I'm 70 but this conjures up memories from my childhood. So much more sophisticated. So much more engineered. So much more better and usable. BUT!!! It can also be accomplished with a standard garden hoe that you can find in your Dad and Mom's shed that they used for gardening! Haha! Heat and straighten the shaft (with a hammer and a propane torch) between the wooden handle and the hoe blade.. Cut the hoe blade end into a V point using a hacksaw and sharpen with a file. We never got to kill anything with it but we sure stuck it into a lot of things we shouldn't have!! Hahaha Memories...and ass whoopins!! Hahaha

I dont plan on spearing stuff but my blow guns, viper and fish hawk been so fun! Silent....but deadly.... Also my son got in trouble from killing squirrels in town. I dont know how many he shot at but I did see a picture of 3 dead at least. But neighbor ratted him out because a squirrel running around with a dart in it and called DNR. Well I know and see it does slow dart down alot but if fish hawk can get one at least Ill have dart at worse case reel it in so it dont get away. But also they may be a whole other experience with squirrel running to me or what ever will happens reeling in. lol Also we all take ethical shots here, if you are a Tim Wells slockmaster personI know your good.. but people who dont know him....or us....we mess up and it happens so because of modern Karens I have to say I dont want wounded animals running around and will use what I get for nourishment as much as I can. @@FarmerFpv

Nice and effective!! I like the old Mcgiver ingenuity. You can build your original spear with an exchangeable tail, from vanes to metal ring, without investing much. Just a quick release like an impact drill have to switch between bits.

Awesome video Tim! Just bought my blowgun, gonna start with some pesky squirrels in the backyard! The spear will be next!

Great workman ship.. I really like the look of this spear

Omg this was truly amazing. I bet he’s got hundreds of nicks and cuts all over his hands and arms.

I sure do miss seeing brother Buck in your videos. Bucks bee hunting prowess is second to none.

Super cool I’ve been watching all the videos lately keep it up

I’d love to see you work an atlatl. Epic spear throwers. I can’t imagine what you could do with your natural ability to shoot and throw instinctively. New spit viper blowgun on the way btw! Love your vids mr. Slock

Nah. The sharpness and hardness of the spears blade is far more important than the distance you can throw it. You never want to throw it at a target you intend to kill past 3-5 meters. For that, you use a bow. Past 10 meters, use a rifle. Range isn't the goal, lethality is.

@sportsmanowens3570

@@arbhall7572 What? I’m confused at what your trying to get at….. Are you referring to throwing one of Tim’s spears past 5 meters? Because an ability to have enough penetration at range is crucial, and as opportunist hunters (those that used atlatls) they threw those distances from 10 yards-40 yards and farther. Also as someone who has built and thrown an atlatl, I can verify beyond a doubt that the weight of the dart itself is so heavy especially compared to an arrow that If the dart is attached with a stone point or even better a modern broadhead, out at ranges of 30-40 yards if that dart hits its target, the sheer weight of the dart drives it lethally deep into the body. Hence the reason an atlatl was what was used to bring down huge animals like the mammoth. Again, I’m not sure what your trying to debate…

@mikebarrett7412

There's a simple way to get more range. Look into war darts. Roman soldier used a string and a notch just in front of the vaines. I have tried it and I'm minute of man out to sixty yards. In my testing. Fairly accurate out to 20 yards. I think natives on the west coast used thease instead of bows?

That is so sweet, Ima have one built by mornin! Thanks Tim

I remember watching this a year or so ago, and it was just as good the second time.

Your spark burns bright Wells family. A true contrast to the nonsense. A reminder. Have you seen the power of the atlatl? It would be inspiring to see a master hunter get into the brilliant minds of our ancestors and orate. Cheers.

Very interesting on how to build it. Awesome you shared it!

Your doing big things opening up these primitive weapons.

Love it !I flintknapped my own spear heads from stone

Looks great

I just made a traditional style wooden hafted boar spear. 6' Oak haft, similar blade shape to yours 2 inches wide, case hardened mild steel, two 1/2" steel lugs, leather handle wrap. Sheas a beauty, im taking it hunting next week.

That looks good

I hope I'm on Tim's team during the apocalypse.

