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...

Hasta que por fin veo a personas lanzando decentemente el Atlatl

[@Salanan]

This looks fun. Do you guys make your own or is there an atlatl crafter out there that sells them?

[@davidlindquist3002]

There are one or two people there with atlatl sand darts for sale

[@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. =)

[@raphlvlogs271]

why do they have to be flexible?

Oh, that poor bird! Attacked by a giant herd of sticks flying through the air. :)

[@eruston]

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

Hope you find a deer that will stand still, while you pretend to hunt it. Thanks from St. Paul Minnesota.
