  • 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.

  • LOL, the hippy looking dude surprised me when he pulled out all of the math to explain atlatl physics.

    Pretty impressive.

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

  • the guy painted his thumbnail...

  • look at the dart writhe in flight... could the Feathered Serpent actually be the atlatl projectile?

  • so that's how wood is straightened. wtf.

  • what tree do they use?
