It is well-accepted in the veterinary medicine field as a safe, effective, and economical method for tranquilization and treatment of animals. The World's First User-Friendly Blowpipe with Safety Mouthpieceįor shorter distances, a blowpipe like the TeleDart B11 directly below is the right instrument to choose. Make sure that no persons or pets are around, and that the dart lands away from you.A TeleDart blowpipe lets you safely perform animal immobilization and medical treatment, working from a distance. If you don't, the dart won't fly straight.(Trust me, I know what I'm talking about.) Test the dart by throwing it up in the air in front of you and let it fall to the ground, if it lands sticking in the ground pointed down every time then you have a good dart. Note: If you used a skewer, it needs to be more front heavy, make the dart longer and add less glue. 5)hot glue is cheap, and sold nearly everywhere. If you use just a dot of super glue, the cone collapses in when you shoot at cardboard or sodacans because there is nothing inside the cone to help hold its shape. (the difference is like that of throwing a small rock or a ping pong ball, the rock will go further, and hit harder) 4)the cone is weak. 2)the glue is strong 3)the glue gives it more mass in the back so the distance and penetration is better. 1) the glue is fast to harden so less down time. I found that of all glue, hot glue is the best to use for several reasons.
BLOW DART GUN CODE
You can use the lid of milk jugs as well for colored cones that are easier to see, or to color code different sizes of darts. You can go even further by sharpening the end to a point(see picture) for better penetration.
BLOW DART GUN PROFESSIONAL
Now you have a professional looking dart, that lives up to its name.
put a glob of hot glue about 3/8 an inch down from the cone end of the wire and pull it into the cone, drop some more hot glue in the cone on the wire and fill about 1/2 an inch up, then line up the cone with the wire (may be off a bit, but looking down from the top of the cone the stub of wire can be straightened inside to keep it uniform), and let the glue solidify.
Back to the action, cut the cone right at the bottom of the marker line so almost none is visible, then slide the finished cone onto the wire you cut to size. A 10 foot long dart might be to big for hunting squirrels. The big reveal! //Warning! Hot glue is (obviously) hot, and sevier burns could occur.// Cut to size a section of stiff wire, I recemend 5-1/2 inches as a good length but you could make it as long or short as you want. Other supsitutes include, but aren't limited to: wire coathanger, large finishing nails(very heavy, but if you are a scuba diver then this may be good for you), pen ink cartriges(if you're desperate), and bamboo skewers(great for disposable one off darts or if you want bio-degradable darts, but may require different cone for that one to completely degrade). List: 1)sissors 2)stiff wire cutters 3)hot glue gun 4)hot glue refills 5)measuring stick 6)cold root beer 7)permanent marker 8)gallon jug(must be hdpe#2 plastic, but most are) 9)0.0625 music wire(or those mini wire flags sold at hardware stores for construction) 10)paper 11)tape 12)plaster of Paris 13) skewer or popsicle stick 14) your blowgun (needed to size the dart cones and straightener big) 15)A lighter or heatgun 16) patience, and persistence (super glue in picture not needed) Note: The wire I use is great because it is light and stiff, but may not be available to you.

Feel free to skip to the procces and come back to this later for your build. You won't get very far without the materials to make these, so I have made a list of what I used and wrote it down here for convenience.
