More than the practice of Baiga on traditional hunter-gatherer practices, these have deep bearing upon these forest realms as well as on these practices. An example of their traditional weaponry is the iron arrowhead, which has been and is modified according to the rich Baiga craftsmanship in weapon-making and hunting at various points in time. It is cast in a particular design with a sharply pointed end intended to pierce animal skin with great efficiency. Uniquely, the lower end of the arrowhead is also pointed, allowing securing attachment to a wooden shaft, therefore making this instrument even more useful and illustrative of the practical ingenuity characteristic of Baiga blacksmithing techniques.

At an opportune time during festive occasions, Bhuksha, a ritualistic ceremony of performance and enjoyment, would find the Baiga venturing out into the deep and dense forests of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh with such weapons in search of small game. Usually, arrowheads are hand forged by the villagers at the forge using iron procured from the surrounding areas. The techniques of firing, hammering, and shaping have never been documented; they are said to have been taught from generation to generation among skilled artisans within the tribe. Iron arrowheads and modernization may have affected many aspects of tribal life but such objects remain an important key to accessing the Baiga relationship with the forest ecosystem. First, it speaks of dependency on natural resources, second, traditional ways of hunting, and third, it could testify to the possibility of a sustainable way of living. For now, such objects have also acquired value relative to cultural and anthropological issues; they provided an understanding of tribal craftsmanship and survival strategies.
