How to Make Wood Atlatl Spears (Darts)

This video will cover all the points needed to craft hardwood atlatl spears. There are many other HuntPrimitive videos dedicated to these individual aspects. This video curates the more important points to help you on your build.
If you love the atlatl and would like to learn and enjoy my book, The Secrets & Science of the Atlatl, you can find it at this link. gillsprimitivearchery.com/pro...

Like the primitive skill topic. If I had space to keep some of this stuff I would put hands on

Made a fletching jig to fletch darts with made it for about ten bucks and scrap wood. Clamp is kinda crude but it works. Can do helical or straight.

I love the splicing for a harder foreshaft, its not easily removable obviously but it does allow me to use coppiced hazel for the bulk of the shaft then a much harder firehardened point, i really like rowan or if i can get it large enough to split down, dogwood, both throughly firehardened and while its hot rub it with some pitch, the ground is wet most of the time by me so it really helps the dart last much longer with the first 15 or so inch being water resistant and hard

Great vid. Would really appreciate a video on troubleshooting river cane arrows. Just a idea.

It's Look like a na'vi Arrow

[@dgriswold93]

What do you think about just putting the end of the foreshaft in your mouth to moisten it and get a nice tight fit into the end of the spear? Usually works for me.
