The Ugri people of Northern Finland and Russia use bouncing arrows for hunting ducks. I made some and used them on a flock of rubber ducks with great success. In this video I show you how to make them and show them in use again.

    • Although it's not your intention, that first sentence was a rather rude. I hope you don't mind my bringing this up, but I see this philosophy far too often. 1) It states that Tod isn't getting what he deserves. Not getting what you deserve feels bad. 2) It implies that either people (and/or the algorithm) are fools for not subscribing. That's insulting to the people. 3) It implies that 500k subs isn't an amazing achievement. THAT'S insulting too! 4) It conflates subjective opinions with (ideally) objective justice. This weakens the morals of our culture (and/or is a symptom of weakened morals).

  • I used to work in the USA and one of the guys was first nations. He had some bouncing arrows and about 300 acres with a very large pond in the middle. One evening we were invited to a duck hunt. Beer flowed freely. anyway there must have been 100 ducks on the pond. He takes aim but is a bit too high with the bow. Result? The arrow bounced along the water bouncing in between the ducks. It must have bounced over at least 6. We all fell about laughing and the ducks flew off. He got the nickname chief bouncey after that.

  • The idea is not to bounce the arrows but to aim at the closest duck and if you miss that duck the bouncing may still hit one of the farther ducks. You do not try to skip the arrow into the duck. If you try to skip the arrow into the ducks they will see it coming.

    • I would think that the ducks would not have enough time to react and to get away with one or two bounces. Trying to hit the first one would make more sense in the way that arrow would not have lost as much energy yet as each one of the bounces does drain more energy than traveling through air.

  • I tried something like this with sling stones. I used clay for the projectile and I cut a cross in the front of the slug so that it could grip the ground and bounce back up when the back flips up and around because of inertia. They worked better than any other biconical bullets I've made but they didn't work nearly as well as solid round shot when I want the bouncing effect.

  • Not sure if this has already been mentioned, but I think another argument for these arrowheads being used for birding is that hunters don't need to kill a bird. The arrows don't need to penetrate and bleed the bird, just knock it down so it can be recovered and then butchered. An arrow going through it might be a bad thing even, since the guts become a mess and it could complicate butchering them for consumption.

Bears, wolves, beavers, wild boar, cattle, goats, killer sheep, elk, haggis, confused kangaroos - all gone. Scottish wildcats are virtually extinct. And I have to disagree about hunting being 'an enjoyable pursuit'; this is me: 🦊 ask me how I know! Recreational hunting - killing for pleasure - is a sad and sick demonstration of human inadequacy. Ooh, look at me! Me go on safari! Me Alpha Male! Me got gun! Me kill elephant/ rhino/ lion/ deer/ whatever from great distance! Me tougher than big angry moose! Yay, me! That's pathetic. I'll change my opinion when you kill a boar or a bear with nothing more than your hands and teeth. If you can't do that, leave the poor bloody things alone. Coarse fishing in the UK is licensed and strictly catch-and-release. The fish aren't killed. Some of our big carp are minor celebrities in the fishing community; people have been catching the same ones, weighing them, photographing them and returning them unharmed for decades. Game fishing (trout, salmon, grayling) can be done for food, but is even more tightly regulated and under (rather expensive) licence. We don't fish with dynamite. Blasting bullets (and arrows and buckshot and quarrels) into anything that moves isn't big or clever, but it's very, very Merkin. 😞

    • @@scotthaddad563I don't think you're "brainwashed" if you believe that other animals with a highly developed nervous system can feel pain and be distressed by it. I'd argue it's more the case that many Americans have been "brainwashed" to believe that owning guns is a vital part of their "freedom". We Brits prefer the freedom of not having to worry about mass shootings, which are more or less a daily occurrence in the USA. Here in the UK some forms of hunting are permitted. I believe fishing is generally allowed, as is certain kinds of hunting with a gun (though you'll need a licence). Most animals can't be hunted, either for conservation reasons, or because a humane kill isn't likely (e.g. fox hunting with hounds, or amateurs taking potshots with a crossbow).
