Experience the thrill of learning to use the atlatl, an ancient spear-throwing tool that predates the bow and arrow. The history and secrets of this ice-age invention will be revealed by Gary Nolf, member of the World Atlatl Association and atlatl maker. He will bring examples of both traditional-style and modern atlatls and darts. Nolf is a nationally acclaimed competitor in sanctioned atlatl contests and has appeared on the David Letterman Show. Bring your own atlatl and dart or use one of ours, and learn to throw it like a pro! Adults and children ages 8 and up. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
