When Eino asked why he was being so wasteful, he said, “The heads are on the wrong side!” Eino looked at him and said, “You dummy, those are for the other side of the house!” IP Logged

Posts: 178	Re: Just made some Atlatls Reply #1 - Sep 5^th, 2023 at 11:30pm I got some 4' by 3/8" dowels at the hardware store the other day, and with simple duct-tape fletching they made great practice darts. Sadly there were no 6' by 1/2" dowels, so I am splicing some 4' and 2' sections together. I used this site for reference: http://www.thudscave.com/npaa/darts/index.htm.
