ATATL however its spelled
Kegan:
There was somehting about having an atlat season in PA a few years back. Never got anywhere- not alot of people knew what it was.
And I only learned to spell it atlatl 'cause that's how I saw it the first time I read it ;D
M-P:
Kegan, Just a play off your tag line. There is a guy calls hisself Atlatl Bob, who often says that man's distancing from nature and general decline began when the bow was invented. Course then I think he's over looking the fact that most of the america's megafauna became extinct shortly after atlatl toting folks arrived on the continent. I mean there went the neighborhood. ;) ;) ;) Ron

Used one at a rendezvous this summer and of course had to build one. Sent for a book and built an atlatl and a dart. Still have to put a leather strap on it but kind of lost interest.
It's of course made of osage but think I'll stick to bows!!

mullet:
Sorry ,But it's spelled ," ATLATL" ,and in Florida if the point is 7/8" wide it can be used.And here's the catch,whichever Game Officer you happen to talk to. But you can stick hogs on private property with whatever you want.
