Atlatl

An atlatl is a traditional tool used to throw darts or spears with greater force and distance than by hand alone. It consists of a staff or leverage device with a notch at one end to hold the projectile. By using an atlatl, a person can harness their body’s motion more effectively, resulting in improved accuracy and velocity. This technology dates back to prehistoric times and was widely used by various cultures for hunting and warfare. The atlatl represents an important advancement in the evolution of human weaponry and is still used today in some recreational and archaeological contexts.
