At age 83, I've seen many changes in archery equipment , but I still prefer the Primitive & the Traditional over modern.

This video is worthy of MULTIPLE comments, which I have done!
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
I've considered my Swiss Army Knife ("Ranger" Model) as my #1 Pocket Knife/ but of Survival Gear for 25 years. If I'm not naked, it's in my pocket. If I am naked, it's within reach.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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. 🤟
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.
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.😉
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 !
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
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!
since i dont have access to a grinder, i looked for another way to make the arrowhead, found out tin snips worked great, fast, efficient. glue and fine thread helped bind the arrowhead in place.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
This certainly would not help me survive. It would be a one way ticket to death if my wife knew I ruined a spoon regardless of circumstance. LOL Great content Corporal !

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

Those looked like really good spoons your wife is going to be mad:)
6 for a dollar. Thanks for watching
Ozinga
She not gonna be that mad if it gets dinner on the table in a survival situation.
@@recall5811 that is so cheap wow
OZINGA ARE YOU AN IDIOT IMMIGRANT ??
TRY DOLLARAMA $6.00 for a complete dinnerware set... is that too much for your dumpster-diving ass ??

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

Use a silver spoon for zombies and vampires
Well, no. Not forever. People still have an expiration date

Look what I've found. I thought I had seen all of your videos. Another great idea Outstanding like always.
Thats why I luv watching your videos. I always learn something new to try. Just amazing, thankyou,Sir.
...great perspective, and a very under-considered "survival" type of situation. Thanks again for yet another great video...
Done this several times.
Outstanding.
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
Next up? Crossbow from a car spring :D Pretty please, with cherries n stuff ;)
Great idea Corporals Corner!
Keep them coming
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.
Always thinking outside the box. Awesome👊🏻
This time, it was thinking outside the (kitchen) drawer.
Great Improvised Arrow Corp.
Thanks 🇺🇸 🍀 Boston Bushcraft.

Absolute great video. I have lots of old/cheap arrows. Fun future project. Thanks!
These can be made now as a backup for the real deal. Great content!
I wouldn't have thought of using a spoon. Thanks for the tip!
Excellent ideas and improvisations. Preparedness at all levels. Smart. Now to add some good files to the tool box.
Awesome video Cpl Kelly!!! Great use of improvised resources 👍👍👍

Excellent, thank you for the time you spend on this subject.
I enjoy going back and re watching these older videos. I might make a arrow making kit/ survival tin.

Absolutely outstanding. Could never figure that out, good idea with the spoons
Another great one. Thank you
Cool. Like the”outside the box” thinking and ingenuity.
I just found a discarded spoon in a creek nearby my park. Perfect way to sit out quarantine 👌

Always glad to see new videos. Great job! Keep it up!
that arrow tip is way too cool for that arrow ! nice work man i want to try making a copper pipe arrowhead
If you don't have glue, you can cut two tiny wooden stakes and wedge the arrowhead into the shaft.
Or make some type of glue from weat flour or gelatine from bones or even glue from Conifer tree sap and charcoal 😉😉😉
Good idea
I really enjoy all your videos. You always keep them very interesting and to the point. Thank you for sharing.
That's very slick Shawn, enjoy your straight forward Ness with your videos , much to be admired, Thanks . Oh and great shooting
Cool think I'll give it a try at the weekend
Absolutely outstanding content much appreciated northern ont. Canada
So simple. Great video dude
This is an awesome idea
Very cool looking head - it’ll do its job when duty calls! Thanks for that... 👍
Really like the intro. Couple handtools.. a little effort.. Awesome.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
I was thinking about the spoons lol
Excellent.....!!!!
I'm a well seasoned bowhunter..👍
Thanks for the instructional video, very innovative idea ! Definitely going to do this !
Awesome video as always, thanks for sharing! Greetings from Portugal.
Outstanding as always thanks

another 1st for me... thanks, Corporal
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.
There are plenty of other ways to do things and several future videos to make. Thanks for watching
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
tentpoles. thanks
@Stinky Finn :
If you have a tree or sapling, you have an arrow.
Threelluminati j
Great idea. I will try out similar with sling shot
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!
Great info mate. Really interesting.
I love and support corporals corner you should make merch I would but it I allwsys learn things from your videos thx
Well done! Great idea.
Oh yea baby! Smoothin it!
Slick. Keep up the good work
Corporal Kelly thumbs up
Awesome video!
since i dont have access to a grinder, i looked for another way to make the arrowhead, found out tin snips worked great, fast, efficient. glue and fine thread helped bind the arrowhead in place.
I didn't use a grinder
New to your channel, been watching like crazy. Learned quite a bit already. Keep up the great work, I really enjoy your videos.
Wicked looking point!
Thatsa good idea keeper flowing my friend
Great video, filed away for a rainy day 😎
Nice follow up to your bow making video.
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.

Good training cpl. Kelley. Thanks for the tip ( no pun intended). Ooooorah!
Another great vid as usual
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.
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.
Yaaa great video...been waiting for a new upload from you
new videos every week bro, thanks for watching
I can see you in the spoon 😁😁
Recommended video #2 on my list.
Good video, I've made similar out of old files shaped into a point already.
But i made as spear heads!
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
or a hacksaw
Yeah I agree, bending the head to get off the extra material is the most efficient option
TY Corporal JJ. How about using a cold chisel to pinch off the extra?
or snips
Cold chisels are one of my favorite tools.
What if we dont have a file and grinder what should we use
I would love to see you do a video of you chucking up a spoon in a lathe! Awesome!
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'm sure your neighbors love it when you shoot arrows towards their house. Seems very safe.
or the house was empty. Thanks for watching
Man u are awesome! Ur my second concience
Thank you for nice job
Very great video
This was a great tutorial. Hope you'll show us how to make arrows when you don't have a practice arrows available.
Thank you, I'm gonna make a couple and keep them in my bug out bag
Thanks man you really help me on money spent's
man this really helped me,thank you sooo much!
Great idea man! Awesome how you set it up dude, its thay multi use mentality. I like it
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?
