Hi all! I was wondering, do we have a set standard for atlatl points? I ask because I have been using 23/64" points - the largest field points I can find, and am not happy with them. Every time I hit a target, or even sometimes, the ground, I lose a point. The darts I have are all 1/2" in diameter, and I don't have the ability to taper the atlatl shaft down enough for the 23/64" points to have any decent surface contact with the shaft.<BR>
3RiversArchery has many types of points, including a long bodkin-shaped point which could accomodate the wood shafts I have. I'm tempted to buy some, and see how they work. But I don't know if there's anything ruling against them regarding the atlatl. I know they're not legal for regular arrow shafts.<BR>
<BR>
Also, I'm looking to try making new darts from bamboo, and have been searching for something affordable and SCA legal to use as points. so far, I've found some metal forged arrow-head points from 3Rivers, but again, the question of them being legal or not arises.<BR>
<BR>
And ideas, suggestions or just basics thoughts on this subject would be greatly appreciated.<BR>
