"Primitive arrow" kinetic energy = 29 foot pounds
Modern arrow kinetic energy = 58 foot pounds
A spear as much as much as 167 foot pounds of energy

(though though may have reverse the heavy/light)

Okay, now a 750 grain .50 BMG = 13241 foot pounds of
energy...

The guy is a psychopaths. He's on a "Ranch" or "Farm" or
whatever that breeds these animals (they're technically
not wild) so that psychopaths can kill them simply for the
joy of killing.

"Exotic Animals."

There's a longer version where he states, "That was fun."

But enough about that. The point is how long it takes
this animal to fall & die.

Neanderthal tech was just about as fast, or faster.

If you have a long, sharp, thin blade on a spear, and
sit in a tree limb above a game trail, maybe leading
to a watering hole, maybe a bear's den, you can kill
a bear in seconds.

The spear operates as a lever. Wait. That's wrong.

IT IS A LEVER!

So the result is not going to be a deep puncture
wound by a huge swath cut inside of an animal.

The animal running away is going to make this
worse, especially if the spear is hitting bushes,
trees or ANYTHING for that matter. The animal
is literally working that lever, ripping an ever
larger gash through it's internal organs...

Ambush hunting is a very effective way to hunt,
about as effective as hitting an animal with a
.50 caliber rifle.

On the savanna, according tot he collective, African
natives will choose walking towards a pride of
hungry lions over hunting antelope...

I mean, just feast your eyes on all this incredibly
effective spear hunting on an African savanna:

Amazing. Amazing that the collective hasn't drowned
in it's own urine... yet.
