Principles of an Atlatl
Principles of an Atlatl will instruct you on the history and development of the atlatl, an ancient device used to propel a spear with the force necessary to bring down larger game from a relatively safe distance. You will be challenged to hit a target by changing either the length of the atlatl or the angle of your throw. The figure that is throwing the spear in the game bears no resemblance to the teacher of the ZYS class, no matter what my students tell you. (It seems as though university seniors still have a sense of humor, twisted though it may be!)
