2009 Antique Firearms and Indian Artifact Show

A Big THANK YOU to everyone who set up a table or helped out in any way at the Show.

The weather was fantastic and turn out was excellent with many people stopping by to visit the 48 exhibitors with over 90 tables of antique firearms and Indian artifacts or to throw the atlatl at the competition. One couple drove 4 hours to get here just for the show.

A complete financial report will be available at the September chapter meeting.

Plans are already underway for 2010






2009 ATLATL EVENT

World Atlatl Association and International Atlatl Society sanctioned competition. results.

Through the eons of prehistory, primitive people from all over the world developed hundreds of unique weapons for hunting game. Among all the technologies invented the atlatl and dart was the first true weapons system, consisting of both a projectile and launching device. The atlatl, essentially a spear-thrower, was developed in Europe more than 30,000 years ago, and in North America about 12,000 years ago. By comparison, the bow and arrow first appeared here only 2,000 years ago.

Today there is a resurging interest in atlatl for sport. This sport took place at the Jefferson County Fair Grounds in Brookville Pa., on August 22 nd.. 2009. There was competition in ISAC (International Standard Accuracy Contest) and IAS (International Atlatl Society). These were both world sanctioned throws. More than 135 new people had the opportunity of throwing the dart with the atlatl. One highlight of the event was chapter member Bernie Kostic with a first time score of 60 with his whittled out atlatl. :
