It is a weapon predating the bow and arrow. Used worldwide for thousands of years, it proved an effective weapon. A stick with a hook on the end to hold the dart/spear, it increased the distance, speed, and force of the dart/spear. The goal of World Atlatl Day is to increase awareness and appreciation of this ancient technology and have as many people throw an atlatl on a single day as possible. S.A.L.T. is a local Arizona group whose mission is to teach, share, learn, and practice the skills that allowed ancient people to not only survive but to thrive in their respective environments. This free event is open to the public and will feature the local primitive skills group, S.A.L.T. (Study of Ancient Lifeways and Technologies), who will be conducting an atlatl demonstration. Pre-registration is not required, and no experience is needed to join the demonstration.
