Come and represent the Uk at the world atlatl day competition http://spearthroweruk.blogspot.com/2012/03/throwers-wanted.html It was a real blast last year (we even ,somehow, beat the French!), you don't need to be any good or even have your own kit as we can provide you with some. The rules...

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this post but, Thundirbird atlatl founder Bob Berg will be in the UK over the 16-17th of July. This is a great opportunity to meet an Atlatl legend and learn more about the modern use of the spearthrower. Mr Berg runs a very succesful atlatl shop and...

Here is a video my buddy made that might interest any atlatl people. several different styles of throwing here. One ex world champion and one close contender for european champion I saw one of the throwers throw a 93 ISAC (out of 100) after the competition. The target was about the size of an...

Here Is a brief pictorial on how to make a really easy but very effective atlatl. I saw this design demonstrated by a guy called Russel Richards he said it's a good one for people new to throwing. It's also good for people who don;t have lots of access to natural materials. You'll need an...

I searched for this item before I posted and am amazed that it has been brought up before. http://donnerundblitzen.co.uk/Products/tanandwater.htm My waterproof is close to giving up and I thought about one of these. Does anyone have experience with using these. It'll get used for...

I've been inspired to make a replica of the spearthrowers used by the ancestors. We know what shape the hooks were but the rest is conjecture and I am borrowing heavily of the work done by Pascal Chavaux and others. The materials are red deer (antler and sinew) and birch two materials we know...

Having made hundreds of atlatl darts and driven myself quite mad with all the hand fletching and straightening, I have worked out a quick and easy way to make a pretty decent dart. You'll need: A bamboo pole about 6' long and as straight as you can find. The diameter is really up to you but...

I finished my new atlatl today. The peg is a deer vetebrae. It has a 2oz antler block to serve as a banner stone set close to the handle to increase the stability of the throw.It is held in place with sinew and leather thongs and i've used a leather spacer to help keep it in place. I am a...

I'm looking for a small, light, tough wilderness fishing rod for use when backpacking about the highlands and scandinavia. I only really have the patience for lure fishing and spinning. any reccomendations?

http://users.skynet.be/fa057790/Rosendahl.pdf interested to know what the other bow people think it's not all in french and there are some interesting photos. given the excellence of the holmegaard design it would seem probable that the bow was the result of a fairly long archery...

I have made some dart heads from bone and antler to be mounted on hazel shafts. The heads are alot lighter than the broadheads i usually use. despite the taper of the shaft I am worried that the head will be too light and cause the dart to fly in that wierd porpoise motion. If i use a whole load...
