Welcome to the World of Atlatls! Welcome to the Thunderbird Atlatl Catalog! We hope it answers some of your atlatl questions and gives you a good look at the different types of atlatls and dart systems we have available!

Thunderbird Atlatl is a family owned and operated business located in Candor, New York, about 20 miles south of Itha-ca, New York. Our business officially began in 1994 although founder and atlatl designer Bob Berg has been involved in designing atlatls and darts since the late 1980s. Every member of the family has had their part in making Thunderbird At-latl a success.

Bob and Cheryll Berg, owners of Thunderbird Atlatl, invite you to visit our shop and display area if you are ever in the Finger Lakes area of New York State. Please call ahead to make sure the shop is open as we might be at a show. We are looking forward to meeting you! Our toll-free number is: 1-800-836-4520.

We are always coming up with new ideas and products. We offer a variety of darts made from wood and cane. Our darts are tested and perfected for all uses from target shooting to hunting and fishing. Our seven-foot tapered darts are extreme-ly popular and have been developed from years of experimentation in our shop. Our atlatl harpoon is another popular product for those interested in fishing. Our harpoons have been tested in the ocean waters in Florida, Maine and Connecti-cut with excellent results. We have had our equipment tried successfully by atlatl en-thusiasts on the West Coast too.

History of the Atlatl in America

If a twelve inch ruler was used to rep-resent a time line and each inch of it equaled a thousand years of American history and pre-history, the atlatl would probably appear at the first or second inch and begin to disappear around eleven inches when the bow and arrow came into general use in America. Atlatls were never totally abandoned by the Inuit of the Arctic and the people of the Amazon region. Used for thousands of years to hunt game by Native Americans and cultures throughout the world, the atlatl allowed the hunter to cast darts at speeds and with accuracy not possible with hand held spears.

The atlatl was gradually replaced by the bow and arrow starting about a thousand years ago but was still in use by the Aztecs at the time of the Conquistadors. Early 20th century photos show the Inuit people still using them for harpooning.

The word "atlatl" comes from the Nahuatl language which was used by the Aztecs. Other words for the device include "woomera" from the Australian continent, "estolica" in Spanish, "propulseur" in French, and "speerschleuder" in German. Atlatls have been found on every continent except for Antarctica. Atlatls are now gaining popularity for recreation and hunting. The atlatl is an in-strument that has recently been pulled out of the box of ancient tools and has begun a new evolution. Flintknapping has taken a similar turn too. In flintknapping, a modern art form has taken root in an ancient craft, and moved forward to conquer new ground; in an ever-expanding enlighten-ment of the human spirit.The atlatl less than 20 years ago was relegated to the backyards of college professors and perhaps a couple of college quads at a few university towns where archaeology teachers and students experi-mented with these fascinating devices. Knowledge of it squirted out through a few cracks and got into the general public and a new sport was born. In 1987, a group of en-thusiasts organized the World Atlatl Association (WAA). The association welcomes anyone who is interested in the atlatl. Members receive a quarterly newsletter. For infor-mation, visit the WAA website at: www.worldatlatl.org

The Kanakadea has been developed to fill a market gap and the need for an easy to use atlatl. No fingers are required to control the dart in this new style of atlatl which was inspired by the atlatls made by Ray Strischek and the late Terry Keefer. They both okayed the use of this design element when asked if we could use it for a new atlatl design. It was futher inspired by the handle of the lumber scale that we use to measure   the   amount  of  wood  we’re  purchasing.  These   two  design   ele-­ments combined with the finest hardwood lumber and typical high quality Thunderbird craftsmanship to produce a fine target atlatl. We have two styles of Kanakadeas to choose from-one with a wedge insert and one with a smooth one piece handle. We also produce shorter han-dled versions for the 12 and under set. They are priced the same as the larger models as the workmanship is the same.

Canandaigua Atlatl

The Canandaigua is an atlatl design created for those looking for a paddle grip atlatl. The Canan-daigua uses a paddle grip rather than a hammer grip. In a paddle grip, the wrist is rotated so the palm or the hand faces up in the launching position and faces down to the ground after follow through. This method of grip gives the shooter about three inches more leverage. We decided to de-sign the Canandaigua for our customers who prefer a paddle grip over other grips. Some say the paddle grip atlatl is less traumatic for people with tendonitis and problems in the elbow. Canandaigua With three 6

Catatonk Hunter Atlatl

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. After years of experience using atlatls for hunting, we set about the task of de-signing an atlatl that is both very functional and at the same time very beautiful. 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 ham-mer grip. (Try to pound a nail with a paddle grip hammer.)

