The Catatonk Hunter Atlatl is an ergonomically engineered atlatl designed around the particular needs of the atlatl hunter, even though its use is certainly not limited to atlatl hunters. We have paid close attention to dart placement relative to the handgrip so that the atlatlist would have maximum power without losing control We have chosen the hammer grip design over the paddle grip basically because the human hand transfers power more effectively with the hammer grip. We have the dart up and away from the atlatl shaft to keep the fletching from conflicting with the shaft. This allows the dart to be placed on the atlatl in exactly the right rotation, which is important for consistent shots. The rear riser is designed with a loading channel to make it easier to get another dart loaded quickly and efficiently in spite of movement or excitement. We adjusted the flex of the atlatl shaft to be moderate so that the atlatlist doesn't lose any control without taking away the smoothness of the shot. Atlatls that tend to favor one side or the other when shot are difficult to control. One needs only to handle a Catatonk Hunter to appreciate the care and craftsmanship used in constructing them. The design is a joy to behold and the balance is superb. Thunderbird Atlatl Darts are made from the finest ash lumber available, chosen for grain and straightness. They have been improved on for over a decade, and are the finest wooden darts on the market today. Six foot darts are a great average darts for most people using atlatls. They are more accurate than five foot darts and can be handled by most people.
