blow gun hunting
i had a regular run of the mill blow gun back in college with regular
wire type darts. we were out on the front porch drinking beer one afternoon and i shot at a rabbit about 20 yards away. to all of our surprises, i hit it perfectly and it started rolling around and was dead by the time i got over to it. that was the first time we had grilled rabbit, and the last. wasn't bad, but not chicken.
when i was younger on the farm i use to go out at nite in the hog shed and shoot sparrows with the same blow gun during winter. you could get to within 1-10 feet of them and it was an instant kill usually going through them and sticking them to the wood.
i shot a pigeon once in a barn and it was pretty high up. i must admit that when it finally fell, i pulled (8) yes eight darts out of it.
i miss my blowgun.
