Wilderness Survival Redux - Week 4 | Thursday Morning, A Clearing in the Woods

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

The clearing was set up with a number of targets down one end and a table with a number of weapons laid out on it down the other.

"Since take-out stores don't grow on trees, it's likely that stranded in the wild, you'll need to catch your own food," Callisto said. "This is a selection of the kind of weapons to might be able to make and use to accomplish that."

After giving a brief demonstration of each weapon, Callisto continued. "I want you to spend the rest of the class examining these and yes, you can try them out. But do anything stupid, anything at all, and not only will you be spending the rest of the term in detention, you'll wish I'd used these on you."

The slingshot was the only thing Tyler had used before. He picked it up, looked around for a clear shot, and tried firing a few small rocks at a tree trunk.

He needed to work on his accuracy.

Anders picked up a slingshot, because he was too tired to trust himself with the atlatl (even though he'd have liked to play with it purely because "atlatl" was a cool name) or any of the other weapons.

Once he got the hang of the mechanics, he was happy to discover that his aim was almost as good as it had turned out to be with a gun.

The concept of a slingshot seemed simple enough and manageable enough, so D picked up a few pebles and had a go.

Sam grinned when she saw the slingshot, picked it up, chose some pebbles and started aiming for leaves. It had been a while since she'd stolen Mark's, but she eventually remembered how to aim and fire.

She started aiming for specific leaves, just for fun.