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 forward risers allow the atlatlist to hold the loaded dart with the non-dominant hand while waiting for game. Holding the dart in place with the dom-inant hand over long periods of time caused the hand to “freeze” causing a poor release. 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 make this particular atlatl ei-ther out of one piece of wood or use two pieces of wood expertly joined together. We adjust-ed  the  flex  of  the  atlatl  shaft  to  be  moderate  so  that  the  atlatlist  doesn’t  lose  any  control  with-­out  taking  away  the  smoothness  of  the  shot.  Each  atlatl  is  tested  as  it’s  being  built  so  that  the  head of the atlatl remains aligned with the shaft during flexing. Atlatls that tend to favor one side or the other when shot are difficult to control. The Catatonk Hunter will handle the larg-er seven foot diameter darts that are the best for penetration of big game. 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.

The Catatonk Atlatl was designed in response to the demand for a quality flexible atlatl at a reasonable price. Equal in many ways to the pricier Catatonk Hunter, this atlatl has been designed to be produced with less labor, while keeping up the high standards for form and fit of the more costly atlatls in our line.

Hiawatha Atlatl (with loops) The Hiawatha, a close cousin of the Nanticoke, has a classic primitive design. It is well made and very durable. More natural in shape than the Nanticoke, the split shafts are hand scraped and well sanded following the natural flow of the grain. These are available in Hickory, Ash or Osage Orange with a bone or antler tine, natural fiber or leather finger loops, rubbed oil finish and natural fiber lac-ing which holds the antler tine in place and provides added grip at the handle. Some of our pieces are slightly charred and oiled, which would have been a surface treatment well within the grasp of hunter gatherers.

Painted Hiawatha The Painted Hiawatha takes the beauty of the Hiawatha a step further. This model has a primitive feather painted design on the surface. Each one is different and unique, but esthetically pleasing. The painting does not represent any particular culture but is done using vari-ous feathers to achieve the primitive designs, as they might have been done in ancient times. Painted

Nanticoke Atlatl (laced)

The Nanticoke Atlatl was inspired by the classic Southwestern atlatl with a double leather looped keeper strap. It has a knuckled handgrip for better control and a tropical hardwood button spur inserted and cement-ed into the head of the atlatl. We use certain kinds of tropical hardwoods such as Lignum Vitae and Argentine Ebony that are extremely hard. They all contain a waxy resin that acts as a lubricant against the knock dimple. All these features are assembled on a shaft of fine hardwood specially chosen for grain and strength. The en-tire length of the shaft is laced with artificial sinew for even more strength, its sound reducing characteristics, and added esthetic appeal. The Nanticoke is an unbeatable combination of speed, stability and durability. This moderately priced, yet attractively designed atlatl is a joy to shoot. Used for both target shooting and hunting, this outstanding atlatl has scored high in the ISAC contests over the last few years. A best seller, there are probably more Nanticokes carried in the forests and fields of North America than any other atlatl made. Economical, because of its simple design, this atlatl nonetheless meets the standards of craftsmanship of our premium atlatls, making it a good value.

The Osceola is a bamboo, horn and wood composite atlatl inspired by the construction of the Asian horn bow. Using techniques gleaned from master bowyer Jaap Koppedrayer, Bob Berg has created an atlatl that uses tech-nology thousands of years old to make an atlatl that uses one of the fastest spring release systems known to man. Not only does this composite work well but it also looks great. The wooden part of the handle is made from exotic hardwood or curly domestic wood. The Osceola comes with an atlatl weight attached. The atlatl weight is made from colorful stone which is polished using the same methods jewelers use to polish precious and semi-precious stones.

The Otsiningo is an atlatl designed for big game hunting where seven-foot long darts are used. This atlatl features three rests, including a finger rest, tine rest, and forearm rest to carry extra dart length without deflection. It has a bone tine, knuckled grip handle, and atlatl weight which is included. This atlatl is available in Hickory, Walnut, Osage Orange. This atlatl is much like the Wyalusing, but it is designed to carry the weight of long hunting darts with a heavy point, which would normally be flexed by their own weight. Since the dart remains straighter it is easi-er to aim it.

Tioga Atlatl

Balance and form are the best features of the Tioga. The formed grip and integrated index finger dart rest work well together to achieve accuracy and consistency. The cemented bone button tine is reinforced with simulated sinew lacing. This is a good atlatl for hunting as well as target shooting, not to mention warfare. Although not yet field tested for the purpose, we believe this atlatl could be shot in outer space. We would recommend larger fletching on your darts when using the Tioga atlatl in the thin Martian atmosphere.  The  Tioga’s  interestingly  sculptured  design  allows  the  easy  loading  of  darts  while  running  or  walking  which  can  be important during hunting and film shoots. This weapon would make a good sidearm for those opposed to guns, but who need protection from aliens, dragons or home invaders.

