Atlatl Bob is the one who discovered that atlatl handles were designed to flex, as well as the dart.
The stone that is tied with sinew to the handle is there to tune the handle, so that it un-flexes at the right moment in the cast.
Before Bob made this contribution, paleontologists thought atlatls were stiff as a 2x4 and pretty lame-o weapons. Not so!
Takes some practice to aim, though.

Pretty impressive.

The craftsmanship's superb. Hundreds of years ago he would have been employed by kings and generals to be master craftsman.
