Building a Better Blowgun
~ Small Game Hunting ~
I have spent over 15 years hunting with blowguns. I found the standard .40cal with wire darts unsuitable for hunting, so I set out to make a more effective blowgun for dispatching game. I've found almost nothing else on the internet about serious blowgun hunting, so I decided to create this page. It contains, most importantly, instructions on how to build your own 7' blowgun with razor-broadheaded darts. This is much more than the toy blowguns you see for sale, it is a serious tool for hunting small game.

Daniel Mannix's book  "A Sporting Chance" (1967) is the only book I have found that deals with serious blowgun hunting. It is out of print, so I have made the blowgun chapter available for download either from HERE or from the Alternate Link.
