Atlatl gatherings are great fun! You don't have to be an expert to enjoy this fascinating and ancient weapon. These events are a wonderful place to meet new friends who share the same interests as you. Other primitive skills are commonplace at atlatl events, such as flintknapping, fire making, primitive archery and much more! Come to a contest near you! Don't have one near you? We can help you put one on! Just let us know.
