Single Finger Loop Atlatls
Ray Madden first showed me this style. Thin, flexible slat-type atlatls with a basketmaker appearance, but rather than a double finger loop, it has a single finger loop for the little/pinky...

Donnie, your arrows are awesome! I shot them today and they flew a well as they look - Beautiful! (with a capital "B").I'm contemplating saving them for hunting arrows. I'm going to make nice stone...

Tom, The atlatl came in today! It's the one on the far end of your picture. It fits my hand really good, I'll be using it this weekend. You are a real artist, is the Single Finger Loop your design?...

Glad you like it Donnie. As far as I know, the single finger loop throwers were started by an atlatlist named Ray Madden. He's from MO, and is an excellent atlatlist and an amazingly generous and all...

I'm anxious to hear about your experimentations with them. Good, bad, or ugly reports are welcomed. We all have our favorite styles, and those are not my favorite either...but I do find them to work...

I just gave mine a pretty decent workout. Nice and stable. I really enjoyed throwing it and scored my highest ISAC ever with it (55, long way to go) great stuff.

Great...thanks for the feedback. Did you end up with the Osage atlatl Kuovi (the one with the yellow wood?)???Tom

Tom I got the osage chucker. I used it at a 3-D archery event Sunday.Killed a number of foam animals with it. LOL!!! The other archers were impressed when I did hit something. I like the wider board...

LOL...you got the crazy one! I got a bit carried away with that one. But truth be told, I like that one the best. The pigment is red ocher from my homeland in NY - about 1/2 way in between us...

how do you make red ochre fast? I like the thing it's quite fancy. I painted one of my atlatls up all fancy once like an aborigine I also festonned one with squirrel tails and pheasant feathers. I...

I really didn't Kuovi. I primarily used it as a stain, making a watery solution and letting it soak into the wood, with a little bit thicker application over the top. It will eventually fade a bit I...

Took mine to the woods this morning, not sure if the weight helped but I through 10-20 yards farther than with my atlatls. The dart was pretty limber, I have some stiffer cane drying and will test...

About 70 yards I suppose. That's all I can get. I've never gotten the extra 30 as some people claim.
View ArticleRe: Single Finger Loop Atlatls
45 yards is about my outside range, but I've got a LOT of non-functional body parts (knees, hip, ankle, elbow) so I'm impressed that I can throw it THAT far!
View ArticleRe: Single Finger Loop Atlatls
It mostly depends on the dart/ how heavy and aerodynamic.I throw big fletched 9 oz darts 60 yards. Light darts with lessdrag will go lots farther. Craig Ratzat did a knapping class up hearlast week....

Took Tom's atlatl out with a heavy 6 ft. 2 feathered ash dart yesterday. I was able to consistantly get 65-69 yards. But my accuracy up close was very random. One shot hitting the pine cone and the...

You guys are going to murder your elbows with all that distance throwing! LOL...I stick to close-up accuracy kind of shooting, as I imagine a hunting situation to be. I've thrown a few times for...

The distance throwing doesn't bother me much, but then again I'm young. Fiddler I was thinking about what you said, about the 205 yard throw, and thinking that its a possibility, with a very light...
