That’s interesting. I’d have assumed that the bounce(s) might alert the target that they have incoming.
Just needs the Dambusters music and we’re in business.

Yeah, that's cool, I can imagine how affective it is once you've mastered the bouncing and can judge that accurately. He sounds cool too!
I did wonder who was retrieving the arrows

Umm, i'm slipping down the rabbit hole of bouncing arrows!!!

Skipping stones on water ("Ducks and Drakes") were also used for hunting - hence the name!
John can you explain that please?. Ime thinking duck cos the duck might duck and miss and drake cos a drake was a name for a type of cannon which would be a hit but I really have no idea x .
John, sarcasm is not nice.. Here is what you wrote
"Skipping stones on water ("Ducks and Drakes") were also used for hunting - hence the name!"
So my question was and still is "hence the name for what?"

Not sarcasm - "Ducks and Drakes" is a very common name for the game of skipping stones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are now on my ignore list!

Referring to the video description: „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.”
Anthropological lesson of the day
The original Uralic speakers (main branches being Finnic, Ugric, and Samoyedic) were Mongolid urtype of Sibirid type; the Khanty (Ob-Ugric subbranch speakers) often still are and usually with the subtype Ugrid (a neotenised form of the Uralid) lesser so with the Uralid (the most primal subtype), the Samoyeds almost always are and usually with the subtype Samoyedid (i think that this was what the original Sámi were, still possibly found in Finnish Sámi).
My cephalotype is a flattened form of the Uralid called the Chukchid being (to my knowledge) the only Tungusian and East Siberian Sibirid, with this also being found in (at least) Athabaskans in Alaska, Yukon, BC, (&c,) and the Four Corners area (Navajo and Apache).

Some years ago a few hobbyists tested those against some floating rubber ducks with somewhat terminal results. I became a believer after seeing their short video on it.
