Well I went to Lowe's and picked up a 5/16th x 48" solid fiberglass shaft, and a 1" Poplar dowell. Ran the tip of the shaft through my sanding jig to put a point taper on it, and fletched it with some junk uncut yellow feathers I had. The shaft was bright red to begin with. Hacked on the dowell until it acted like an Atlatl. Painted that red also (all I had) Everything is drying, so I havn't tried it yet, but I sure won't lose it.
john, richard evens has a Atlatl and darts . im not sure when he gets back home but i think he would let you use it ? or atleast copy it to make your own.
I got an atatl and arrow if'n I can find it. It's in the garage somewhere.
