Finally!!! Someone covers all the mistakes you shouldn't make and the ones everyone does when first learning to throw. I had to learn all these the hard way, so much respect for this video and what he's accomplished in his hunting practice.
I have watched many different videos on building and throwing. They are all grade school level trainings.
Yours is college level 101, 102, 103....
Great teaching techniques! I will watch many times and I'll be ordering your books too.
Thank you, I greatly appreciate that
Your def the only one to watch concerning the atlatil
Your videos and progression just get more and more refined as you do this.
This is very informative thanks for teaching
Very good info Ryan, my baseball coach told us, no matter the pitch follow through boys,FOLLOW THROUGH.
Thanks Ryan for this great lesson. I've always been fascinated by the atlatal but never could throw one due to my back injuries.
Great video on the atlatl! I’m glad you touched on using only forward momentum for throw stability. Super important.
I'm a new Knapper and found a cheat! Find a old magnifying glass and it's really easy to knap. Love the obsidian I bought from Ryan. Love the channel
I was very blessed to grow up with a father who started me on traditional archery at 4. So, I got to grow up using traditional projectile weapons . I also grew up playing baseball. Throw it like a baseball. Get a ball and glove. Play catch with your kids, grandkids. The motion and the Instinct for Aiming will never leave you.
Thanks Ryan. i appreciate this video.
Thank you for sharing!
Helpful, thanks bud
That was excellent Ryan. I noticed the shape of your atlatl has evolved. I’m interested in why.
I noticed that. They now have the leaf like look of a woomera, though narrower.
Perhaps he created the wider groove to make it easier to set the dart's divot onto the spur?
I've had an idea recently and want to share it.
Bamboo barbs on dart tips, hoping that they'll flex as the dart penetrates and slightly expand back to shape once in the animal..... Though, this may just be wishful thinking
...as always...SOUND advice!!!😀
This prolific uploader rarely... misses the mark, lol
thanks
I think iv found another past time thaf not only is fun but also can put food on the table. Idk if this relates to this type of gear. But I throw knives and even when I throw a football or anything really. If I take the time and do a windup lock and throw or anything other than look and throw I will 9 times out of 10 miss. As long as I look lock and throw, I'm very accurate through out my power range. From a toss to a baseball fastball throw with a ball or my knives. Now I'll admit muscle memory is also a big factor in this as well. My release is the same my motion back to lock is the same. Now when I say lock. There is no pause between lock and the start of the forward motion. Any hesitation in this will also cause me to be off target, but only a few inches. I can get 6 out of 6 knives inside a paper plate and 3 or 4 of those inside a hands breadth and I'm working on getting 6 of 6 inside that hands breadth. It may sound silly but if I repeat something through the motion start to release and follow through which as in his throw Is ever so important to follow through. I played golf and so much of the most accurate golf swing also is due to muscle memory from start to follow through as well as when I shoot my bow amd arrow. I have a feeling each person must follow his rules of the throw but they must work within the limits of their body. Allowing their body to find that rhythm and posture to find that sweet spot that will make their throws deadly accurate.
👌
Bro just hit a can with one of humanitys first weapons like nothing.
Meanwhile, americans are scampering for AR 15's that will eventually run out of ammo
Did you ever try to improvise a Composite-Bow?
👍
How long would you make an atlatl for a 10 ft spear? I saw that it was very long but could you give the length? Also, would you say that you notice significantly more penetration in a long spear vs short spear without foreshaft?
What's the energy delivery difference between that atlatl and a similar era longbow?
I've gotta know what happened to the buffalo that just walked casually afterward. Did you leave him injured or have to finish the job off camera?
Anyway we can get a video on making arrows and atlatl darts out of wood that’s not bamboo or river cane?
I have some of those videos out there, but I may make a more concise one. here's one to get you started. ruclips.net/video/RI0RXThvzIo/видео.htmlsi=Wr0gduCVAmKCOq0X and I also have this one. ruclips.net/video/C2W6VvUzZt0/видео.htmlsi=fIurPQ5_ZZUWal5c
Is there a reference point for aiming or is it purely instinctive?
It's like throwing a baseball and then making adjustments for your particular setup. But the expert will tell you better.
@@Stratos.2 thank you
While throwing you can feel the balance of the spear through the Atlatl. Focus on the target and with practice you can feel where you’re gonna hit.
Both i believe !!!
Centermass, through and beyond the target... That usually helps a bit.
Yards? What is the translation?
Good Lord Man, throw it already.
Now show us how to build one
This is a real hunting, never was interested in hunting with firearms ! You need practice much more and you need to make your own weapon!
Allyour videos are fascinating. After watching your texas university throw on a bison my mind couldnt wrap along the how. Was raised with a recurve, i couldnt ( as a kid) make that thing work att all. Couldnt rollerskate either.🦬🦬🐎
