Learning how to use an atlatl and using it spear throw would be a good hobby, can anyone give me some pointers for groups and equipment.

This may come off as a dumb question, but would javelin be a better search term?
Depends what you’re looking for. Atlatls use a “spear thrower” to throw the spear. This is inherently different from spears and javelins, and in fact uses some of the mechanics of how arrows work to gain effectiveness.
There are a few places online where you can learn more, and there are a couple places in America where you can buy sets for personal use. Seeing someone hunt a wild pig with one of those is pretty impressive.
