I think in some areas the shaft would be the hardest thing to produce. I've looked pretty extensivly in Alberta and can't find anything that's 1/2"-3/4" in diameter and 5 or 6 feet long. I assume paleo man must have gotten something decent and scraped it down. That's a lotta work.

I wonder if the other alternative would be to use a heavy spear with an atlatl and just get closer?
