I'd say iKlwa is right! That's some deadly accuracy!
Out of personal curiosity, is the iKlwa the same as the assegai, or is it another spear? I've used the assegai in martial arts training, and I could easily see how incredibly useful it is.

Halfseminole yes it is an assegai but very short hafted to bring the zulu warrior in close contact with the enemy. Very interesting history on this particular fighting spear. The iKwla was King Shaka's own introduction and the discipline and courage needed to make it the effective weapon it was, was immense.His warplans and strategies compared well with big strategists with hundreds of years of experience behind them. Read Shaka Zulu by E.A. Ritter
