Alright so i need to make a 6ft long dowel rod type thing. It needs a slight taper, And needs to be strong enough to be an atlatl dart. I only have a table saw, band saw, portable belt sander and can buy sandpaper strips. Please help. I need to taper it becasue i need the shape of the dart like that. Any methods to do that will be amazing.

You're going to need a hand plane or block plane. Crappy ones are cheap and should be available at local hardware stores. The shooting board you can make with your table saw and a 2x4.

taper is easy with bandsaw, just build a shooting board for it.
make a c frame of wood to hold the dart, with holes drilled on each side slightly offset to create the taper.
mount belt sander upside down in wood frame. run dart across it, turning slightly with each pass, until it has a uniform taper. then hand sand smooth
