Bob, Isn't it spelled atlatl (pronounced at-lattel). I know folks that are good enough with them to hunt with them but I don't know if most states allow them for hunting. Probably most state officials wouldn't even know what they are. ;) Pat
M-P:
There is a world atlatl association, complete with web page and info. Last spring I read an article where the author had contacted state game agencies checking the legality of hunting/ fishing with atlatls. Many of the contacted officials had no idea what an atlatl was. After interpeting their state regulations though an answer was recieved from most states. Totally not OK in some. OK for fishing just about every where that spear fishing is OK. And OK for small game, non game, private or feral species in several others. You will need to contact your own state agency before hunting! Oh and practice a lot. My own skills with an atlatl are truly pitiful, but some people are awesome with the things. Try checking youtube for atlatl videos. Ron