My homemade effort was way too heavy for throwing like that and I like the depth of penetration available, great job

That was cool I liked it

Pretty freakin cool. Time for spring bear

This is so cool, totally gonna build my own

Man that's pretty dang gone cool

Think Atlatl for the 'Sparrow'....not much of a stretch in thinking for the advancement of distance throwing with Tim's ability in cutting the distance as it were.

The guy in the blue shirt, every thing he did, made me uneasy; From the way he used the tablesaw to how he heated up the blade... The. Man. Is. Dangerous.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Tim is a real role model. Yeah people may disagree with his hunting, but he's so much more than that. He's a proud family man and American, he cares greatly about the environment and above all he has morals and values and a work ethic that's missing in the modern world. God bless you and your family Tim 🙏🙏🙏 love from 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

That guys a BAD ASS !!!!

Woooow awesome 🤩

Tim, love your videos. Ones like this would be so much better without music, though

Atl atl dart is resembling the sparrow. I dig the concept. How heavy? Would like to know what carbon fiber type material would be like. Having a modern throwing device to gain throwing leverage. The guy who was making it is priceless, go to shed and boom killing stick. Big fan just too old to throw. 👍💘

Hey guy, videos are exceptional, the hunts, the shots, the harvest but..... You're killing me with this early '80s porno soundtrack. If I see you with just a big old mustache I know what time it is....lol

I'm glad the dog didn't dash across the path of the sparrow.

“He don’t look real smart but he sure is” lol

You need an Atlatl to add to the lineup. Then when the finally clone a mammoth we can all be prepared when they grow out of control and roam the countryside in packs.

Should try using some Kydex fletching also you could heat it and turn the the fletching like Helical to get a spiraling

Looks like it will be deadly

i like it.

15:30 looks like the poor gsp got in the way of practice! 😊

awesome content as always

Man that's going to be awesome 😎

Tim what you are looking for was created long ago : thé atlal, Prehistoric hunting weapon, more used than thé bow. A Spear that flies long range !

I really like that Tim! I have a Boar spear but it is way to heavy to throw accurately, it feels more like a straight drop bomb instead of a spear! But this new design looks very promising can't wait to get my hands on one!!

@KilalaFW

If it has wings on the head that particular style was meant to be used by driving the butt into the ground and lower the point into the boar as it charged you (from my understanding)

@arbhall7572

Pretty sure you supposed to drop those from above, not throw bud. There's world's of difference between the two. Boar spears are either dropped from above or set to receive a charge. A throwing spears shift has to be flexible throughout most the length, but rigid near the ends. So that it flexes and wobbles to stabilize itself in flight. Throwing spears also usually have vains to guide and manipulate airflow. Very very different designs.

Thank you for your input, but I just made a personal observation to that vary fact, I wasn't asking a question. Even thou Mr. Thompson does demonstrate in his videos of said product that they can be thrown, I myself find it to difficult to do so with any hope of hitting the broad side of a barn with it, hence my observation!

Awesome

Great 👌

If it's possible, can you do persistence hunting? Persistence hunting is pretty much the oldest way of hunting. It was used by early man where you chase down your prey until it collapses from exhaustion.

When I was a kid I made a spear once. was a great spear. My dad said it was something to sharp for me to have and took it away. Later my brother defended himself from a pack of wild dogs. Something like yours, but mine was done with a Siprus tree branch, and I flattened the head to be more aerodynamic, and done with a pocket knife and all wood.

I’m ordering 3, it’s Awsome. And your right, Tim doesn’t look smart at all, I was surprised lol. 👍🇺🇦🇺🇦👍

I think a whip stitch would be more advantageous for the tar string on the vanes .

I’ve always wondered why you don’t hunt with atlatls if u want a spear that flies like an arrow over a distance. I’d prolly do it the way it’s been done for hundreds of thousands of years

Like to see Tim with an atlatl...

When i was a kid i use to get long sticks sharpen them use cardboard and duct tape to make vanes so it would fly straight I loved it

Hey man you should come up with your version of a ATLATL

Grandfather does not know elementary things. Even when shooting from a bow, the plumage starts to work after 10 - 20 meters. It's useless on a spear. Well, everything else is "crazy hands".

Id love to see you use an atlatl

Scary shit with that saw. Need to be way more careful around table saws or someone is going to lose a finger or get a spear shaft kicked back into them.

You have what would be a version of a medieval war dart spear, or a giant Roman plumbata war dart.
