Blowgun aiming tip: to aim your blowgun accurately (left to right) hold it up to your mouth and look with both eyes open down the barrel "at" your target in doing so you should see 2 ends to your blowgun. Center your target between the two ends and it's dead center nearly every time. Depending on the distance from your target you will have to adjust your aim up or down. The further away, the higher you need to aim, but being as that it's a blowgun you're probably not going to be that far away.
Why use a mouthpiece? This slows down the air in the pipe. But the real trick to getting a blow pipe to work well is to use your tongue to build pressure in your chest and then squeeze the air with your diagram. It should make a "tuh" sound.
I like the PVC blow gun, and I LOVE the multi purpose uses of it! It's a hunting tool, a drinking straw, a defense weapon, a walking stick, a canteen, let me add one more, maybe a tent pole if you had a tarp. I like how you say you lean from comments---how about this? If you were out in the woods, maybe you could use some pine pitch instead of epoxy. Also like the multi-purpose quiver/canteen
@kbot1990 yellow is for 12-14 gauge wire, but what you really want is to pick whatever fits snugly into your mouthpiece. You can get green onesw this size, but not as easy to find out in the woods after missed shots, the red for 10 guage are bigger. Again, get what fits your mouthpiece
My cousin & I built 6 foot blowguns with water pipe & a pipe fitting for a mouthpiece, Our darts were lengths of stiff wire filed sharp on one end... the other end was wrapped in yarn to make a plug. The extra length really adds to the accuracy. We were inspired by south american indian blowguns.
May be wrong dave but arent you losing power as the mouth peice is a smaller diameter then the barrell?
As a kid used curtain rods and 2 inch nails rolled and taped into a paper cone.Straight into the rod and cut off . the tight ones were the best thats why im thinking you may be losing some. Your the man
Since you mentioned multiple uses, you can also use dried out rye, (or any number of stalky plants/weeds) which could double as tinder, or some fluffed out cotton swabs, which can be burned or even used as part of a fishing lure.
@cryophile The largest game you can bring down with this particular blowgun is probably a rabbit or squirrel with a well paced heart and lung shot. Now if you get into the bigger bore blowguns, such as the .625 caliber cold steel i use, you can easily take game up to groundhog size with a good shot. The .625 blowgun i shoot actually has a mini broadhead about 3/8 of an inch wide on it with a 6 inch shaft. Hope this helps even though i did get off topic a bit.
so helpful used the same materials and got a kill on a small buck. since my dad had a little poison from finding a snake about a day ago and i dipped the skewers in it and it took 6 shots until the deer fell after running. very worh the money will get you a good lookin trophy in your room so yea thnx dave and i usually always watch every episode of u and the other dude with no shoes. so again thnx and kit
I would suggest getting some green florist foam (oasis) and cutting a round slug to put at the bottom of your tube so the darts will stick in it and not rattle around while you sneak thru the woods. Cheap Trick.
I built one and came up with a couple simple and effective additions to make it more functional. Using your para cord & sending a double strand down the neck & a loop out the end it makes a dandy snake wrangling stick.
If you get am 8"+ long x 1/4" thick nail & grind down the head so it fits inside the cap, you can store it inside the pole with the cap securing it in place & if needed, take it out, slip it through the mouth piece & screw in place to use as a fairly decent javelin.
Wow, Dave I LOVE Watching Your TV Programs and Now YouTube, Wish I could Come to Ohio for School...I am in California!! i SWEAR I KNOW You, Did You ever Live in Pompano Beach, Florida?? We are FB Friends, so You COULD Contact me there!
@MrXuebot With a blowgun you have to just keep both eyes open and put the object you are trying to hit between the two barrels you see. Then all you have to do is learn to move the muzzle up or down to compensate for the drop of the dart. After a while you will get used to different differences and you can be quite accurate with one. I killed a squirrel with my Cold Steel blowgun just a few days ago.
I have a cold steel, collapsible big bore blow gun on the way, can't wait, the tree rats in my neighborhood won't be stealing bird food anymore, and I can't take it backpacking.
Hay Dave, thanks for sharing. Reminds me of the blow gun I made as a kid ,same thing except we made the darts with nails and used tape for the cone at the end of the dart. The nails wer sharpened on a grinder and they would go deep into wood. I can see how the longer darts would be moor affective and you can also make sum brood heeds that can be attach to the wood darts for killing game faster.
@ikilluwithguitar... Hey man show some respect, don't put stupid comments on videos. @DaveCantetbury I hope I spelled your name right just wanted to say good job on the videos.
i modified the darts and found i had better penetration and accuracy. what i did was i used wire connectors with the wings trimmed off. i then used large bamboo sticks, about 8 inches i believe, and i used the whole bamboo skewer. as for the gun itself, i have two 2 ft. peices of PVC with a coupling in the middle with end caps to use the pipe as containers. the darts seem to fly more like arrows if made this way and are good up to 12 ft from my own experience. the darts get 4 inch penetration.
my first blowgun was a curtain rod, with a mini M&M canister as a mouth peice, and i use bamboo screws and paper cones, it use to get rusty in the mild from all the spit
thanks man i might make one another type of dart thats also made with common items its a needle stuck throw the end of a shoe lase with some of the regular shoe lase frayed/messed up or puffed up then stick the needle throw it and it looks cool and its leathal for survival
lol is it not funny how everything works out in thi video perfectly but if anyone else tried it somethings wud be to big or too small, i think he had too much preperation time
Dave we love everything you do. another idea that i use on mine is... i put o-rings around it to help in tracking. you can place an o-ring at the first toe kick and then another at the next one and use it as a gauge to find the next one. congrats on all your success
coodnt get the wire nuts to work so i tried a little bit of electrical tape at the nock end of the skewer and then put the cotton ball on the dart n some more electrical tape at both ends of the cotton ball so it will last a little bit longer n they shoot good but it mkes the velocity slower. i still git about 3 inches of penetration on a cheap turkey target
Wire coat hangers also make an excellent choice (cut with tin snips or the like) instead of bamboo skewers for the "shaft" of the dart.
Also- the blowgun CAN be effective for E&E against human-sized targets. Sulfur (like dusting sulfur for roses at the garden center), cause incredible pain if they find their way into an open cut or wound (the KGB used to use this as an interrogation technique, I've heard). Apply it to a dart- and they WILL break off their pursuit.

