Visit Thunderbird Atlatl at the Coshocton Flint Festival & Knap In Labor Day Weekend August 30 to September 1

Thunderbird Atlatl will be in Ohio Labor Day Weekend for the Coshocton Flint Festival and Knap In. There will be lots to see and plenty of atlatl demonstrations and opportunities to try the atlatl. The Ohio Atlatl Association will be there. Stop in and visit!

Off to a busy start for the new year!

Looking forward to 2023, the Thunderbird Atlatl staff is setting up our calendar and planning trips for the year! We already were able to travel to Ohio earlier this month for a project with Kent State University. We had a great time with Kent State students and staff with a research project involving stone and copper projectile hafted on atlatl darts.

We appreciated the help of students using atlatls to cast many darts for research on what turned out to be a rather rainy day.

We will post links to the research results as papers and results are published.
