I find these things on the internet & am wondering if any of you folks have tried out the prehistoric version of the Winchester Model 70?

Not since Boy Scouts. What else are summer camps and camp outs for?:D

I've tried them, and as long as you're willing to put in a bit of practice, they can be fairly effective; the main problem I had was with making sure the head of the atlatl didn't slip off the spear shaft during my throwing stroke, but I modified the design slightly to a hook and hole.
