It doesn't matter what I think needs regulating. It matters what the larger group of us can come up with as reasonable regulations. We regulate calibre of bullets, arrow construction, and other things. Is it that preposterous to suggest regulating another weapon or two? I'm all for spears and atlatls. I'd like to try it too. But why is this thread turning into such an argument?
Maybe blade width, minimum length, density or mass, materials, manners in which the blade can be fastened? ? ? .... i'm sure more of us could come up with something appropriate better than I could on my own.

Its not the actual spear/atlatl that is causing the hubbub.
Its the manner of which it came to everyone's attention that made it such a mess.
From the youtube footage grew a monster.
Then people started worrying about the image of hunters by putting stock in what the anti's think of us hunters.
Then someone wanted to ban it.
Then someone wanted to regulate it.
Then someone wanted it to be a separate hunting association.
Then on and on and on.......
Now its a runaway train with all the passengers fighting over who's gonna conduct the train.
Does this help your confusion? Lol
