If you've ever used both, it it easy to understand. A bow is much easier to become competent with, is easier to transport, has more power, and can be foired on the run, or from horseback. Atlatls take quite a bit of practice to be good with. So do bows, but no as much. I think the main factors were power, and range. An arrow flies much farther and faster than an atlatl dart. In fact, bows were the most powerful and deadly projectile weapon available until the advent of effective firearms. They are still a force to be reckoned with, in the right hands....

What type of weapons do Native Americans use?
The term "native Americans" refers to all the indigenous peoples of the North, Central and South American continents, not just the USA, and to a time-span of perhaps 20,000 years - naturally technology changed over such a long period.Taking all of those indigenous or aboriginal people together, weapons included the atlatl (spear-thrower or dart-thrower), sling (NOT slingshot), blowgun, bows of many different forms, arrows, spears, knives, war clubs and axes.Stone flakes or points were initially used but these were quickly replaced by metal points soon after contact with Europeans.Blowguns are mainly a South American weapon, but some tribes in the south-west USA and in central America also used them.Bows ranged from very simple "self" bows (made of a single piece of wood) to elaborate composite bows using many different materials and from the very short bows of the Plains to the enormous 9-foot bows of the Wai Wai and other South American tribes.The atlatl was used in North America until the bow was developed, but it continued in use in Central America until after European contact.
