Video on the Boleadoras
Oct 23rd, 2016 at 11:15am
 
I've been wanting to get back to using my bolas (boleadoras/bola/lug nuts tied to paracord) so I had a look around for some videos and found this one. Now it is technically in Spanish but a picture is worth a thousand words and video is worth a lot of pictures. One really interesting thing which I haven't seen before (and that I now really want to try out) turns up at about the 3:15 mark where the guy shows a particular way to carry the bolas which then makes it easy to deploy and lead into a throw almost instantly. I really need to find a good stick and get out into the local field before it gets too cold Cheesy

there'sa video on youtube somewhere of david morningstar being useless with a bolas Smiley
Think I posted it. It'll be on one of the curiousaardvark accounts I lost the passwords for and youtube wouldn't let me back in
One of me being not quite as bad and bilbo trying to retrieve it once it was tangled round a sapling Smiley

lol here you go:





Wish we had video of us trying to use the super long captured baseball sling I was sent from america.
David managed to wrap it round his neck and nearly choked himself to death and I nearly knocked my head off with the baseball lol
