Nice! Looks well made. I can't help noticing your vast.. er.. meths burner collection.. Impressive. Why you have so many? is it just experimentation? lol.
Anyway, the tail flights & nock look good. What range do you get out of the dart? How long is the launcher? Have you read the articles about "banner stones" attached to launchers in prehistory?
These weapons systems are the first system of mechanical advantage for a projectile weapon that our ancient ancestors developed. It is what raised us above the rest of the food chain and is what we wiped out most of the bug game with in prehistory. It is much undervalued and under estimated today. It has many advantages compared to the more complex bow. While it will not do all a bow does, it does other tasks better. Much much under realised in modern times!!!
(I am not teaching a grandmother to suck eggs as I know you will know all this already W&C - I have put it up for all the other forum viewers) TL.
Should read BIG GAME, not "BUG GAME". Quite the other end of the scale but no less deadly! lol
For all afficionardoes out there --> Not dissing bows. Bows have many advantages and are a superior weapon tech. The Atlatl is good at what it does and has some different advantages in some scenarios. that is all.
