Atlatl

<< < (3/3)

Dane:
The power you get is so impressive. I don't know if you can chronograph darts, but I read recently you can get the darts going over 100 miles per hour. They hunted wooly mammoths and other big game with these, after all. An atlatl is so much easier to build than a bow, too. And, if you found yourself in a survival situation, this weapon would be very viable.

M-P:
Hey, I made one of these things , too, and a couple of darts to go with.  I'm far from good at using the darn things, but with practice I've gone from being lucky if the dart went the right direction, to being able to hit a 6" target at 10 yards.  Like I said, not impressive, but a step in the right direction.    Ron