hi Dave, i have made a common mans blowgun and I have found that instead of wire nuts 5/8 cork plugs work much better. Snugger fit better accuracy and less weight for longer shots. Almost as good as my .625 big bore blowgun.
just a thought, in my city alone i know of two stores that sell quality blowguns for like 5 bucks. they come in three different sizes and there is also a huge variety of different kinds of darts.
Are those connectors metal or pvc also, I searched my local hardware stores, and they carry the pipe, but I cant find the schedule 80 fittings in the right sizes. Mostly just copper or galvanized

I have made his blow gun and a lot of different darts I can tell you that the cap is too heavy. I make my cones out of jute twine and gorilla glue. Basically I use the electrical cap and wrap the twine over it and than i coat the twine with the glue. After it sets it take off the twine and place it on the bamboo dart. Than I add some glue into the cone and let that cure. Than you just need to shape it to just barely fit the tube and trust me you will be amazed on the difference it will make.
i dunno what those yellow things are or where to get them so i used foam ear plugs, worked a treat at a short distance for long distance i did a few wraps of electrical tape just under the ear plugs, the extra weight seemed to help it fly better over distance. I got the dart to stick into a tree from 15 feet away with only a 10 inch bit of pipe.
wrap a piece of duct tape around the bottom of the wirenut..so about 1/3 is on the wirenut ,fold the other 2/3 on itself..almost like fletching...it effectively seals the gap between the wirenut and inside of the barrel...
The problem is that the fletching always makes quite a loud noise when you shoot. When the dart goes down the barrel it hits the gap between the two pieces and makes an awful noise. So much for stealthy...
if you use nails instead of skewers it is less chance of breaking and if you use paper and roll it into a cone around the nail and then tape it plus cut it to fitt the inside of the barrel it is more acurate.
I went hunting with a 1 piece 7 foot long blowgun I made out of metal conduit(before I saw this) and The darts were pieces of sharpened metal coat hanger with duct tape cone fletching. I shot a rabbit and the dart went straight through the neck and I chased it for 30 minutes and I lost it. I think it went in to smoothly or something because its really sharp. If I use blunt darts do you think it would kill faster.
dave after i saw this video i couldnt help myself i had to make one i decided to use an old pvc tube about 2 ft long unfortunately i havent had the time to head down to the store to pick up the rest of the supplies like the skewers or mouthpiece so what i decided to do was to use bigger gauge sewing needles and construction paper to make my darts this actually worked fantastic and it is dead accurate i appreciate the video thank you

