COLD STEEL 4 FOOT .625 BLOWGUN BIG HORN HUNTING WEAPON

The blowgun (cold steel blowguns) or blowpipe stretches the globe and has a long history. Many authorities assume it was first invented in Malaysia, where it spread to the Philippines and as far north as Japan through the Malaysian and Indonesian archipelagos. However, the blowgun was not only a south-eastern weapon; it also emerged in the jungles of South and Central America in the western hemisphere, spreading as far north as the southeastern United States. Initially, blowguns were invented to act as a tool for hunting. They were used to bag small animals and birds, with bullets being used for small stones or hardened clay pellets.Ultimately, by using thin wooden darts that were laced with deadly poisons, most hunters found that they could take far larger animals. The poison was extracted from the sap of vines which were specially cultivated.Huge caliber blowguns have an effective range of up to 20 yards or more, like our .625 Magnum. A professional user can strike a two-inch circle at incredible distances with practice, producing a heavyweight dart. That's a payload that can easily be penetrated by a half-inch sheet of plywood. An skilled hunter can take small games such as doves, quails, squirrels and rabbits in complete silence without chance of penetration or errant darts hitting livestock or humans in the distance with accuracy and range like this.It's great fun to fire a blowgun. It is an activity that, in sunny or inclement weather, can be enjoyed indoors or out. Blowgun skills will lead to many inexpensive hunting experiences and place you in good stead in situations of survival or self-defense. Try our latest .625 Magnum Big Bore and you will soon find yourself addicted to the joy of shooting the most powerful blowgun in the world!
