Time to Order Your Atlatl Set For Holiday Giving! Gift Certificates Available!

The Thunderbird Atlatl shop is busy keeping up with inventory and orders. Christmas orders have already started coming in and we are busy getting out orders while maintaining good inventory.

It’s better to order earlier than later to help both the shipping department and our atlatl maker! Give us a call if you are looking for something specific and we’ll see if we can help you.

Besides holiday shopping, we are also told that we should let everyone know that an atlatl and dart set is perfect for end of the world/doomsday predictions set for December 21 by the Mayan Calendar. Regardless of what happens December 21, you will be ready for something-hopefully the new year – 2013!

We will be adding gift certificates to our catalog later today. We can send gift certificates via email or snailmail – your choice.

Pictured below are some of our popular atlatl styles:

We’re Ready for your Christmas Orders! Yes, Everything is Made In the USA!

If you are thinking about an atlatl set for yourself or someone else for Christmas, give us a call or order online! We are increasing our inventory daily and are keeping plenty of atlatls in stock.

A customer asked recently where are atlatls and darts were made. All of our atlatls and darts are made in Candor, New York, in our shop. We control the process from purchasing raw materials to the finished project. The photos below shows Ash logs arriving in September to be made into atlatls and darts. We pride ourselves in using the complete log for the finest darts and atlatls. Even the wood that isn’t suitable for atlatls and darts is used for various projects including wood flooring and trims. Of course, the remainder goes to the woodstove – we do live in the Northeast and winter is coming!

Last weekend, Reality Rush put on a “Big Brother” themed competition featuring celebrities including pop star Lance Bass, actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler, actress Sara Paxton, baseball player Cutter Dykstra, actor Zach Cregger, and more — as well as Big Brother star/winner Dan Gheesling and his wife, Chelsea.

The event also featured several other Big Brother stars, including Mike “Boogie” Malin, Jeff Schroeder, Rachel Reilly & Brendon Villegas.

The twelve players competed through a three day game based on the CBS reality show “Big Brother.” According to the Reality Rush website: “It is a complete understatement to say this cast BROUGHT IT! It was our most competitive group of gamers to date that delivered a game packed with intense strategy, alliances and big moves.”

One of the “Power of Veto” challenges featured Thunderbird Atlatls! Here are some photos of the celebrities (including Lance Bass, Sara Paxton, Zach Cregger and Dan Gheesling) throwing our atlatls and darts.

The celebrities had a great time playing and competing with the atlatls. The ultimate winner of the atlatl challenge was Nick Todisco, who beat out Big Brother winner Dan Gheesling for the Power of Veto and managed to take him out of the game in the next round…so this was a crucial challenge in the competition!

For more information about this event, or Reality Rush, please see this blog post about the game: EVICTION: Celebrity Edition.
