Atlatl Deer Hunting
I've always wanted to learn how to hunt deer using atlatl. Well, I'm finally going to give it a try. I bought a set at the Tulsa gun show and I'm looking forward to practicing until I'm good enough to chuck one at a deer.
Has anyone else tried it? Any tips?

When they were making a push to make using them legal in PA a bunch of them showed up to put on a demonstration. They didn't do themselves any good and the push for legalization failed in PA. There is a reason the bow and arrow became the weapon of choice.

I think the deer would have to be looking away from you to kill one cleanly with the arm motion required to launch it.
It was the preferred weapon to kill mammoth, because they were slow and couldn't jump quick like a deer. Also you needed the additional mass to penetrate on a large beast.
