Real men hunt with a Boleadroa.

Thanks for this, I do a different sort of performance with the boleadora, (but with a harder end), and this is good for practice.

@Shifticek real men don't hunt, but get a woman to make them a sandwich and bring them an ice cold Beer.

@dougsines He said it was a practice golf ball, that is just plastic, two minutes into the video

[dougsines]

So golf balls in the weighted ends, but what's in the non weighted end?

Coolest job ever. Sit around, tie knots, throw tied knots at shit, get up go play with guns, at end of day have beer, be manly. I'm one jealous none of the above.

I' m Argentinian. The art of throwing boleadoras is a bit lost i think. But It was used a lot by the indians and the gauchos to hunt small preys like ñandus (kind of ostrich) and to stop cavalry running away. For example in the Argentinian Civil wars, the leader of one of the factions (General Paz) was imprissoned when his horse fell down after been hit with a boleadora in his legs.

Very Cool!

I always wanted to make one of these.

I hope braided nylon line will do, as I have a bunch.
