How to throw an atlatl SPEAR THROWER! Can I hit the target?

This week Ryan Gill (primitive hunting extraordinaire) teaches Clay Hayes how to throw an Atlatl spear thrower. Ryan has been primitive hunting with an atlatl for a while and has taken a number of big game animals with spears. This video breaks down his technique for accurately throwing the darts. How accurate is an atlatl? Well I can say that Ryan is a lot better than I am but he can maintain a 6" group at 8 yards no problem. And he says when he's been practicing a lot that will shrink to about half that size. I know a lot of guys shooting traditional bows that can't do that consistently. We also test how far I can throw the spear by hand vs how far Ryan can trow it with the aid of the atlatl.

Don't forget to subscribe to the channel. We're uploading a new video each week that features one of the following topics: archery, bow hunting, bow building, survival skills, bushcraft, self reliance, primitive skills, primitive bows, hunting, camping, fishing, and a lot more!
