In this class you will learn about how to make and use the bow and arrow and the atlatl; two very popular and effective primitive hunting tools. We will talk about when these tools were first used and their relevance to human history. We will then talk about how to make these tools from scratch, whether you're making one for the fun of it at home or if you're in a wilderness survival situation. Afterwards, we will talk about proper technique and training exercises. The class will consist of slideshows, demonstrations, and class discussions. I encourage students to ask questions during and after class (feel free to contact me!)
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to make and use their own atlatl/bow.
