So back before the white man on the Great Plains the Indians used to stampede Bison off a cliff. There, hunters were waiting with spears to kill the injured Bison. They were using stone spear points attached to a hollow short staff. The main staff was solid and once the first shaft and spear point entered the animal they could quickly fit another over the main shaft and spear them again.
I learned all this from an elderly rich guy. He owned a large oil company in Kansas. He had a big glass display case in his opulent office. In it was a Bison skull and complete spinal column. Amazingly every vertibrea had a stone spear point embedded in it. That was 40 years ago. I made a drawing of how that must have looked. I wonder if I still have it.
