bob, i think that's an atlatl and a one-fletch dart.

on the bow, i read somewhere (i think in the TBB 1) that inferior woods were sometimes made with deflexed tips.  that way the bow could stay strung without stressing the wood, but more importantly, it would not have to bend as much to reach drawlength, thus reducing stress as well.

Marc St Louis:
Yes some of those are darts

I took the opportunity to upload some of the pics to my site, where they should come in full size. Here's some more pics.

Marc St Louis:
Well even through my site the pics are still scaled down. If anyone wants to see them full size, for more details then just go here and change the # after the last / from 1 to 12

There are more pictures but those are all I have time to upload for now, takes time on dial up
