Bolas Primitive Hunting weapon! Crafting and throwing tips!
« on: January 14, 2023, 10:34:01 am »
The Bolas or Boleadoras is a primitive survival tool used to entangle animals.  I made a video showing a number of construction and throwing techniques that made the Bola a really effective improvised hunting weapon for me.

Some years ago at the Primitive Archer Invitational Black Hills Turkey Camp and Overeating Extravaganza, we fooled around with a bolo made with caribou horn pieces and homemade cordage. Poor Primitive Tim decided to volunteer to be the victim.
