If you were hunting waterfowl with a bow how well would you do? Would you need superior skills like Robin Hood. Ever wonder or did you have to retrieve your arrow after you missed that duck. Chances are you lost that arrow.
In the early days of yesterday, the native American Indian (Klamath, Modoc tribe) hunted waterfowl with a skipping arrow. Just like tossing those thin stones where it skips across the water. These native indians did it with an arrow. If you missed the shot, the arrow can still be retrieved since it floats.
One of the tactics that was used was to go after a flock of ducks on the water. This would increase the chance of getting one rather than targeting a single bird.
Sometimes lo-tech is the way to go. Our primitive ancestors figured this out before the use of gun powder or shotguns were conceived. Read the rest of native indian skipping arrow.

I suppose “Skipping Arrow” would have been a nicer name than “Two Dogs F*cking”.

I think it sounds like Liz Warren’s gay brother.

‘Native Indian’. Does that mean native to India? People in India don’t use bows and arrows, they work in phone centers.

Well, I just use my full auto survival derringer because you never know when youre going to have to take a leak and that’s when you always get jumped by a moose being chased by a bear. Of course that limits me to only longer shots at those flying over 10,000 feet. Anything closer would just be un-sportsman like.

Yes, always; the survival cheese in his back pocket attracts them.
Also doesn’t help that he always takes his sister with him on these forays.
