I think I would rather carry a sling shot and bow adapter and a few take down arrows, and a few different style points. The sling shot can be used with rocks or with the arrows. In Sling-Bow form, it is capable of taking big game if you can get within 15 or 20 yards. At the least, carrying a set of bands can fit in almost any kit.

Do you have Dave Canterbury's slingbow? I bought one but haven't had a chance to field test it yet. (Too afraid of losing the arrows in the 2 metres of snow we still have!) Dave has the hunter bands that are supposed to be 42# and the HD bands which are supposed to be 50-60# draw which are better suited for deer/antelope hunting.
The other type of spear is the atlatl which outperforms an ordinary spear in accuracy.
