my first real atlatl and dart.
« on: November 04, 2007, 02:04:13 pm »
this is my first real atlatl and dart. i have made one out in the woods with some small shoots and stuff but this is my first real attempt. i can hit a deer target like 4 out of 5 tries right now. so hows it look?

i made the dart out of two shoots and spliced em togeather. the atlatl is made or a sapling and antler for a spur. i also put a fox squirrel tail at the end to look cool. theres a weight and its tied with rawhide. the loops are rawhide too.

Hi, It looks good to me, and you're doing better than I ever have at using the dang things.   I think atlatls are fun, but I never parctice enough to get any good.   Ron
