Hi Roy,

New Guinea arrows are easy, because they aren't fletched. They may not be nocked either, because some PNG tribes use a strip of rattan rather than a string to string their bows.

That said, you do have to watch out for modern atlatl darts, which look like oversized arrows.

That's not what this is, though. Tim nailed it.

Best,

F
