What's up everybody? Just found this forum. I've been blowgunning for 40ish years. Started with an empty Bic pen and spit wads in school.😁 It's continued on and off over the years.

I've been back into knife throwing (also a childhood thing) in the last few years, until this last spring. I had a total shoulder replacement surgery in May, which put a temporary hard stop on my throwing anything.
I had some scrap pipe and a lot of boredom. Made a 36" bore pvc gun, and darts from extruded hdpe(spray bottle) and windshield wiper support rails. They work quite well!

Roughly 4" at 22'; not bad for a 1-armed gimp.😁 Knife inserted for scale. I love knives too btw! Harnds just might make the best axis lock that's not a Benchmade, and at a fraction of the price!

Hey, I know you from r/blowguns, I'm the one that was posting about blowgun books lol. Welcome to the forum!

Hehe, awesome! How's things?

Most of my hobbies tend to be gear intensive and/or expensive(skiing, golf, knives). I like that I don't have to spend much, if anything, for blowgun stuff. I like making fun things!

Pretty good, and you?
I try to keep my hobbies cheap, but somehow always end up spending way more than I initially planned. I used to have to make my own blowguns when I lived in California(Read: "found some PVC pipe"). But now that I can actually buy commercial blowguns I've got a nice little collection that I'm growing, gotta have every length and caliber right?
I've been trying to get back into knife throwing, but I'm gonna need a little more practice still.
One of these days I'll get around to making a nice custom blowgun as well as a few traditional ones, but I'm still working on getting my workshop set up right now.
