April 1

21st Annual World Atlatl Association Contest
Persistence Hunter’s Challenge
Valley of Fire, Nevada
Registration will start at 7 a.m.; race will begin at 8 a.m.
Persistence hunting is a hunting technique in which hunters use a combination of running and tracking to pursue prey to the point of exhaustion. While humans can sweat to reduce body heat, their quadruped prey would need to slow from a gallop to pant. Among primates, endurance running is only seen in humans, and persistence hunting is thought to have been one of the earliest forms of human hunting, having evolved 2 million years ago.
Join competitors from around the world to test your endurance in pursing your prey. Competitors will run either a 1mile fun run, 5k (3.1 miles), or a Half Marathon (13 miles) trail route. Immediately after the run is completed competitors will compete in a shoot out to test their skills in ancient hunting tactics. Final scores will include points for the timed run and points for the shoot out. Medals will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in all three distances. Min. 5 participants in each distance. Participants must sign up by calling (702) 397-2088 or e-mailing vofranger2@mvdsl.com no later than 4:30pm March 21, 2012
Contact Devin Pettigrew at dpettig08@gmail.com or (479)936-1597 or see www.basketmakeratlatl.com
