Nice one, that looked like good fun! Ive never used one of those before, will have to give it a try with some pipe. Thanks for the inspiration and for making the video. Mike
Can you actually even kill anything with that? I can see maybe incapacitating something like a sparrow or a mouse. But I imagine you'd need a pretty long pipe and a really, _really_ long dart to kill anything worth eating.
Depending on the power your able to get with the pipe, having darts with a tight seal etc... Those who hunted with this would usually smear poison on the dart tips to take the animal down quicker Bill
Cherokee successfully hunted with them in my area without poison. Small game like squirrels, rabbits, and birds were taken by shooting for the head/eyes. Very cool and underrated weapon.
I've seen some people like Tim Wells kill medium sized game with his cold steel blowgun and broadhead darts. It does seem like quite the underrated weapon indeed.
Ha ha brilliant young man .you will get quite accurate with practice but REMEMBER HUNTING with these are ILLEGAL round these parts .Be cooking a brace of pheasants down my winter camp come the weekend if you ever watch anything on my channel All the best bill ...steve

Blowguns are a lot of fun, for me one about four and a half feet works well. Enjoy
Too right mate! Thanks for watching
Bill
Hello bill , I've hit a little blow pipe they're good fun , atb Martin
Hey Martin, blow pipes are great fun for sure! Can easily lose a couple of hours from just playing about with it
Bill
wonder how those darts would work in a paint ball gun?
I dunno but I sure as hell wouldn't wanna get hit by one!
Bill
You are going to have to shoot a helluva lot farther that THAT! Have you seen what South American natives can hit up in a tree? LOL
