    That is some nice work.

    As far as the atlatl, did I miss the joke? I used to compete regular in traditional archery. I never had the desire to own or make one. by the way: If it was a short shoot, I used an English Longbow. Long shoots, I used a Composite Longbow. For those unfamiliar with my use of terms, this region calls a single wood, un-notched longbow an English Longbow, the arrow rest on your index finger. A Composite Longbow is made of two or more different types of wood compressed.

    Sorry, the atlatl subject was my fault... I'm defective and my thoughts bleed over from other threads.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    Ted was teasing me. I have the peculiar hobby of making primitive style weapons. He and I had been discussing making a flint dirk in another thread.
