 I made this atlatl today, had a dry branch of privet i think and split it then drawknifed it flat. Carved out the tip with my flex shaft, torched the top and on the back side i left some cadmium she really throws well

Tracker0721:
I need to build one, that looks cool! The Cambium was a good idea. Met a guy who was telling me a bunch of university students attend the glass buttes knappin one year and did a test to figure out what length dart to atlatl would throw the farthest, they found across the board that using a atlatl the length of elbow to hand matched with a dart 3.14 times that length flew the farthest every time. Musta been a fun test, worth trying those dimensions too!
