Could be, but when I was in my teens I'd get interested in an idea and I'd go with it. I made boomerangs, mostly because I was interested in primitive weapons. I also made a throwing stick, spears, spear launchers (spear throwers), slings, Bows and Crossbows.
Next to the crossbow, the spear and spear thrower were the most accurate. Both were deadly.
I was a pitcher in Little league all the way through high school, fed myself on many a camping trip throwing rocks. A 5-6 ounce rock travelling at 70 + MPH will get the job done on small game. Campfire cooked Quail or Rabbit is delicious.
