For those who are interested in progress on atlatl hunting in Pennsylvania, we will try to keep you posted. If you would like to support the efforts, please contact the Pennsylvania Game Commissioners.

Bob Berg of Thunderbird Atlatl went to Harrisburg, Pa. on January 22, 2006 and spoke to the Pennsylvania Game Commission.
Here is Bob’s report on the presentation: I felt after talking to several of the Commissioners that we still do have a good chance at getting the atlatl accepted as a legal hunting implement. I think the major hurdle is still to get the PGC staff up to speed on how the atlatl is used for hunting. I think they are most concerned with creation the language describing it and setting parameters for it. Things like the size of the point need to be addressed. I am ready and willing to travel to anywhere in Pennsylvania to help the Game Commission staff with anything they need help with concerning atlatls. Gary Fogelman, Jack Rowe and Dennis Lantz were there with me. I thank them all for their support. -Bob Berg

We wish all our customers and friends a very Happy New Year and look forward to hearing from many of you in 2006.

Gary Nolf did a fantastic job demonstrating the atlatl during a “Show and Tell” piece on the David Letterman show on December 23rd. Congratulations Gary.

We look forward to new adventures and challenges in 2006. We are also closely watching and supporting efforts in Pennsylvania to approve the atlatl for hunting.

In February, we plan to be at The Alamo in Texas and then on to Florida for the annual Paynes Prairie Knap-In. We will be updating the catalog and the web page in the next few days. We also plan to be making some other changes so please call us at 1-800-836-4520 if you have any trouble accessing the web page or experience any problems as we fine tune.

Thank you all for all your support and encouragement in 2005.
