Here's my main hobby. I like to make things out of wood and shoot sharp projectiles out of them. I saw some slingshots on here so I figured I'd show you some of my arsenal.[attachment=3]

Very interesting, you do extremely nice work. Thanks for the photos!

I know a couple of people who use an Atlatl, and in the right hands they are extremely accurate and effective.

Those are VERY cool. It looks like its in the right hands there. Thanks for sharing something different. I'd like to see more when you have time. Very good looking work.

A few more pics.

What sort of distance do you hunt at with the Atlatl and the bow?

Les, at live animals I'm comfortable to about 12 yards with the Atlatl and 20 with my selfbows. The deer in the picture above was taken at 4 yards out of a ladderstand.

Excellent! That is impressive shooting with "old technology".

I'll second that. I'm very impressed. Thanks for those pictures.

I will third that.

I am impressed too.
