Title: atlatl
Post by JTK on Jan 15^th, 2008 at 5:27pm

ok, i was thinking of making an atlatl. i was thinking of taking a peice of oak about 2 feet long and using a semi-spere router bit (on a router table) and carvin out the center and leaving a notch at the end to hold the dart. any tips or recomendations on making it and the darts?

im looking into them myself. all i know is that your darts need to be about 6 ft long and look like an arrow on crack :P rivercain makes great darts.
