First squirrel will Cold Steel .625 60"

Been getting my practice in with the blow gun. i get about a 3-4" grouping at 15 yards. 30 is still abyssmal, but as my technique becomes consistent it should improve.

Today i made a stun dart shot on a tree'd squirrel - not ready to risk a darted escapee making it over the fence just yet, so i used a stunner inatead.

I shot from 15 yards, inside our second floor nursery and out the window. It hit him with enough force to knock him out of tree. This blow gun makes a hell of a lot of power (for a blow gun).

No, you hit him with enough force to make him jump out of the tree. I hope you are prepared to see a squirrel running around your neighborhood with a dart sticking through his head because that is the direction you are taking this.

I've killed all sorts of birds with the black stun dart plus one squirrel. No risk of it running off that way. I've also taken a ground squirrel with the mini broadhead or spear point.

Ok, now lets talk about the range at which these kills were made and how many animals ran off and were not recovered.

I'm not a fan of cats, but I don't think I'd ever shoot a neighbor's pet - that's just wrong. Plus, the gun just doesn't have the consistency in accuracy for a quick kill, but the stun dart is still comical to watch.

Over the weekend I completed modifying the blow gun by attaching a fishing rod. Tied 6 pound mono-filament to a razor broad head using a nail knot. It doesn't quite have the range for hunting - which would conveniently solve the darted-animal-running-down-the-street problem, but it's still fairly novel.

Don't shoot it into a tree, you lose the dart and have to tie another damn nail knot.
