[Archers] ATLatl discussion and rules completion

[deedee Mail]

Janyn,

Without too much digging, I thought the earlier discussions had indicated no
timed end.  From what I have experienced and seen (especially at the 'new'
atlatl range at Pennsic this year), timed ends could not only be messy, but 
possibly dangerous.  AtlAtls do have more of a chance of misfire when 
rushed.

As a side note for AtlAtls, if anyone has friends in other kingdoms, keep 
pushing for its inclusion under archery, rather than thrown weapons
(despite its inclusion with TW in the ikac type department)
We have been very welcoming of its inclusion on the archery side, but 
others still need that push. :)

I have seen many who are decent with Atlatl throw them 40 yards or so and look how hard 40 yards is for most archers.
