I don't know if it really belongs in this forum, but I made these yesterday. The atlatl is hickory, and the dart shaft is wild rose with a dogwood foreshaft. After tweaking the dart a little, I have made it so that it will shoot 75 yds. I was very surprised at the power and distance that this weapon is capable of, it hits like a hammer at short range! I also made these pitch sticks today. The picture isn't very good, sorry

Sweet looks good....I want to build one!

Cool! There's some more atlatl threads in the ooga booga section. They certainly do have some penetration power. I put a dart through a wrecked prius door at the junkyard. If I never hit anything with a dart again I'll be satisfied! Ugly darn cars! Lol! Josh
