aaron:
i make mine with extra weight- usually inside the boo. try wrapping yours with wire to see the effect,

bubby:
just wondering how picky you have to be on dart straightness, as picky as an arrow or not?

Ifrit617:
my darts are not very straight... Obviously you don't want a 90 degree angle in it but a little snakiness is fine... a dart flexes a massive amount in flight so straightness is not much of an issue... just make sure your darts are spined to about 4 or 5 pounds and you'll be all set. to spine a dart take the shaft and push it down on a bathroom scale... It will go up to a max weight, then continue flexing without the weight changing... this is your spine weight... Happy throwing..

bubby:
thank's Jon, later this year we need to make a trade, maybe some knapped points or something for one of you're atlatl's, Bub

swamp monkey:
My first set were not real straight.  They worked OK.  As time went on I wanted a set of "going to town" darts so i fancied up a new set.  My experience is similar to Jon's.  Take pride in your work and call it good.

best of luck.
