Peasant Staff:
The common peasant weapons are the long staff, as in the medieval quarterstaff and the "Peasant Bow," or Longbow, which earns them respect from all castes, even the Warriors. Quotes: Still hunting
Throwing sticks:
A curved stick used by rencers to hunt gant, it is thrown to stun the bird.
Quotes:
In her hand was a curved throwing stick, used for hunting birds. It is not a boomerang, which would be largely useless among the sedges and rushes, but it would, of course, float, and might be recovered and used indefinitely. Some girls are quite skilled with this light weapon. It stuns the bird, which is then gathered from the water and tied, alive, in the craft. ---Raiders of Gor, 2:10
