ATLATLS speer chucking

[cva54]

 Any one use 1 or knows what thay are? Sounds like some fun and a good wast of time! But wouldnt it be somting to say I got a deer with one!

[MnSportsman]

I know what they are & what they are for...They have been around for thousands of years....
 Using them increases the "leverage" in throwing. Much like a lever to pry something open..I'm not going to go into the "dynamics" here, since many folks have no idea what you are talking about....

I am amused, since you brought this up....Since there isn't any "defined" use for them in hunting in The U.S. as far as I know...

 Feel free to be a "trend-setter" & start a new sport.

For those than don't know what an Atlatl is:

There is pictures and video showing how to use one. 

It wasn't too long ago there was a show on one the "man channels" (Discovery, History, National Geographic) about Atlatls...pretty cool to say the least!

Weapon master this guy is nuts he took a atlatl and made new /arrow with a screw on broad head witch held a 44 mag round and others 410,223 and so on.

I have been out shead hunting need the rack to make my atlatl. It is going to a lot of fun when I go to the bow range. Cant wait to see all there faces. MNsportsman I got a new sport I would like to try I call it extreme deer hunting. It is real simple just hang out in a tree with a GOOD trail under it when a deer walks under me just drop out of tree with my vary sharp knife. Can't call it new and dont know if I will live throught it. Life hasnt killed me yet!

when i went to a pow wow thingy when i was younger i got to use one of the atlatls they are kind of tricky at first but its a lot faster than a spear when you figure it out

[trout whisperer]

if im not mistaken........ATLATLS ....were outlawed in minnesota several years ago..and the reason........a guy made one out of aluminum tent poles and a sharpened boat prop.....and actually speared a black bear from a platform stand just outside brimson minnesota during the bear season with a valid bear tag over a bait pile......but i seem to recall the mn dnr threw a dagger in this spearing big game concept.........
