The Atlatl: Release Your Inner Cro-Magnon

Discover how to make and use the guided missile of the Ancients!

The atlatl is a tool used to throw light, flexible spears (known as darts) with surprising strength and accuracy. Predating the bow and arrow by thousands of years, this seemingly simple tool is a complex system involving weight, balance, flexing, and stored energy.

As an exhibit designer for a natural history museum most of my time is spent behind a computer. What I really want to be doing is banging rocks together.
