BPS Atlatls
All BPS custom and production line Atlatls are made from selected
straight grain hard maple
shafts and feature our exclusive, fully adjustable hand grip
design. Every handle is wrapped with top-quality leather, the same
used for baseball mitts, and fitted with individually adjustable split
leather finger loops. This design guarantees a sure and comfortable
grip, perfectly accenting the beauty of the polished and oiled maple
shaft.
Our weighted Atlatls are precisely flexed and tuned to perfection
for use with our Penetrator Aluminum Darts. This technology, applied
thousands of years ago by ancient Native Americans, allowed Atlatls to
store and release spring energy in phase with the spring energy stored
and released by the Dart. When tuned by the weight the amount and rate
at which the Atlatl stores and releases
energy is precisely matched to that of the Dart. This precise matching
of energies generates smooth and powerful launches in excess of 100
mph, distances in excess of 150 yards and accuracy unmatched by any
other Atlatl and Dart System.
All production Atlatls feature a polished Antler spur and beeswaxed
artificial sinew bindings throughout for a durable and authentic
look. BPS has been producing the finest Atlatl systems in the world,
engineered to exacting standards, since 1984.
