The picture below was taken at Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada.  Leni, seated, was a founder of the World Atlatl Association over 15 years ago and was President for a number of those years.  She was the first woman in an atlatl competition and probably the first woman to throw with an atlatl in thousands of years.
