For just punching paper targets your 42 cal. Is perfect. As for technique I only blow from my diaphragm no curling of the tongue. As for hunting or pest control I use the .625 cal. If I were to make a blowgun I wouldn’t go any bigger than that. I personally haven’t shot one bigger then .625 but I would think you would lose velocity which is not good in hunting.
20 mm blowgun ( caliber .79)
Hello everyone,
one of my first blowguns. Caliber .79 (20 mm). I made the blowgun from a broomstick (aluminum). The tube has 106 cm. (about 3.5 ft). I made the darts out of nails and paper. The cones in the tip are reinforced with superglue. The mouthpiece I made again from a simple small funnel.

Question to the forum, does such a large caliber still make sense? For easy shooting at home on targets?
As for breathing, I try diaphragmatic breathing and then tongue technique
for shooting.
If anyone has any tips I would be open to it?
Greetings
