A video of me throwing with an atlatl at a World Atlatl Association event at Meadowcroft, Avella, PA. I admit to having fairly lousy form. I stand upright (bow legs and all) a bit like a baseball pitcher. I don't know if this is inherently good or bad but it's what felt natural to me. The footage at the end was captured with an Oregon Scientific ATC-2K camera strapped to a dart.

I was asked by Hobbexp to show how to make an atlatl. Here it is, hope you enjoy. Sorry the creek is so loud. It is very full this time of year. Made with all stone tools. Mabey we'll refine it later to make it work easier. It was very slick from all the sap. Once it dries, it will be MUCH easier to hold on to.
