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!

Is that the tip of the finger to elbow or the wrist to elbow?....I just made one myself and was wondering what would work best.

That was my question! The guy couldn't remember but I'd guess the center of the Palm. Why? Cause it kinda makes sense in my mind since that'd be the distance from the atlatl to elbow
