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. WWW.BLOWGUNS.NET
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... WWW.BLOWGUNS.NET
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 Spearpoint 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.
 
Whats better 1 or 2 piece Blowgun?
 What's better 1 or 2 pce. Blowguns ? It would be a personal choice. For instance, The 36" Black 3 pce. Extreme Trailblazer Is very Compact when broken down, This model also, Features a High Quality Sheath for transport. It is Compact, Not visible, And High Powered. I have noticed there are many people who want the long barrels but can't get them into their vehicles. That's when a 2 pce. comes in handy. Also with an extra mouthpiece you would now have two blowguns for when company stops over. Also a neat little trick Is taking 2 paintball mag clip quivers and attaching your blowgun barrels where the paintball tubes normally go. This makes an excellent transport tool, and keeps your darts and parts in place. Its also used to attach bullet lasers. We sell just the mag clip quivers for .50 ea. Also outside U.S. orders can not exceed 42" in length when shipping. The .50 caliber seems very popular outside U.S.. The .50 caliber Blowgun Features an awesome strong Coupling and works great for a break down unit. Overall If you can get around with a long one pce. that's great. If not the break downs sure have there Advantages, With the Extreme .50 caliber having a Slight Edge. WWW.BLOWGUNS.NET
Blowgun Paintballs
.40 caliber Paintballs have been the standard now In Paintball Blowgunning for many years. They have been a lot of fun and we sure do enjoy them, But now with the .50 caliber Paintballs hitting the market, we have a lot of questions of which Is better. As far as quality, they are both the best. The Paintballs are manufactured by R.P. SCHERER the same company that manufactures the best .68 Caliber Paintballs on the market today. So far In the Sport of Paintball Blowgunning players have had to wear hard chest and back protectors to allow the breakage of the .40 caliber Paintball. The .50 caliber Paintball just may revolutionize the sport. They are quite a bit larger In size and tend to break a lot easier, and need I say a bigger Splat. The Extreme Teflon Treated .50 caliber Blowguns with 35% more power over a .40 caliber Blowgun sure adds a plus In this winning combination. www.blowguns.net
