    Chad, you got it all wong, man !
    I'm from Brazil and at the south we have the "gaúcho" culture that uses "boleadeiras" for centurys.
    It came from many different indian tribes that used it for hunting and for war.
    To throw it, you never hold at the meadle of the strings like you did.
    You must hold the boleadeira by one of the stones and swing the other two over your head, get momentum and let it go.
    The precision will be much better and the span of the stones flying will be the double.

    • @Kevin_Levrone505
      @Kevin_Levrone505 2 года назад

      American indians grabbed from the middle of the string to increase the kinetic energy upon impact and that also increases range how ever grabbing it on the stones so that the string is loose in theory may be slightly more accurate and farther it's a trade off as you get less of a tangle meaning the bird gets away much easier due to the loss of the kinetic energy and the shock to the animal bolas can also be made out of wood to for water fowl such as ducks and geese either way both work it's just up to the user which way to throw it and how strong the user is there is no right or wrong way to use it

      @@kevingray4980 Keving: You have the right idea. The bola lasts longer if you throw it by the knot rather than one of the weights, and you have more control and a wider target if one of the lanyards is shorter than the other two. There are a lot of anachronisms in the vid, the main one is that this really does not work well in woods or brush, and is used mostly in open savanna, tundra, or grasslands.

    First time I see one of your videos and I'm already a subscriber! In Argentina, we call them boleadoras, both native peoples and gauchos used them for hunting, catching cattle, and as a weapon. From what I've seen, cordage here is usually longer, about 3 feet or more. That's probably the reason why you feel more comfortable with longer rope. Looking forward to seeing the second part!

    Beautiful video. Boleadeiras are still used here in Brazil by the Gauchos. However, they are bigger, with big stones, and longer strands of leather. The way to throw Boleadeiras is to grab one of the balls and then make a circle with them, finally throwing them. Two will hit the target and the third will make all the strands of leather turn around the prey's legs.

    arent they normally thrown by swinging them on one stone and then releasing them so they can spread up nicely and still rotate to tangle around the legs of your pray? Just asking...

    • @GodlordBazi
      @GodlordBazi 4 года назад +1

      Well, depends on what you want to do. If you throw them the way you described it, they spread up twice as far, as you said, but it's really hard to control them and your range is only about two thirds since you'd have to put more force into it for the one bola in your hand. There were some native tribes which used to throw their bolas that way, but this wasn't the case for every single animal they were hunting.
      .
      An easier technique is to throw the bolas like he did, but without letting them spin arround your head that often. One additional spin is okay (if you're advanced already) in order to gain more force, after that it's just getting harder to control them and therefore a lot harder to hit your target. Just hold the bolas at the end of the rope with your prefered hand and the weights with your other hand. Then give the weights a little push upwards, swing the bolas once arround your head and release them after one full spin. This technique is - as I already mentioned - a lot more accurate and your range is increased due to more weight at the end of the ropes, which benefits centrifugal force in terms of acceleration. You probably wouldn't use that technique when hunting big animals like horses or something like that though, since the spread is not enough to catch two legs at a time.

Like you really have to understand the concepts/world around you to understand how make those.

    Soy Argentino y nunca cace con boleadoras pero si jugué con ellas. No se arrojan sosteniéndolas del punto medio, se arrojan sosteniéndola de una bola (que suele ser en forma de gota para mejor agarre) . La idea es que giren en el aire y se enreden en las patas de la presa, por eso suelen tener de 3 a 4 mts de diámetro (o mas dependiendo de la presa) . Hay una versión que se llama Bola loca o Pampa, que consiste en una sola bola y la idea es impactar con la bola a la presa.

  • @pauljs75
    @pauljs75 3 года назад +1

    There's a third technique to make them, but it requires a bone or wood needle, getting yarn from some animal like an alpaca (or perhaps flax or similar fine fibers?), and needle-binding an enclosure over the stone, clay, or metal weights. Then you weave strings through that enclosure which anchors them very securely, and then twist those strings into the tether cords. Rest is just knots, or for finer quality - splicing. Only thing is the "woven" version may be a bit more time intensive than some other approaches, and such would be found from cultures already known for their textile work.

  • @vicentcampsvilallonga
    @vicentcampsvilallonga 6 месяцев назад

    For the boleadora to work correctly, hold a ball with your left hand and with the other hand turn the rest from the central knot. When you release you must try to direct the central knot at the target and release both hands, you will see how the ropes unfold. and rotate about the central knot, covering more impact area.
