Has anyone ever used a blowgun? I was at a freinds house and he had a competition one.. I always thought they were toys but hes got a fuggin 72" one He offered me one of his older ones 27" (i think) but he has someone that he goes to comp with him that wants it... so he gave me a day to think about it! How hard is it to use? Are they accurate? Im tired of buying .22 super colibri they cost a fortune here now  .... Any info would be appreciated. I think this is similar to to the one.  It would come with an extra mouth peice 4 quivers 100 ponity things  and 100 blunt things, and a "sling" Thanks, M ETA* He told me I could have it for 20 bucks... and i thought it would be a cheap "backyard" toy. |
| My brother and I used to kill pigeons compulsively with my old blowgun and pellet Pistol. They just take some time getting used to aiming with them. Also to kill a bird you need to hit him in the center mass. Make sure that you have plenty of darts because you will LOOSE every other dart that you shoot. |

Had one. And while they aer quiet and fairly accurate if there is no wind, they do not have significant power to anchor game. The darts will penetrate but you must hit the CNS to have any effect. Hit a bird and if lucky, it will pin the wing against the body, knocking it down but not out. Get a good spring-air air rifle. Pellets are cheap and the good ones with 1000+ FPS velocity are every bit as good as the subsonic .22s |
Cold Steel sells some nice ones here is my thread on the subject.... blowgun and small animals |

Hey Burn would one of these work? hotsaucecatalog.stores.yahoo.net/hot-sauce.html ?, M |
what I use isnt actually a sauce its the oil...look in your yellow pages and see if there are any hotsauce store in your area we have one here and I get 3.1million for $34 and 5.0million for $44...I just dont tell them what I want it for if they ask or I say gift...LOL the 3.1 million works fine I just like the overkill of the 5.0 million....I want to try the 7.1 million and see if it Seasons bunny meat LOL |
LOL... have you ever tried Blairs? Says its the newest hottest one made? M |
Later this year when I go home to bunny hunt I will try a few to see whick works the best......I love the "Big" bore blow guns.... .62 or .68 cal depending.....and they make some nice broad head razor darts for the big blowguns...fun stuff |

ok this sounds disgusting but its the easiest way I can describe it 1. take a deep breathe 2. pucker your lips and plug them with your tongue 3. while plugged form pressure in your cheeks by exhaling 4. quickly remove tongue cause pressure to release a quick hard "puff" of Air... the more pressure you can build in your mouth the strong the dart....I can stick a practice metal dart pretty far into a 2X4 while my roommate only gets half the penetration I do....

Actually you LOOSE every dart that you shoot. Look it up. |
Kinda of like you LOOSE every arrow from a bow.  I think he meant LOSE though...  M |
