saw one with wire hops but not this...pretty cool

 

I saw one with wire, but never like that. Cool looking!

 

looks like a head that will be around for 2-3 years because it looks "cool" then fade off into oblivion

 

There were similar heads available in the 1970's I remember making some with a field point and stiff wire then I was a teenager. I couldn't afford fancy stuff like that. Hunted groused with them......got very few.

 

I used to have one like that but made out of wire

 

what were you guys hunting with it?

 

Birds. I went on a pheasant hunt one year with recurves and used these. It was fun.

Looks pretty neat

 

I take it that the hoops/loops tangle up the bird to keep it from flying?

Any videos of these in action?

It sounds interesting to try this fall.

How do you make them?

It looks interesting, never seen one though. Is it supposed to be better than just plain wires?

Thanks Coop!

I still don't get it.... What function does the wire hoops play? Is it to increase your chances of hitting the bird, and if you miss to find your arrow?

In a comparison to firearms, the arrows with hoops are like a shotshell and a regular arrow is a slug/bullet?

Thanks!

I answered my own question!

Small Game Hunting with Bow and Arrow

Technically they claim to tangle in the bird's feathers making it difficult to fly. But we had several still fly after being hit the hunt I was on.

 

It is really just to prevent arrow loss more than anything. It is not really a Snaro head, more of a judo and is made with string trimmer line. You can also clip the line and have straight prongs instead of hoops.
