It's a great sport to get into. My son and I throw for fun several times each week in a large field by our house. The last address is of the World Atlatl Association which has over 400 members world wide. Angie was also there in her wheelchair. He is a taxidermist who used a wooden frame, blocks of styrofoam, and can replace the panels in the sides.
Some scientists think the atlatl is responsible for the demise of the wooly mammoth.
