Had to google that one. Looks like it doubles that power of the throw.

An atlatl dart with a quartzite point will go all the way through an aluminum storage building, and will poke a hole in the hood of a late 60s Ford 3000 tractor. Don't ask me how I know.

I would love to have one of your points of any type. I have a Hillsborough I need to send you.

A few times in there like to killed me.

As long as we are in the time machine, I'd say back to between 48 and 64 and hold it in there.

Things were good then.

Yep…..there was a mistake or two I’d like to correct as well.

I have an atlatl. Made it about 35 years ago.

I love those things! I'm amazed that they were around before the bow & arrow. I guess leverage was more intuitive than stored energy. Another early weapon I like (I made one when I was in the Air Force) is a sling.

Okay I cheated. I used the tongue of an old boot for the pouch and 550 cord for the cord.
