We received a note from Russ Guthrie of Pennsylvania that the video of his seven year old grandson killing a deer with an atlatl is being featured in a Deer & Deer Hunting newsletter blog
Russ’ grandson, seven at the time the video was recorded, is shown using one of Thunderbird Atlatl’s Kanakadea Atlatls and a Thunderbird dart to take the deer. You can see the video at this link:
Our friends, Mark and Phoebe Morris at Owego House Productions, tell us they are in the finishing stages of editing a new DVD featuring Thunderbird Atlatl. We look forward to offering it on our website and at shows we go to.

Prelude to Traditional Fletching is a new video just completed by Thunderbird Atlatl. The video shows how to make traditional thread using hemp fiber. This is a great video for those wanting to learn the techniques for traditional fletching.
We’re planning to release new videos on this site so be sure to keep checking back.
