Persistence hunting; you don’t have to be accurate, you just need to tire out your prey.
Just wait until those weird hairless apes with back issues learn how to fling those pointy sticks really fast with twine and wood

Yup: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guano

Major natural sources of potassium nitrate were the deposits crystallizing from cave walls and the accumulations of bat guano in caves. Extraction is accomplished by immersing the guano in water for a day, filtering, and harvesting the crystals in the filtered water.
