The Nanticoke Atlatl was inspired by the classic Southwestern atlatl with a double leather looped keeper strap. It has a knuckled handgrip for better control and a tropical hardwood button tine inserted and cemented into the head of the atlatl. We use certain kinds of tropical hardwoods such as Lignum Vitae and Argentine Ebony that are extremely hard which contain a waxy resin that acts as a lubricant against the knock dimple. All these features are assembled on a shaft of fine hardwood specially chosen for grain and strength, then the entire length of the shaft is laced with artificial sinew for even more strength, its sound reducing characteristics and added esthetic appeal. The Nanticoke is an unbeatable combination of speed, stability and durability. This moderately yet attractively designed atlatl is a joy to shoot. Used for both target shooting and hunting this outstanding atlatl has scored high in the ISAC contests over the last few years. A best seller, there are probably more Nanticokes carried in the forests and fields of North America than any other atlatl made. Economical, because of its simple design, this atlatl nonetheless meets the standards of craftsmanship of our premium atlatl, making it a good value.

We have three versions of the Nanticoke- fully laced, our most expensive model because of the extra workmanship required; the unlaced version, this Nanticoke sports a keeper strap but is not laced the entire shaft and our simple version, no lacing or leather strap.
