Who remembers this little gem? This was my first atlatl kill. Jim Dussias @mangrovestomountainspodcast filmed the hunt a long time ago. Hunting with the atlatl always seemed somewhat impossible and I remember the feeling I had traveling down to hunt with nothing except the atlatl. I knew if I brought the bow I would end up bow hunting, and if you want to get kills with the atlatl, you gotta hunt with the atlatl. This was a totally free range hog that we spot and stalked in an abandoned bamboo gr

Many people understand the concept of the atlatl. Some are even pretty good at throwing one, especially the modern carbon or dowel-rod versions, or professionally built sets even like the HuntPrimitive RiverCane sets that we sell. However, it is extremely humbling to source your own natural hardwood shafts, straighten them, splice them, size them, drill them with a rock, fletch them, and develop not just one spear, but a set that all fly CLEAN, and of similar weight. Then, make sure they aren't

Some have asked for a slow motion look at my hunting throws for the atlatl. There's certainly a measure of "intent" when throwing for hunting application versus target throwing. Obviously, the faster that the spear arrives, the better. The deeper the spear penetrates... well, you get the idea. | HuntPrimitive / Gill's Primitive Archery

Ryan Gill on Instagram: "This is where it all began with HuntPrimitive putting together significant projects that no one else is doing. 7 years ago we put this project together, building an atlatl with stone tools and effectively and efficiently killing a bison with it. We had no idea at the time that it would snow ball into many more projects, including 3 more bison (and 2 or 3 more to come still!). . It's one thing to draw up pictures of how gear was built and used, or to simply build it to ha
