The Mayas used the spear-thrower known today as an atlatl (really used to hurl long darts rather than spears), bows and arrows, spears, slings and clubs.

When hunting deer (either the white-tail deer or brocket deer) the Maya often used a communal drive system, where as many as 20 hunters from a single village, along with trained hunting dogs, partly surrounded a certain area of land where deer were known to be feeding. Two hunters with dogs entered the area and drove the deer towards the semicircle of waiting men who were armed with bows.

Their weaponry was very similar to the ones of the Aztecs.
