Spear Thrower

A spear thrower, also known as an atlatl, is a tool that helps improve the efficiency of throwing a spear. It’s a stick with a hook or notch on the end where the spear’s tail rests. By using the spear thrower, a person can generate more force and leverage, allowing for longer throws and increased accuracy. The device essentially acts as an extension of the arm, giving the thrower better control and power. Spear throwers have been used by various cultures throughout history and are valued for their role in hunting and sport.
