Lincoln County residents took a step back in time at our hands-on, high-energy Atlatl Workshop — and it was a blast (from the past)!
The day kicked off with atlatl expert Angelo Robledo, who wowed the crowd with a deep dive into the history and global use of these ancient hunting tools. He even showed off his impressive flintknapping skills, crafting stone points.
Next, participants got crafty — literally — building their own atlatl darts using replica projectile points, sinew, and turkey feathers. Some folks discovered the skill required to securely attach points and feathers.
The grand finale? Everyone took to the field to launch darts with various styles of atlatls. With each throw, you could hear the mix of laughter and surprise.
Running from 10am to 2pm, the workshop was educational, hands-on, and a whole lot of fun. Let’s just say: the atlatls weren’t the only things flying — time did too!
