Ok, spent the day with a good friend of mine and managed to grab some supplies for building. I pieced together a
pvc blowgun and we tried to make some darts but they didn't work all that well.
What I did, was buy some mariette connectors, and we drilled a small hole in which to insert some spring steel antenna
wire, using this as the dart. What was happening, on half the shots taken was the mariette was hitting the wood target we were
using, instead of the dart, and broke the plastic mariette and would render it useless.
My question is does this half to do with balance and weight? Why would the mariette hit the target instead of the dart? More
weight perhaps needed, aka, longer dart portion? Any help appreciated.
