Cestrosphendone, it was called. And for the life of me, I have no clue how to make one or fire one properly. I just get the dart all tangled up to hell and back and it doesn't really go anywhere. This is user error, but can someone here tell me how to make one and fire it properly? I'd love to be able to combine atlatls and slings, if I could just get the mechanics of it down...

Thanks i appreciate your help.

thanks douglas

English native?  Nah, the reason you butcher the language is because you speak a randomly pidginised form, known commonly as American English.


  I'm kidding.  I don't mind neologisms, wherever they come from.
 

  I think you should try arrow throwing.  Actually, what am I saying.  I should try arrow throwing too.

it does and thanks.

ok ill cut down an arrow. The picture of the darts looks, a little thicker then normal arrows. Hey...what about lawn darts? shure there no where near period but i think they would work. there heavey, and have that sharp point on them.

I guess that all countrys make fun of all other countrys. over here in the us, its the hight of comady, to make fun of the english. 

But i think its that same over there too isent it?

hahahaha

well you have a dart right. its about 9 inches long, has a sharp point at the end, and is weighted. the fletching is close to the head of the dart. and has a little bit of a handel at the end just like the ammo in the picture.

you throw a lawn dart underhand and it wall always fall point down. the fletching on the dart moves so that once thrown the fletching moves all the way to the back of the dart and is more arrow like.


you play lawn darts by drawing 2 circels on your lawn. 9 feet away from each other. you have 2 teams one at each circle. one guy stands there at the circle throws the dart and trys to get it inside the circle. The closer to the middle the more points you get.

Touching the circle on the outside gets you zip, in side the circle close to the wall, gets you 1 and in the center you get 3.

playing lawn darts requires mass quantites of beer and gets progressively harder as you go (thats from the beer by the way). Its played mosly by your hicks and hill billys.  that means yours truly is pretty good at the game.


my pap is the best player ive ever seen. He could hit that circle evey time.

I watch the Simpsons all the time.  Family Guy is quite rubbish though.  I liked the episode of the Simpsons when Lisa gets married, and they go to England, and all that.  And I like the Book Of English smiles, with Prince Charles and others.  But that is about all I can think of, when the Simpsons make fun of the English.  Apart from the episode when they visit England, and see Tony Blair at Heathrow.  But that hasn't been on regular tv here yet.
  Lawn darts sounds like fun.
