How to throw with a Basketmaker atlatl

[@larrycrane9504]

your the only other person i ever seen toss like that. the other being me. lol i came up with the same idea way back looking at basketweaver type atlatls and how the finger loops were on them. directly across from one another.most others use a thumb and first finger way of tossing. but the loops would have to be offset to one another for that to fit a hand correctly.

Another good video by AR atlatl. Why do you place the spur so far from the end of the stick?

Hey man, I've made a basketmaker Atlatl and dowel darts with success in penetrating the target a few times maybe 4/10 shots penetrated the target while the rest just bounces off with no energy in the dart. Would you have any troubleshooting info for what I might be doing wrong? I know the gear isn't the problem as I've impaled the target all the way through but only once, I've never been able to replicate the shot.
