Atlatl Practice (at the Pasadena Archery Range)

A morning spent practicing with the atlatl at a local archery range. Just messing around with different shots from different distances and situations.

If you're interested in the atlatl, you should check out the World Atlatl Association. We're a group of atlatlists from all around the world. Visit the website at: worldatlatl.org/

Also, come visit with us at the WAA discussion forum - housed at PaleoPlanet.net.

Happy atlatling!

nice throws, i made a okay atlatl and they go about 40 yards with great accuracy. the darts are 4 feet dowles with duck tape for the replacement of feathers and the shaft is 1 1/2 feet in length. any suggestions on improving my atlatl.
