makes sense. do you make your atlatls using stone tools?

Hi Bob.

I was doing some research over the summer, and I came across a picture of an atlatl used (I think) in PNG. It resembled an oar and could be used to paddle in canoes. Any idea of the tribe that made these? Have you ever made one? Are they effective?

Finally, do the "counterweights" used on atlatls make a huge difference? I work with UP material from Central Europe, and we NEVER find them.
