The Osceola is a bamboo composite atlatl inspired by the construction of Japanese bows. Using techniques gleaned from master bowyer Jaap Koppedrayer, Bob Beg has created an atlatl that uses technology thousands of years old to make an atlatl that uses one of the fastest spring release systems known to man. Not only does this composite work well but it also looks great. Highly polished antler, wood and bamboo are a visual treat. The wooden part of the handle is made from exotic hardwood or curly domestic wood. The Osceola comes with an atlatl weight attached. The atlatl weight is made from colorful stone, polished using the same methods jewelers use to polish precious and semi-precious stones.
