NEW MAYOR WORLD ATLATL DAY
Join Pueblo Grande Museum and local primitive skills group SALT in celebrating World Atlatl Day with an atlatl demonstration and accuracy contest. The atlatl is a weapon predating the bow and arrow. Used worldwide for thousands of years, it’s a stick with a hook on the end to hold the dart or spear which increases the distance, speed and force of the projectile.
The World Atlatl Association was started in 1987 with the purpose of promoting the atlatl and dart. They strive to teach and share knowledge of the atlatl and promote interest and competition. They currently have members worldwide and promote accuracy competitions.
SALT (Study of Ancient Lifeways and Technologies) is a local group whose mission is to teach, share, learn and practice the skills that allowed ancient people to not only survive but to thrive in their respective environments.
The museum will be offering free admission and visitors can try throwing darts using the atlatl and even join in the accuracy competition.
