Improvised Spoon Arrowheads

[@Georgecobb-s1v]

At age 83, I've seen many changes in archery equipment , but I still prefer the Primitive & the Traditional over modern. One of my high school friends & another friend both hunted with Fred Bear in the Good Old Days! Successful Survival, whether urban, rural, or wilderness, depends on using what you have EFFECTIVELY! This video is worthy of MULTIPLE comments, which I have done!

[@austinwheeler3679]

This is why I keep a bag of 20 arrowheads, my take down recurve, a small wooden box of feather fletching and some thread/glue in my kit, being an avid archer those tools will no doubt be of use if and when I need them. Thank you for the video, very informative.

[@WiltedSnausage207]

Great video, Corporal! I just started picking up archery after being the firearm snob for the past 16 years, and I'm amazed at how simple yet effective bows really are. Not to mention the fact that a 25 yard walk to the target to retrieve fired arrows is cheaper than a box of ammo!

Jerry Boynton III Just saw an awesome video with an awesome, quick kill on a HUGE bull elk at about 40 yards. After the hit, he walked right towards the Hunter and dropped practically in his lap! How's that for deadly and quick! No need for a lengthy trailing job, there he is!

[@peterlawrence3152]

Good tin snips make fast work of spoons finished off with the file. Nice job using the insert.

[@ralphlatorre203]

After the bow video, I wondered how an arrow may be fashioned. Never thought of a spoon! I probably won't try this project anytime soon, but I've been pricing budget friendly archery equipment just to add to my "toolbox". You also gave me the idea to scrounge around our local archery range. Peope leave stuff behind all the time. Great video!

[@erm4292]

Use a silver spoon for zombies and vampires

[@jordy2299]

Well, no. Not forever. People still have an expiration date

[@Georgecobb-s1v]

Great video, Corporal! Somehow I missed this one, although I'm a long-time subscriber. I grew up in an industrial town & made my first self-bow from a hickory sapling along a railroad track; that was 70+ years ago in the early 1950s. A tool often used in those days was a COLD CHISEL. Once the spoon is flattened, another option for shaping it into an arrowhead would be to cut it with the Cold Chisel before doing the file work. Thanks again. I am impressed with your various well-honed skills! Your channel remains one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing1

[@tom_olofsson]

Every long term survival kit should include basic hand tools. A "4 in hand" file, pliers, hammer, hacksaw, tin snips, and wire cutter are a good start.

[@baron8107]

Tom Olofsson How about some leather riveting tools? Don't take up that much space, and the mallet can be used for other tasks.

[@snoopu2601]

Tom Olofsson I have a bunch of hand tools even a hand drill that can hook up other stuff to it a peddle BIKE is a good resources to power tools and many other things. Copper tubing is good to have around to you never know when you might need that.

A bit of History. Throughout Europe poplar trees were planted along roads and even in Australia for a while. A handy supply of arrow shafts

[@jaybenton546]

Look what I've found. I thought I had seen all of your videos. Another great idea Outstanding like always.

I enjoy going back and re watching these older videos. I might make a arrow making kit/ survival tin.

[@tonyk9722]

Thats why I luv watching your videos. I always learn something new to try. Just amazing, thankyou,Sir.

[@Duckserman]

Always good to wear gloves. I never used to wear gloves until I was making a plow point shelter and was pounding bamboo tent stakes into the ground and skinned 2 of my fingers on the bamboo.

[@tk00903]

My father, during ww 2, took a spoon and a quarter and formed a wedding band for my mother. I used it at my wedding as our rings weren't ready by wedding day. Amazing what can be accomplished when a person puts their mind to it.

[@walterpalmer2749]

Excellent ideas and improvisations. Preparedness at all levels. Smart. Now to add some good files to the tool box.

[@poot111111]

Great idea Corporals Corner! Keep them coming

[@77steve94]

I wouldn't have thought of using a spoon. Thanks for the tip!

[@garlandtindell8396]

Awesome a.f. I love this kind of thing. Repurpose a spoon to help feed oneself is poetic and I have to admit that I never thought of that but I do that sort of stuff every day. That being said, where is the bacon? Never mind, that's what the arrow is for. You made my day.

[@jeffreymchoul]

...great perspective, and a very under-considered "survival" type of situation. Thanks again for yet another great video...

We used to make bandy arrows out of a bit of cane or a bit of bamboo. Screw or weight the end, add in some cardboard flights at the other and then fired from a piece of knitted string. Deadly and effective

[@sky60148]

It seems important, especially during this pandemic, to learn and gain basic practical survival skills. plus strategic critical thinking. Professional skill sets seem okay to have for the working job market. But street smarts and survival skills seem equally important for our modern world's changing environment. Thank you for sharing your skill set and knowledge with us.

[@Terry_weston4570]

[@knighthawk25u]

Awesome video Cpl Kelly!!! Great use of improvised resources 👍👍👍

[@Soviless99]

that arrow tip is way too cool for that arrow ! nice work man i want to try making a copper pipe arrowhead

[@JamesRPatrick]

If you don't have glue, you can cut two tiny wooden stakes and wedge the arrowhead into the shaft.

