Back to Michigan Atlatl Association Written on 14-Oct-2008 by JimGilliganWell, the Tour de Livingston was a smash success. I spent lots of time over the past few months helping to organize the event and was rewarded with a 100 mile bike ride on the prettiest day this fall!
On to the Fall Event, aka Tannu Tuva Memorial Fall Fling. What ever happened to Tannu Tuva?
The event will be held at my house located at 7273 Hamburg Rd., Brighton on Saturday, November 1 from noon until 5 p.m.
Bring a dish to pass. Kylie has a severe nut allergy. Please make sure your dish does not contain nuts or nut byproducts. TwinFawns has set up a forum topic here to coordinate who's bringing what. Thanks, TwinFawns! Please RSVP via the poll to the right of this post so we know how many to expect.
We will have an official ISAC at 2 plus a few other targets will be set up. Bring your atlatls and your bows.
There will be a campfire and a knapping pit. The knapping pit will be under cover if the weather is inclement. The Brighton State Recreation Area is across the street with 5000 acres of fields, forests, streams and lakes for those who want to do some exploring by foot, bike, or boat.
While we are all gathered I want to take care of some club business: I want to have a discussion about the future of the MAA. And I want to see how much interest there is in the idea of hosting the World Atlatl Association Annual Meeting at the Chelsea Rod & Gun Club next July.
I had also hoped to set up a dart making workshop so we could build more darts for the club, but I don't think I'll be able to get that together. The club darts are in pitiful condition.
If we run out of things to do, we can practice our throat singing:

No dart making party my footie, I'm going to bring a bunch of bamboo and feathers and encourage everyone to bring some dart making material. We can carve points out of wood or whatever and I propose a game, a race to build a dart and score a ten on an ISAC target, first one to centerpunch it with a new dart wins. Wins what? I dunno, I'll think of something. Who's up for some hot-blooded competition?

I have some turkey feathers for fletching. I also will bring a Tannu Tuva Coiled Panther emblem. It is made out of 999 fine silver made by an internationally renowned silversmith. This can be used as a prize for one of the events.
