Ive watched a good few of the blowgun vids, and I was surprised by how limited the range was on them. So am surprised they are banned in certain states. TW certainly seems some character, but living the dream and travelling and making money out of something he loves to do. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or are they illegal in your state mate When I was younger. Use to make them from PVC pipe bamboo skewers and other odds and ends. Crazy how accurate and powerful they can be. Should probably get back into it a little with the pieces of theses nice ones now days Mississippi is pretty liberal as far as game laws so should be ok to use it on at the least , small game Edited April 12 by Wolfdog91 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

From what I can see from TW vids. You would have to get very very close to your quarry to have any success. I would imagine optimum field craft. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mackem 26,244 Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 I just visited the only bow shop in the UK with a strong bow hunting vibe,great place,the owner is restringing my bow when my GAS string arrives from the states,he was saying he is probably closing the shop and going over to online sales as business isn’t so good,we chatted about the bloke who shot the copper with a Crossbow this week and how it’s probably a nail in the coffin for legit toxophilites. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looks an awesome shop and such a shame he is closing the shop and going online only, I would much much prefer to spend my hard earned cash in small business owners shops like this to keep them alive then on Amazon ect. I could spend hours in there looking and asking him questions on archery. Didn't see the copper crossbow incident this week. But will be used as a nail in the coffin for bow sports I'm sure . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