[@PolAdd22]

Or make some type of glue from weat flour or gelatine from bones or even glue from Conifer tree sap and charcoal 😉😉😉

[@tashaconant5169]

Good idea

[@stephencottrell2078]

Another great one. Thank you

[@MostWantedOHA]

That's very slick Shawn, enjoy your straight forward Ness with your videos , much to be admired, Thanks . Oh and great shooting

[@ianstradian]

Hey Corporal with a half round file you can score the spoon deeply and snap the metal parts you don’t want off. If you have an extra tent pole like the ones inside the PVC bow you can make a fishing arrow, and with a drimel tool a barbed arrow head. I’ve actually made a spoon into a barbed arrowhead for bow fishing. I had to experiment with a few but a small set of barbs that are twisted slightly out of line with the blade of the arrow head itself will work. If they are inline with the arrowhead the barbs don’t always stick inside the fish. BTW, drilling a small hole in the Arrowhead to attach your fishing line is a must. I used an old Whitetail 2 compound bow from the 1980’s and a zebco 202 reel attached to the bow for my fishing rig. It worked. I used this rig to hunt Gar in Baldwin County Alabama 30 years ago.

[@WinStunSmith]

Whaaaaaaatttt! I’ve got to watch the bow vid now. This is crazy cool! LOL...I’m glad I didn’t learn this stuff when I was a kid. You have no idea how much trouble I would have gotten into! Great project. I’ve picked up quite a few ideas that are not only potentially very useful in SHTF, but give me something productive to do on those looooong boring days. 🤟

[@ambercrest8966]

I just found a discarded spoon in a creek nearby my park. Perfect way to sit out quarantine 👌

[@MichaelR58]

Thanks for the instructional video, very innovative idea ! Definitely going to do this !

[@dlighted8861]

I am a traditional archer. That is cool beans about the sparrows.🤔(spoon tipped arrows)🤗 If you unscrew the practice point halfway like you did then heat the point in a candle flame the heat will defeat the glue. If there are no arrows around a decent one can be made from a lowly bamboo tomato stake. Though it can take work to straighten one. I can't wait to tell my friends I am off to the woods to spoon myself a deer.😉

[@SwitchModeMutations]

Really like the intro. Couple handtools.. a little effort.. Awesome.

[@woodrowbrimm2805]

I remember in the Old Day's (early 1970's) my Neighbor who was in his 70's showed me some Home Made Small Game Blunts he made with 3/8 inch Cedar arrows and .38 Special Cartridge Casings for Hunting Rabbits with. Now I'm in my 70's I remember all kinds of things Old Timers taught me that never seemed important at the time.

[@mistermagoo7494]

Cool think I'll give it a try at the weekend

[@2bingtim]

Great video. Whenever I hear "spoons" I remember the old boy in the comedy "Mouse Hunt", bequething his spoon collection to his sons. Spoons! We're rich!

[@Dr.Pepper001]

Corporal, improvising is, as you know, taught from boot camp and on through the Marine experience. Making Arrowheads from SPOONS??? You get an A+ on improvisation. Semper Fi.

[@XxMeatShakexX]

You could probably make decent crossbow bolts with the sharpened spoon with handle still on. Combine two with a cross section to get a further stabilized projectile. Just gotta figure an easy to make crossbow design for the series.

[@baron8107]

Meat Could probably use PVC pipes as a base for the stock and limbs (reinforce latter with fiberglass rods). Heavy-gauge wire for the trigger.

[@mnoxide132]

I live out in the town where Bug's Bunny should have taken a left turn, do you think i could even use cactus needles and just glue a small bundle to the tip of the arrow shaft?

[@Eric-ew8jt]

Outstanding as always thanks

[@hondaridgelineenduser5934]

I wonder if a rasp will file down the metal quicker in conjunction with a flat file. Very good video thank you double c.

I really love the fact that you use the things you make like the bow to test out the other things you make like this arrow head pretty neat and Pratical. Maybe a project with the roman concrete?? I think i think it would be cool to see it in use other than just making a brick.

[@Daylon91]

Your told to superglue the female tip in to the arrow so u probably aren't able to wrench it out

I'm sure your neighbors love it when you shoot arrows towards their house. Seems very safe.

[@riojohncedeno6898]

What if we dont have a file and grinder what should we use

[@glen1arthur]

Did consider using a chisel and hammer? cutting it down than using a file to sharpen it. We ( when I was young) used hazel nut to make arrows around here the natives favoured it over all other sources- we used all kind of things to make arrow heads such as nails hammer them into the end then cut the head off at an angle to make the point. One time our grandfather gave us an old hack saw blade that was to worn to use and taught us how to make a fishing arrow head . Good memories .Very interesting topic.

[@recall5811]

more than one way to do something. thanks for watching

[@zyriab5797]

Amazing ! I was watching some videos about bow and this pops up in my notifications. Looks like a nice project and, like you said, a good skill to add to one's skill set !

[@5udimax]

Excellent video as always! But what if a practice arrow cannot be procured?Using an arrow to make an arrow is the easy way out of the problem.

[@recall5811]

There are plenty of other ways to do things and several future videos to make. Thanks for watching

[@stinkyfinn6977]

Threelluminati wood dowling rods, tent poles even a straight stick with a point, gaffer tape for flights theirs loads of ways to make them, if you can't work out to make a arrow you sort of deserve to perish (I'm not saying you don't know how to make one) but it's basic stuff

[@maricaplasmans6061]

TY Corporal JJ. How about using a cold chisel to pinch off the extra?

[@williamvailati2044]

yes stored away outstanding brother !!! Semper Fi

[@lazyles875]

👍👍👍👍👍👍 I was thinking about the spoons lol

[@mandobird]

another thing you could do to save time filing is use a hammer and chisle to cut most of the way through and then bend it off then use the file to remove the rough edge and to add a sharp point

[@trodengore]

or a hacksaw

[@maximiliancarl6374]

Yeah I agree, bending the head to get off the extra material is the most efficient option
