This is the place where you can brag on what the "White Elephant" dropped off at your place.

Also, it never hurts to say thanks.

I want to thank everyone who is participating.

Hickrylb, glad you like it. My hopes were if I put enough items in there you would find something of use. Hope you have a big yard, once you get used to throwing the Atlatl darts you can get them sailing out there 60 to 70 yds. One thing I suggest if you've never thrown is google "throwing atlatl" there is some instructional vids out there. Thanks, Dave
