Using paracord, cut three equal lengths (from a foot and a half up to three feet long)
Tie a small bowline knot in the end of each piece of cord and when done thread the loose end through each loop until you have a triangle
Pull each loose end through their loop until all three loops form a knot, and giving you the basic shape of the bola
For weights, use cannonball style fishing weights that can weigh up to two pounds, or learn to tie a monkeyfist knot around heavy stones

I own both of these systems,mainly for Hunting Purposes and I have had them ever since I was 12 years old,before I could get a firearms license.I own a 50LB Norinco Crossbow and 128LBS English longbow,as well as a cheap 35LBS Training Recurve Bow.

I was just wanting to start A PEACEFUL debate on the pros and cons of each system,in the following catergories:

Reliability
Ease of Manufacture
Projectiles
Stopping Power
Range
Accuracy
Ergonomics
