There's something wrong with me if this is the first place I can think of to post this.
I just figured out how to throw an atlatl. Seriously. I always thought you had to balance the spear on the atlatl foot and somehow manage to throw it without the spear falling off.
But it's actually really easy. You put the foot on the end of the spear and pretend it's a hinge - fold it over so that you're holding it parallel to the spear, with one hand. Thumb and forefinger. Then when you throw it, you let go of the spear and hold onto the atlatl. it's just a natural motion but you're throwing it five times harder.
Cannabis. That's how they figured it out too!
