	The '''throwing club''' or throwing stick [[page type is::definition\|is]] one of the first weapons used by early humans and cultures all around the world. In essence, it is a short stave or wooden club thrown as a projectile to hunt small game such as rabbits or waterfowl. In flight, it rotates rapidly, cracking the target with one of the ends, maiming or killing it. A throwing stick can be straight like a pointed wooden shaft or curved like the [[boomerang]], and is much shorter than the [[javelin]]. It became obsolete as [[sling]]s and [[bow]]s became more prevalent. Throwing sticks shaped like returning boomerangs are designed to go straight to a target. Their surfaces are not shaped unevenly like airfoils, but are symmetrical on both sides, and do not exhibit curved flight.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throwing_stick</ref>		The '''throwing club''' or throwing stick [[page type is::definition\|is]] one of the first weapons used by early humans and cultures all around the world.
