Our new year started off sadly with the death of close friend and atlatlist Wendell Adams in Kentucky. Wendell was instrumental in reviving hunting and fishing with the atlatl. We will all miss this great friend.
A new atlatl site has been launched! Check out the new site at this link:
We wish everyone a joyous holiday season and a very Happy New Year. We look forward to seeing many of you in the new year. We thank everyone who visited this site this year and invite you to check it out in the coming months as we make changes. Happy New Year!
We have the new atlatl DVD featuring Doug Leeth, Bob Berg, Mark Bracken and Richard Lyons available postage paid for $25. This two-hour DVD, created by Doug Leeth, has a lot of important atlatl information, shows you how to use an atlatl and make darts. It also discusses several theories and shows practical applications of the atlatl. It makes a great gift. It is a “must see” for the beginning atlatlist especially for anyone who has not had any contact with other atlatl throwers. Call 1-800-836-4520 to place your order or write Thunderbird Atlatl, PO Box 764, 90 Main Street, Candor, NY 13743.
