Our staff is busy working at getting atlatl orders out. Give us a call if you have any questions or need anything special. As always, our loyal canine helper, Tina, travels daily to our local post office. She makes sure the packages leave our shop and are safely delivered for the start of their journey.

Tina is one of our most loyal workers. She makes sure she helps with deliveries to the post office every day. During the Christmas season, she gets to dress up!
A couple of other helpers-Fletcher & Molly. This was from a couple of years ago when Fletcher was visiting. However Molly and her pal, Opal, continue the work.

Atlatls, Darts Great Gift Idea! Order Early!

The Thunderbird Atlatl shop is ready for the annual Christmas and Holiday gift cycle. Our atlatl elves are busy working on inventory. Looking at the December calendar, we think December 18 is probably the last day we can guarantee priority mail service to your location for Christmas. We can also look into Express mail shipping and other options to get a better guarantee after that date.

We ship most of our items priority mail through the US post office but by the third week of December, all the shipping services are getting bogged down and we notice their normal shipping guarantees are not as accurate as they usually are. We will do our best to get your orders out as quickly as possible.

If you have a special order, please call before December 10 and we will see what we can do to meet that. We also offer gift certificates. Give us a call at 1-800-836-4520 if you have any questions. Thank you for looking at our site.
