Valley of Fire atlatl event 2014

The annual atlatl event at the Valley of Fire in Nevada, filmed in high speed and GoPro. The atlatl is the dart throwing weapon of prehistoric hunters around the world, and is represented in ancient petroglyphs at the park. The final scenes are of the Moche Toss, a recreation of an ancient sport/ceremony in what is modern Peru. Visit us at waa.basketmaker...

[@DaHuntsman1]

one trick to throwing a atlatl is to flick your wrist while doing it, it gives the dart more power and also makes it more accurate. =)

Impressive I have read that the Teutonic Knights were terrified of atlatls because they could punch straight through armor
