ARTWORK STORY
Spearthrowers, or woomeras, are basically lengths of wood with either a peg or socket on one end to engage the butt of the spear. When used it acts as a lever allowing the hunter to throw the spear much further than he can by hand alone, while increasing penetration and maintaining accuracy.
