Ever used an atlatl? In case you don’t know, an atlatl was a tool used before the bow and arrow to throw spears. During our stay at McKinney Falls State Park, the park had an atlatl throwing program. When Ma and I heard of it, we went straight to it. After learning the basics, we began throwing. In the beginning, our spears didn’t go far, and they were everywhere. After a while, we got pretty good. Ma hit the fake deer about three times, and I hit twice. The first time, it nicked the top of the deer’s butt, and the second one hit right in the middle. Today, my arm is pretty sore.
