the ultimate blowgun

Step 7Targets

there are allot of ways you could make a target to practice your blow-gunning techniques without losing all your ammo in the woods. I'll name a few right now.

MAGAZINE TARGET: for hunting/broadhead/practice darts
magazine
printed target scotch tape

take an old magazine or phone book, (phone book being overkill) and tape the pages together at the edge of the magazine. now print off a target, like the small dot target or big target, i recomend the small dot target as it provides more targets that are more challenging
now tape it to the cover of the magazine.

CEREAL BOX TARGET: for hunting/broadhead/practice darts
cereal box
lots of old newspaper
scotch tape
printed target

take an empty cereal box and stuff it full of newspaper. pack it tightly or the darts might just rip through it or get lost in the loose newspaper.
tape the box closed and attach a target like the small dot target or big target

PAPER TARGET: for stun/practice darts
cereal box
scotch tape
printed target

take the cereal box and cut a hole a little smaller than the printed target. now lay the printed target over the hole and tape in place. the dart will rip through the paper and land in the box, only works over long distances.

Be patient, it can take an hour to a week to hone in your skills, don't get frustrated if you cant, after all, it only cost about 10 bucks total

3/4 inch piping will make it very hard to power the dart... especially someone 13...

or, right after or before lunch break on some odd mid-week day that no one has off (ecept you) go to some off brand hardware store (that isn't crowded) and go try the fittings at the store, (or do the opposite and hope no one's into pipe that saterday morning.

hey you said not to shoot at other people but i have a blowgun just like it and its awesome to have wars with them! just use blueberries or whatever u can find and it doesnt hurt unless ur hit in the eye! with my blowgun i can shoot blueberries about 100meters.

nah me and my mate shoot each other with push pins out of straws all the time but weve stopped now (im 13) weve never had an injurie and weve had atleast 50 wars. but i dont advise it because it DOES hurt and if u fired it as hard as u could it may cause injurie
