Reconstructing and experimenting with the extraordinary bouncing arrows used in the past by Uralic peoples of Western Siberia in hunting of aquatic birds. In this documentarish video we will explore, craft and experiment with these rarely known but amazingly clever arrow inventions whose usage has been documented among Khanty and Samoyedic peoples. Our reconstruction is based on records of late finnish folklorist Kustaa Vilkuna. Subscribe to Ugri Archer channel: https://www.youtube.com/UgriArcher
