Developed in Europe for more than 30 000 years and by the Native North-Americans tribes 12 000 years ago, the atlatl is supposed to be the first true "weapon system" consisting of a projectile (the dart) and a launching device (the atlatl). ## Composants -This weapon consists of a lauching device of $2ft$ long with a handgrip one end and a "spur" (which is used to fix the dart) at the another end... + +This weapon consists of a lauching device of 2$ft$ long with a handgrip one end and a "spur" (which is used to fix the dart) at the another end and a projectile. + +## Technical aspect + +The motion used for an atlatl is somehow similar to that of an overhand baseball pitcher. The thrower holds the atlatl handgrip in the palm of his hand and pinches the dart shaft with her fingers. Then, she flings the dart forward allowing it to slip out of her fingers as it flies towards the target. As the dart flies, the snap of the wrist at the end imparts much of the velocity. The technology of an atlatl is that of a system of levers, which together combine and increase the force of the human overhand throw. # Sources [The Atlatl and Dart - An Ancient Hunting Weapon](https://www.hollowtop.com/atlatlbob.htm) @@ -15,3 +27,5 @@ This weapon consists of a lauching device of $2ft$ long with a handgrip one end [Ancient Atlatl](https://github.com/FeedAFish/Projet-4MA/blob/ed1ef4cddd5d8934fc1c188de7a6a1ff028c5497/Atlatl.png) [Atlatl Throwing Description](https://github.com/FeedAFish/Projet-4MA/blob/ed1ef4cddd5d8934fc1c188de7a6a1ff028c5497/throwingatlatl.png) + +[Atlatl Technique](https://www.thoughtco.com/what-is-an-atlatl-169989) \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/Draft.pdf b/Draft.pdf index d9c5ef8..1439653 100644 Binary files a/Draft.pdf and b/Draft.pdf differ diff --git a/Image/throw.png b/Image/throw.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..9ddde9b Binary files /dev/null and b/Image/throw.png differ
