    First, lean all the way back, then, aim up. Next, aim where you want it go. Finally, push/lean forward,and let go.

    Try using sturdier paper such as cardstock or construction paper to make your spear shaft stronger and less likely to bend. Use 2 sheets of sturdy paper and be sure to tape up the shaft well so it's held together firmly and securely.

    Yes, you could try using a hot glue gun to glue the paper together. Apply the glue to the creases after you fold the spearhead so it holds together. When you roll up the paper for the shaft, add a line of glue just before the end so it seals shut when you roll it all of the way up. Add a dab of glue to the end of the spear shaft before you insert it into the spearhead and let the glue dry so they're connected. Hot glue can burn your skin so be careful when you use it.
