Making a Bola

Step 11Using the bola

Using the bola
Now that you have an awesome bola it's time to use it. Unlike in the movie "Kangaroo Jack" where as far as I can remember they held it by the the central knot. With this bola you hold it by one of the monkeys fists (I like to hold it by the lightweight fist). Then swing it over your head and let go at the right time during the rotation to hit your target. It takes a bit of practice but after a while (I didn't say a short one) you might get to be as good as the Argentinians (that's meant to be optimistic).

Also, the weights can be made from tennis balls, then you can throw them at you friends.

Good luck! I am a beginner so suggestions are welcome.
