TKOR shows how to make a 5' big bore .625 blowgun at home with just a few hardware store parts. If nothing else it's a cheap way to get started.

Thank you and greetings from South Africa. I have subscribed to your channel.

Nice job John ! I posted it to the Slingshot forum .

Im developing a 500 series and many darts. I am launching spears out of 500. Im hitting 50 yard shots out of a 42 inch gun right now. Im deciding what i want to do with the designs i have. So i cant go deep but once that hurdle is overcomed id like to send you some to try.

you can use a cardboard box with a pillow case attached to the front for a target, dart hits the pillow case and since it's floppy it soaks up all the energy and it's easy to retrieve darts, half of them hit and then gently fall out, ive been doing this a long time, i used to have a phone book at the back, but you can put more cardboard, every now and then a cone will pop off and a dart will go thru so you need the extra behind the pillowcase for those times. (or just super glue all your darts and it's a non issue) but it's basically free and you can shoot it a million times. ive also used a box full of old rags but it was annoying getting your darts back out, can also shoot a old punching bag from a yard sale or thrift shop, it'll take tens of hundreds of shots before it starts to fall apart, then you just use duct tape and shoot it tens of hundreds more times. still the open box with pillow case in front is my favorite one.

It's hard for me to watch these videos due to the smacking you do when you open your mouth. Some really good lip balm would probably help with that.

So question. Thoughts on a Attn night vision or thor scope. They are digital so dont require the 1 eye in line use

Wow I have a 5 foot heavy Cold steel. No wonder I love it so much. I'm pretty good so I don't need that much practice but it is kind of heavy but I like it because I seem to be able to hold steadier

The stun dart is very good at educating squirrels to stay off your bird feeders .

Is that the same Arnold Schwarzenegger who said "screw your freedoms," during the covid craziness when people like me were hesitant to take the vaccine? He lost me as a fan over that.

Subscribed. Thank you for this concise information.

What's the advantages of a larger bore?

Nice.. I just ordered the Slock Master from Tim Well's site. Your videos are a wealth of information. Thanks

I had a 6.5’ camo blow gun back in the early 80’s when I was a kid. Bought it from the back of a magazine. Got taken away from my pops! Don’t know whatever happened to it but it sure was accurate. Bought it around 81’/82’. Wish I knew who made that thing cause I sure would like another one.

Thanks for the video. I'm a big fan of the blowgun. Love the videos.

thank you for the dedication

Helo,very good thanks.Where i can buy for shipping in FRANCE 🇫🇷 ? "The Slock master" .625 specific Blowgun laser sight called the Red Eye Dead Eye.😊

Based on this report, how can Tim Wells kill a Baboon or a Black Bear with a Razor Head Dart?

I have a home made 5 ft. Blowgun made from a 12” Electrical Conduit pipe..I have a hard time getting enough speed from it or distance. I use the mini-broadhead for my darts.

I’m a beginner with the blowgun, I have a difficult time gettin the dart to hit my target and when it does, it bounces off.

At least they use international time in: hours, minutes and seconds. But they also have to learn to measure distances when communicating worldwide. Thumb widths, feet and steps.... were also known in Europe, plus cubits... but only in the Middle Ages! What if you want to buy something from Germany and the measurements are in cubits?

John, always excellent detailed work and analysis on your part! Thank you, all your videos are outstanding!

You probably can't find more than is said here on the subject. There really is no aspect missing. Except perhaps where you can find foam grips for the blowpipe online, because I'm still looking for them in vain. I would be grateful for website links here.

Thanks for all the valuable information!

Compliments to the author of the video. He has a natural talent for presenting facts in an understandable and vivid way. He also deals with the scientific aspects of the topic without becoming too incomprehensibly technical. People like this could be good teachers and mentors in any area of life. When you watch his videos, you have not only seen them but also understood them. Thumbs up!

The video provides a lot of important information. Also ethical. And you should reflect on yourself before you even start. All the information is presented very clearly and you learn a lot about the important “trappings” beyond just shooting the blowpipe. A very helpful, well-made video!

Great video! Very well done and informative. I built my own .625 blowguns for years, and I hold and aim traditionally (both hands very close to the mouthpiece). So, I use a pendant quiver, and a very light blowgun. I use a cupped mouthpiece and cannot use the ones on the commercial blowguns. 50 years of doing the same thing makes it difficult to change. Lately I have used several commercial darts in the 70-grain weight range and like them. Frankly it is easier to buy than to make them. I use my own cones, though. I have gotten used to the flexible cones I make from aisle marking tape, and they are my standard. They seem faster, and are definitely more consistent and quieter. I do have to change them often. I mostly shoot a four-footer, because I hunt in terrain with very dense vegetation. My shots are never more than thirty or forty feet. Bottom line, I am a sort of 'native' blowgun shooter, and the commercial darts and shafts are my 'trade points'.

Got predator 40 cal 40" is there a predator big bore so I didn't waste my money

Hello I bought a blow gun more then 25 or more years ago at an outdoor show . I put it away and I forgot about it last week I found it in an old dresser drawer in my basement but I couldn’t find the darts . So my question is how can I tell what size dart it takes . I know by watching your videos its not a .625 so it must be a 40 or 50 cal so is there some way of measuring to know? Thank you John

Glad I got my cold steel professional 5' before they stop making them . Very accurate and sturdy as can be

Where is the homemade and customs blowgun video? THAT is what i am interested in. I would rather make a custom blowgun and darts then buy a manufactured item that would cost 10 times what making one would.

Hi John, I always like your professional and well explained Blowgun Videos. They are the best on UA-cam and I have learned much from you. Kind regards from Germany.

Wow 😮

You Mentioned aluminum tubing…Where can I get some .625 cal aluminum tubing to make a single peace 5 or 6 foot blowgun…? 😃

Where can I get some stock .625 cal aluminum tubing to make a 5 or 6 foot blowgun…? I’d like a single peace blowgun as well, but can’t find that demand from a commercial blowgun ☺️😌

I want to see the home made .625 blowgun video. There are tons of videos with pvc but none making aluminum big bore blowguns

Are blowguns legal in Connecticut?

Excellent video and information. Would love to see more of this with the newer darts on the market. Thanks for sharing.

I also miss the BlowgunNorthwest website and forum.

My pvc blowgun, 15mm x 1meter length, gives me 100fps on 6g darts, looks like a 5footer not needed and won't give any extra velocity. What do you think?

You're the best!💀👍

How do I contact this guy John

This channel is an absolute trove of technical data and practical know-how.

Wow. I must confess, I'd never thought of anything even remotely similar to the card sight. It's absolutely brilliant, and the zeroing ingenius. I'm not gonna use it, but that's no indictment of its practical ingenuity.

I've spent hundreds on cold steel darts and can't get them to group. Didn't have other options back in the day but I'll have to give these a try. The 4' seems more accurate than the two piece.

Great video! I just ordered my tactical rail mount and laser sight. Thanks for the great information!

All of this info, of course, only applies to this gentleman and anyone with similar ability (lung power, shall we say). Other's with more lung power, who can send these same darts out the barrel at well over 200fps can consider longer barrels and achieve even higher velocities.

I seen at least 3 UA-cam’s where the host states that you can even use the blowgun as a walking stick . I walked trails with a walking staff.and on occasion had to put my entire weight on the staff. I can just imagine what the blowgun would look like after your hike
