This atlatl (first and only) I made using a hickory sapling. The spur is made from a brow tine of a mule deer shed antler. The dart is made from two Gold Tip Traditional 7595 shafts (32″ each) mated together with a 3″ bolt shaft and JB Weld. Thrower and Dart construction idea came from The New Atlatl And Dart Workbook by Walter R. Knapp.
