Michigan Flintknappers.

Also, the Michigan Atlatl Association holds a tournament at noon to test members' skills with the prehistoric spear thrower, and the Chelsea Rod & Gun Club 3-D archery course is open to archers for a $9 fee. 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Chelsea Rod & Gun Club, 7103 Lingane Rd. (south off Waterloo Rd., west of Chelsea). Free. (810) 231-2314.