I made one like this 30 years ago 'cept I used the spokes off an old ten speed wheel as the darts. Killed rats, snakes, mice and a couple of fish(which I ate).
if i can make a suggestion, if you take a piece of small dowel rod to make your darts, and take a hack saw and make a notch about a 1/4 of an inch down on one end, then take a cheap exacto disposable razor (the one where you snap off the ends to get a new sharp razor) break off a piece of the razor and insert with super glue into the notch, you have a broad head razor dart
Blowgun aiming tip: to aim your blowgun accurately (left to right) hold it up to your mouth and look with both eyes open down the barrel "at" your target in doing so you should see 2 ends to your blowgun.

hi Dave, i have made a common mans blowgun and I have found that instead of wire nuts 5/8 cork plugs work much better. Snugger fit better accuracy and less weight for longer shots. Almost as good as my .625 big bore blowgun.

just a thought, in my city alone i know of two stores that sell quality blowguns for like 5 bucks. they come in three different sizes and there is also a huge variety of different kinds of darts.

hay dave i have a idea for free metal dart if you have a old bike cut the spoke and sherpen them to a point then apoxy them to it to the wire nut.

Are those connectors metal or pvc also, I searched my local hardware stores, and they carry the pipe, but I cant find the schedule 80 fittings in the right sizes. Mostly just copper or galvanized

mememememe82 1 year ago
best way to aim with a blowgun is to open both eyes and the gun will double in vision so you put wht you want to hit in the middle of those 2 visions

I have made his blow gun and a lot of different darts I can tell you that the cap is too heavy. I make my cones out of jute twine and gorilla glue. Basically I use the electrical cap and wrap the twine over it and than i coat the twine with the glue. After it sets it take off the twine and place it on the bamboo dart. Than I add some glue into the cone and let that cure. Than you just need to shape it to just barely fit the tube and trust me you will be amazed on the difference it will make.

i dunno what those yellow things are or where to get them so i used foam ear plugs, worked a treat at a short distance for long distance i did a few wraps of electrical tape just under the ear plugs, the extra weight seemed to help it fly better over distance. I got the dart to stick into a tree from 15 feet away with only a 10 inch bit of pipe.

@garrett2119 it allows you to put more power behind it. the longer the better but you don't want the inner volume to exeed your lung capacity.

wrap a piece of duct tape around the bottom of the wirenut..so about 1/3 is on the wirenut ,fold the other 2/3 on itself..almost like fletching...it effectively seals the gap between the wirenut and inside of the barrel...

546hunter 1 year ago
The problem is that the fletching always makes quite a loud noise when you shoot. When the dart goes down the barrel it hits the gap between the two pieces and makes an awful noise. So much for stealthy...

this blowgun is so good
546hunter 1 year ago
if you use nails instead of skewers it is less chance of breaking and if you use paper and roll it into a cone around the nail and then tape it plus cut it to fitt the inside of the barrel it is more acurate.
stickdood123 1 year ago
I went hunting with a 1 piece 7 foot long blowgun I made out of metal conduit(before I saw this) and The darts were pieces of sharpened metal coat hanger with duct tape cone fletching. I shot a rabbit and the dart went straight through the neck and I chased it for 30 minutes and I lost it. I think it went in to smoothly or something because its really sharp. If I use blunt darts do you think it would kill faster.

dave after i saw this video i couldnt help myself i had to make one i decided to use an old pvc tube about 2 ft long unfortunately i havent had the time to head down to the store to pick up the rest of the supplies like the skewers or mouthpiece so what i decided to do was to use bigger gauge sewing needles and construction paper to make my darts this actually worked fantastic and it is dead accurate i appreciate the video thank you

if i can make a suggestion, if you take a piece of small dowel rod to make your darts, and take a hack saw and make a notch about a 1/4 of an inch down on one end, then take a cheap exacto disposable razor (the one where you snap off the ends to get a new sharp razor) break off a piece of the razor and insert with super glue into the notch, you have a broad head razor dart
