Wyalusing Atlatl

Описание: Bob Berg of Thunderbird Atlatl demonstrates the Wyalusing Atlatl.

The Wyalusing atlatl is easy to use. It is designed for accuracy and consistency. Its features include a bone or antler tine, clean sculptured lines, and a dart cradle at both ends of the weapon. It is available in Ash, Maple, Hickory, Cherry, Walnut, and Osage Orange, finished in rubbed oil. The tine is artfully tied to the head with simulated sinew. This atlatl allows the atlatlist to hold the dart on the cradle the same way each and every shot. The same motions can then be repeated for increased accuracy. This design is especially well adapted to the hunter, since it can be held loaded and ready even for hours if necessary without causing fatigue or cramping of the hands. This is a good all around atlatl for the beginner as well as the advanced hunter or target shooter.

History
The Wyalusing was designed by Bob Berg, and refined after years of extensive experimentation and testing on the atlatl range and during time spent hunting. Eventually a functional yet asthetlicaly pleasing hunting atlatl emerged, which combined with unequaled craftsmanship and performance has made the Wyalusing one of the most sought after atlatls on the market today. This sleek, ergonomicaly designed atlatl hides speed and smoothness in its uniquely beautiful design. One only has to cast a dart to appreciate its true power and stability. Made and distributed since 1993 this reliable atlatl has been a best seller among premium atlatls.

The Wyalusing is made from the finest hardwood chosen for grain, texture, and strength. Blanks are rough sawn and stored in a dry atmosphere until stresses in the wood have released themselves. From seasoned blanks the finished atlatls are handcrafted to meet stringent specifications. Each atlatl is then carefully sanded and finished with a hand rubbed tung oil finish. The spurs are expertly carved and polished from several different materials including but not limited to bone, antler, or horn. Whatever the material, they are always of the highest quality. No two are ever the same giving each atlatl its own personality.

A veteran hunter, the Wyalusing atlatl has been used to take deer, bear, wild boar and fish. This design was inspired by Mayan Warriors holding atlatls in a picture depicted on temple walls that had been unearthed in the Yucatan Peninsula.
