Many people have expressed an interest in getting more information about atlatl hunting and fishing. We have come a long way since those first lame attempts at hunting with atlatls and darts ten years ago, but now after making and correcting many mistakes we have developed good workable systems for both hunting and fishing. We have also looked for and found many places where it is legal to hunt or fish with the atlatl and dart. Thanks to the many people who have assisted and accompanied me on my adventures. Bob Berg

Check out a new website on Atlatl Hunting and Fishing.

Welcome to Thunderbird Atlatl’s website. This week we had visitors from Germany- the Weigel Family, who are all good atlatlists.

Next week we plan to be at Land Between the Lakes in western Kentucky for the second annual atlatl fishing derby. All are welcome to join us. Please email me for further information if you plan to go. Bob Berg

We are glad to have the Family Weigel as guests here at out home in Candor. As many of you already know, Paul is an exchange student who is staying with us for the school year. His parents Uli, Jutta and sister Lene have come to visit. What is special is that we came in contact through this web site. We are having a good time getting to know Paul’s family. We went to the atlatl contest on Tuesday evening at Brandon Anderson’s house and enjoyed the comaradie of the Tioga Atlatl Association. The Waa is truly a world organization. Bob Berg

Spring Fever is hitting the atlatl world! Atlatl contests started in January but they become more and more plentiful as we move into the warmer weather. Check out the World Atlatl Association website for a complete listing of upcoming contests.

Thunderbird Atlatl had some earlier adventures in Feburary and the beginning of March in Florida, Georgia and Alabama. We will be attending shows in Georgia, New York, Pennsylvania and Michigan over the next few months.

A new news script has been added to this website which allows for the owners of Thunderbird Atlatl to update their website without the help of a third party. This will hopefully result in a more up-to-date and enjoyable site for all visitors!

The 2001 events calendar has been updated with all of the atlatl-related events that we currently know about. If you know of an atlatl-related event that is not located on the shows page, please tell us! Robert Berg has also written an article about some of his atlatl boar hunting experiences. Check it out with the link to the right!
