@CV422 Sulfur and salt peter is veeeeeeeeeeeery hard to find in the forest let alone the ingredients at all for the salt peter, Even if you own a weapon with cordite for propellant thats even harder to find and make.... plus skilled people can get this baby up to 200 mph I've heard.

I saw the title wrong i though it said how to make an atari @_@

[Squashism]

i thought this would have the way used to make one sorta like the way the natives did. not using a drill a ruler a lot of glue and a precise length of wood.

Now all we need is a howcast video that tells us what an atlatl is and how to use it!

@thejukeboxers I agree in principle, but I do have one negative comment. If I am in need of an atlatl, I am not going to have any of these tools available to me, and after watching the video, I realize it's not much help.
