Apr 16^th, 2009 at 9:20am Yesterday my friends and I were messing around with their dogs infront of one of my friend's neighbor's yard. All of the sudden his neighbor comes out with this tennisball thrower...basically a rock atlatl. Seen here- http://www.gundogsupply.com/chuckit.html

I compared it to a sling staff and brought mine out. Loaded the tennis ball into it an WHHOOOM! The dog liked it.

The pouch was basically just a hand-released stone holder and didnt swing around, all the swinging was done by the staff.
