In 2000, Professor Colin Betts introduced the hobby of
spearthrowing to Luther College. Ever since, making and using
spearthrowers, or atlatls, has been a popular hobby for Luther students
and faculty. Luther College hosts two annual events, Opochtli's
Challenge and the Decorah Open, and travels to a third event at
Grinnell each spring. Many students have made their own atlatls and
darts, and a few students have even researched the physics and function
of the atlatl.
