Saratoga, 40 miles away from Rawlins, is where the modern use of the atlatl originated back in 1980. Rod Laird, pictured below, was officially recognized as the Grandfather of the Atlatl by the World Atlatl Association.
I will be telling his story this weekend.
Also included are photos from the Wyoming Atlatl & Social Club throw in Cheyenne with Russell Richard and his gang.
