We are recovering from the holiday rush and looking forward to a busy new year! Our dart manufacturing is in full swing and we have a couple of new atlatl designs which we will be showcasing in the next few weeks. We are working on a new catalog and updating our online catalog. It will take a few weeks. If you need any help with your orders, just give us a call at 800-836-4520 and we will help you.
