I keep forgetting Google is my friend. Google says between 60-100 mph. 100 is 147 fps. So the average guy will be a bit over 100fps. With a 1500 grain dart it's going to pack quite a whallop.

Yup DC, i'm thinking even 60 mph would be nasty.

wicked looking point, Brian. And nice kit too. Glad to see some atlatl postings here at PA.
I read somewhere that dart momentum is right up there with any bow and arrow. I have been using a unibit for drilling fore shaft sockets
GlisGlis:
Very nice atlatl and scary point !!!
Thankyou for setting in me the instant urge to make one ;D
