I am not into this peeing contest, so yall listen up shoot tree rats all u want to with a CB pistol. Next man shoot whatever wild dogs u want. Life is way too short fer all of this. Lets play nice in my sand box or i will take away the sand!:)

8ptbowhunter, It is nothing more than a toy. Buy one and you will see. The difference between a 80lb xbow and 70lb vertical bow is powerstroke. I had the 80 lb bouncing off a target at 15 yards.

You-all could of saved 2 pages if you would of just looked at the pic I posted....it's nothing more then a adult toy,something to pass time with while sitting in the lawnchair having a soda or coffee,my 1966 Daisey BB gun is funner and more accurateto shoot kindof.

I read somewhere a guy used a blow gun. Quiet and light to carry in.
Did he ever get anything with it? I didn't think that a blow gun had enough power to kill anything.
Depends on how much hot air you have! LOL

Blowgun =

1 good straw
2 common pins
1 Q-tip
cut Q-tip in half, incert common pin thru big end(cotten end)so it sticks out of small shaft about 1/2 inch or tape it to shaft(some modifications needed),and wala you have your own cheep blowgun.....Dart board extra...:D.used to have hours of fun and it didnt cost anything..