Fishing & Hunting with the Atlatl Thunderbird Atlatl is proud of the hunting and fishing equipment we produce. Bob Berg has been hunt-

ing  and  fishing  with  the  atlatl  for  more  than  20  years.    Our  equipment  is  developed  from  Bob’s  own  field  experienc-­es.  Our  hunting  darts  have  proven  themselves  both  through  Bob’s  own  use  and  those  of  our  customers.  Our  atlatls  and hunting darts have taken many wild boar, deer, elk, bear, and other animals. A growing number of states are allowing atlatl hunting and fishing.

Harpoon fishing with the atlatl has also proven to be a fascinating experience. Bob has fished with atlatls and  harpoons  in  Maine,    Kentucky,  New  York,  Connecticut  and  Florida.    Bob’s  close  friend  and  fishing  partner,  the  late Wendell Adams, helped him develop his atlatl harpoon system. We have set up a metal lathe at the shop to help in the manufacture of harpoons. Bob has been able to land fish weighing forty pounds with a basic setup using a Muzzy Point. He and others have fished with atlatls from several different kinds of boats including several ocean going fishing boats.

An interesting kind of atlatl fishing boat they have used successfully is a rig made from two canoes placed side by side creating a pontoon. They attach 2 foot by 4 foot platforms that extend out over the bow and stern with lights attached. The platforms are screwed to the cross members that hold the canoes together. Batteries and or genera-tors are placed together to use as ballast and to serve to operate the lights. Fishing is usually at night with this rig. It’s  often  possible  to  rent  two  canoes  when  you  are  a  long  distance  from  your  home  so  you  don’t  need  to  bring  a  boat  trailer.  Another  advantage of this system is you can put up to six people into the ca-noes, but it works best with four. If you are nterested in learning more about atlatl fishing, give us a call at 800-836-4520 or email Bob at [email protected]

Atlatlists are once again using the atlatl for hunting and fishing.  Many  of  Thunderbird    Atlatl’s  customers  have  used  our equipment to hunt all types of animals including wild boar as shown below. Using an atlatl with a harpoon is a great way to go fishing. Bob Berg of Thunderbird Atlatl (right photo) proves how well a harpoon works with an atlatl.

This is the end of the harpoon dart Thunderbird Atlatl uses on its equipment. See page 15 for pricing.

Wappasening

The Wappasening is a well-designed atlatl with a knuckled handle for good grip that is integrated with a forward dart rest. The Wappasening features a bone button tine cemented into the sinew-reinforced head. This is a good choice for a weighted atlatl. (Check out our assortment for atlatl weights). This atlatl is available in a variety of high quality woods, both exotic and domestic hardwoods. Check our list of hardwoods elsewhere in this catalog. It is finished with rubbed oil. This atlatl is a good choice for the target shooter. The Wappasening is a hybrid, combining elements of design from both the Wyalusing and the Nanticoke. It is built for maximum speed, without giving up any shooting stability. From its long sleek riser to the graceful tip, the Wappasening is an absolute top performer. The Wappasening is easy to use, quiet extremely stable, and a pure joy to shoot. This is an excellent atlatl for the small handed individual.

Optional Y Rest (Add $20.00 for This Option)

The Wappasening can  be  fitted  with  an  optional,  no  finger  “Y”  rest,  which  makes  it  a  breeze  for  the  beginner  to  use.    The  “Y”  rest  can  be  removed or put back in place in seconds, for more or less control of

the release as desired.

The Wyalusing Atlatl is designed for ease of use, accuracy and consistency, featuring a bone or antler tine, clean sculptured lines, and a dart cradle at both ends of the weapon. It is available in various North and South American hardwoods and 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 cra-dle 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. This sleek, ergo-nomically designed atlatl hides speed and balance 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, it is always of the highest quality. No two are ever the same, giving each atlatl its own personality. A veteran hunter, the Wyalusing Atlatl, using our 7 foot ash hunting shafts with Ace broadheads, has been used to take deer, elk, buffalo, bear, wild boar and fish.

Bob Berg straightens a dart shaft. From time to time, wooden darts can become crooked because they are made from natural materi-als. Sometimes they can be just straightened by hand. You can also use heat to straighten darts. Holding the dart shaft near a heat source such as a fire or using a torch, you can heat the wood fibers and stretch them. Once the wood is pliable, you can straighten it easier.

Shipping & Handling (see below).

New York State residents, please add sales tax of 8 percent. Questions? Call us at 1-800-836-4520 or email us at [email protected] Please make checks or money orders payable to Thunderbird Atlatl, PO Box 764, 90 Main Street, Candor, NY 13743. Shipping & Handling Information: Shipping & handling for anything that has darts, dart shafts or dart kits is usually $20 per order because of the length of the darts and the need for them to be protected by the shipping container. Mailing 7 foot darts can sometimes cost over that amount because of balloon charges. If you are ordering just an atlatl, t-shirt or other small item, shipping will vary between $6 to $10. We ship most items through the United States Post Office via priority mail. If you prefer an alternative shipping method, let us know and we will work out the shipping price with you.
