Well it has been forever since I've made a youtube video, but here is the latest one: making and throwing an atlatl dart.

I really need to make the effort to get some nice darts made and do some practice. Yours are looking really nice!

Nice video.  You had some good shots there. Which do you feel is easier to aim the sling or atlatl?

Thanks fellas.

In my experience, the atlatl is easier to aim. When you think about it, barring strong winds you only need to concern yourself with the vertical axis. But.......... I also think the sling has more power in the throw. A slingstone definitely travels further.

C. A.!!! How could you possibly suggest such a thing!  Angry I have many written testimonies that would give veracity to my brother's prowess. ( And the most common phrase that occurs is "showing off"...) Grin Wink

Thanks!
