Atlatl at the bushmoot

Rich,
I managed to pick up a bundle of ten, 8ft canes today, only cheapies, so they're very thin on the ends - just ripe to trim down I recon. If you want any more, just shout.

That's great Ogri. It is pretty well impossible to know how many people will be in on the session, or how many canes we might break or reject in the process. Just go with the gut feeling I think.

I am definitely planning to attend this! I tried to make one ataltal, it threw an impressive distance but was very crude and I'm sure I can make a much better one.

I think I will bring my mere bow with me as well.

Up for it.

This is going to be cool, I think there's going to be loads of people interested in this

Well, it happened, and I saw loads of people looking like they enjoyed the whole thing - from making a spur for their atlatl and identifying and fletching a good dart, through knocking hell out of a cardboard duck, to contributing prizes and taking part enthusiastically in an ISAC style competition.

Anyone got some photos?

If it was a good experience then I am glad, and hope that people will look to running some events themselves and inviting others over to join the fun. I believe Jerv might have cracked the insurance issue.

If you PM Phil (Too Much Kit to Carry) he should be able to supply you with photos. Little George's father took a lot of pictures using Phil's camera of the competition.

Here is a couple of the pratice round.
