SHOOTING WITH SPEAR THROWER : Learn to hunt like our ancestors



Prehistoric Men of course knew how to throw spears by hand ... but to better surprise the animals, with less risk and more power: they invented the spearthrower, a weapon which makes it possible to launch at double the distance by extending the lever of the arms.

An activity recommended from 5/6 years and for all audiences to learn how to use the spearthrower.

Go hunting armed with a spearthrowers and spears.

Tip: Remember to come early to fully enjoy your day between visiting the Caves and Prehistoric Workshops
