I'm so going to make an atlatl!

(1/3) > >>

Bushman452:
My grand-parents lease have a lot of good materials for making primitive equipment. And since deer are everywhere on their land I could start hunting them with an atlatl. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be illegal as long as I'm on private property.

JackCrafty:
Hmmm.....hunting deer with a spear is not something you want to risk (in most states)....you might get your license taken away.  On the upside, you can make a gigantic bow and say the atlatl is a gigantic arrow (just in case someone comes snooping around). ;D

Don't get caught.

david w.:
I think you can do it in OK.

Wiggy:
It wouldn't fly here in TN. That's kind of odd isn't it, that some states won't let you hunt with a primitive (although amazingly powerful) weapon.

I used to make atlatls when I didn't live here. I've found that about 90% of success with one is making a dart with a proper spine. Tuning one is fairly easy. Good luck!
