A couple of points:<br>
Is three feet enough? Former javelin throwers may want more.
Penalty for early/late throw?<br>
How many throwers rushing the line at one time? How many targets at
one time? There could be a lot of movement going on.<br>
I wonder if we could learn something from the thrown missileers?<br>

<div>Siegfried of the sore arm had a good point that the final
step for atlatlist be that they throw while straddling the line.
This would accommodate those that do the hop, skip and jump to
throw. And, as Siegfried of the sore arm pointed out an atlatl
"weapon" does not "mis-fire" until the arm is actually moving
forward at which point they should be straddling the line.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Just a thought. Myself, like many
atlatlist step into our shot. Should the perhaps the
atlatl " line" be a zone I which the atlatlist must
remain for the throw. I.e. a three foot zone defined by
two lines.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Good evening my Brothers and
Sisters of the Bow (and now the Atlatl.) Today again I
saw the fruits of our labor with Atlatl and the rules
we have set in place. I am convinced we did the right
thing and are on the correct course with our thinking.
Scores are starting to show up and they are right in
line with where I expected them to be. Seeing even our
seasoned throwers tells me that our course and scoring
are set correctly, again we will give this a year to
play out as we discussed. Also I have been asked by a
few people so I thought I would discuss the topic
here. There is no set rule governing the requirements
for darts. There is no length requirement or specifics
for materials or construction. All I would ask is that
you participate with the “spirit of the game” in mind
and we participate with honor and what we know of the
equipment in mind. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The other thing I just wanted to
reiterate to all of our marshal’s is to please be
diligent with running the line. I witnessed today a
few occasions where a thrower would throw the dart and
in the process of their shot, move up a bit and then
throw again each time moving up into the range. I
think I was doing the same thing when I threw. I just
want to make sure the lines are kept equally and our
throwers are kept safe, so please pay extra attention
to the line while we all gain experience with this
addition to our game. I want to thank you all again
for the conversations, the suggestions and to all of
you who took your own time to help setup practice
ranges so people could try what we were preposing
prior to the final decision.<o:p></o:p></p>
