My first set of atlatl and darts...
« on: October 07, 2010, 03:40:47 am »
Had atlatlist Bob Berg to visit here a while back which inspired me to make my first altalt and darts.
The atlatl bends in an even arc, 'tillered' by dishing the back. Woods are black walnut, maple, prune, hock, dart rest and bannerstone are deer antler. Darts are pine dowel rods.
Will be tested next weekend (if the weather is nice).
Thanks for looking.

WOW that's fancy
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW WHAT A RIDE!!
