Aiming a Blowgun
One procedure in aiming a Blowgun is looking and focusing on your targets bullseye with both eyes open. You should see two ghost images of your blowgun barrel, one barrel will be to the left, and one barrel to the right of your focused target. At this point move your barrel slightly until your focused target is in the middle of these two ghost images and then fire. Practice of this procedure will yield better accuracy.

Loading a Blowgun
 One thing I've seen frequently especially among beginning Blowgun enthusiasts is when they load their Blowgun they have there muzzle pointing downward. (That is the opposite end of the Blowgun in which you blow from). They load their Blowgun and shoot. This is more common with the longer barrels. The results of this procedure is that their projectile is 1/2 or 3/4 down the barrel or even lying on the ground in front of them before they shoot. Sometimes humorous to the bystander, May be frustrating to the blowgun user. One procedure in loading a Blowgun is pointing your muzzle upward. Loading your projectile into the safety mouthpiece (Once loaded into the safety mouthpiece it can't slide back out) Lowering the front of your Blowgun until it is level with your target and then fireing. Practice of this procedure will yield better results...

Tips & Tricks by George Fisher
 We are proud to present this category.

The following articles, were written by Master blowgun hunter, George Fisher.

(How to Sharpen your Spearhead Darts)
Many people enjoy using the Spear point Darts for hunting and target Practice.
however, they must be kept sharp to really do a good job. The use of a wetstone and a bit of oil can take off any small burrs that develop, or a new point can be made using a small fine file.
The point should only be sharpened to just before the widest point, and no further. If the whole edge is sharpened, damage to your blowgun barrel could result over time. The shaft is held in the hand, and the point rubbed in a circular motion over the surface of the stone. The edge should be held at approx. a 30 deg. angle. Do this for all four edges. A dart that will stick in a foam tray when dropped from 8 inches or so, is considered sharp enough for hunting. Author, George Fisher

(Keeping Paintballs Fresh)
Keeping Paintballs Fresh-Add a small moisture absorbing packet, as found in some shoes, foods, etc to your container of paintballs. George Fisher

(Dented Muzzles)
Dented Muzzles can be repaired in the field by inserting a closed pair of needle nose pliers, and twisting. This will iron out small dents, and burrs. Apply firm pressure while turning. by G.N. Fisher

A small sharpening stone as sold for fish hooks will also put a nice point on your target darts. Just rotate the shaft as you rub it along the length of the groove in the stone.

Always have a pair of plyers handy when shooting. These will allow you to remove darts from hard objects without bending the shaft.

Use bright colored flights on your darts for target practice, to make spotting your shots easier. Save the dark colored flights for Hunting.

Range & F.P.S.
 The Range and the F.P.S. (feet per second) of a blowgun depends on how long the barrel Is and also the caliber. With our EXTREME .50 caliber Teflon treated blowguns expect A 35% increase in Velocity and Penetration. With A flatter Trajectory. This Is a perfect Hunting or Survival Weapon. The longer the barrel the more power and impact it will offer.

Pro Hunter Darts

We designed the Pro Hunter Dart with the blowgun hunter in mind. It is a heavy steel dart with a flattened spearhead tip. We originally designed it for our .50 caliber blowgun lineup and started with a 5" length and experimented with many lengths and decided that 2" length would work best and it would also be light enough to use with our .40 caliber blowguns.

The .50 calibers are the best choice for utilizing the Pro Hunter Dart. It pushes the dart at a faster speed and thus more impact and knock down power.

Whether using .40 caliber or .50 caliber blowguns we do recommend using the longer barrels for best performance when using the Pro Hunter Darts. We recommend a 36" minimum with the 48" being the best choice.
