ATLATL pics thread.....

part Cherokee:
Well here goes nothing. This is my first atlatl and i must say im quit proud of it.
This in one fun weapon!!! However dont dismiss the deadliness of this weapon.
I threw a non fletch 6' cane dart 75 yards with this thing and Ive never thrown an atlatl dart in my life.
Now imagine somebody who had nearly been born with one of these in hand. I also threw the same dart(with no point just sharpened stick more less) at about 20 yards missed my target and it penetrated a 1/2 plank thats part of my fence. Can you say force!!

DanaM:
Thats cool I need to make some new darts for mine, their a blast to throw and I love the strange looks I get from passerbys :)

rileyconcrete:
How does that work? would love to see a video or something. Looks like you used some of the mule deer antlers.  Looks cool.

part Cherokee:
  I cant post videos sorry. If you get on youtube and search "atlatl" several vids will pop up.
 Basiclly just put your index finger through one loop,your thumb through the other loop  while your 3 remaining fingers hold on to the handle. Then knock the dart on the far end where the spur is and on the other end hold the dart between your thumb and index finger.
  Hey yea the mule deer sheds were great thanks!!! You got anymore?
