Rewilding Free Skills Series: Archery & Atlatls

Rewild Portland
Park/Trail: 

We would like to invite you to this month's Rewilding Skill Series. The Rewilding Free Skills Series is a class & networking event that happens monthly, that usually occurs (but not always) on the last Saturday of the month. It is a place for social networking where people make new friends and hang out with old friends learning skills to connect us with humanity's ancestral past and more local and sustainable future. We ask for a $5 - $10 suggested donation with no one turned away.

This month's theme is Archery & Atlatls. Most people know what bows and arrows are, but how many people have launched a dart with an atlatl? Before the bow and arrow became popular, for thousands of years humans used the Atlatl, basically a spear-throwing stick. Come to the archery range, shoots some bows and arrows and launch a couple darts with an atlatl. We'll talk about the range of human projectile technology, and give people a chance to try them out. Please bring your own bows and arrows if you have them. We will be able to provide a few for those who do not have them.
