atlatl's anyone?

atlatls are the bow and arrow's predicessor (sp?). mammoths, elk, buffalo,moose, etc were all taken down with atlatls.

i'm not saying a sling shot is not a good weapon. it is. i just think there isnt going to be one weapon good for every possible hunting/killing/defense aspect.

my darts are work in progress. i havent been able to make larger ones of actual hunting size. current ones are about 4ft with target tips.
actual hunting darts should be about 8ft with arrowheads, etc. tips.

decent video. though i would sort of point the peg. i would not glue the feathers on like that at all, i admit i laughed at that part.
