I ...Very neat indeed, especially the organic finds! I have tried on multiple occasions to throw an atlatl properly as part of a previous job teaching kids about Native Americans. God help me if I ever had to throw it in order to eat. The witty adage about vegetarian being the indian word for bad hunter? That would be me.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16690497902669871770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-25698830190923778742010-07-06T19:34:30.280-05:002010-07-06T19:34:30.280-05:00Dammit Micheal, I just cleaned the monitor... *gru...Dammit Micheal, I just cleaned the monitor... *grumble* :-)Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-28779656707207623292010-07-06T18:29:55.665-05:002010-07-06T18:29:55.665-05:00I saw this on Fred Thompson's facebook page.

They aren't difficult to learn to use, but they ARE difficult to use in any way that will kill.<br /><br />The launcher has to be brought downward in it's correct circular path to just get the dart into flight, but to get enough velocity on the dart to penetrate a game animal fatally, it has to be brought downward VERY fast, sharply and with precision.<br /><br />Those three movements are what are hard to master, not the basic trick of throwing the dart. I never did get the short-muscle strength as a kid to be able to get enough velocity on the dart to make the atlatl into a real weapon.Rivrdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685083857476811667noreply@blogger.com
