The Blow gun was used by many Native American tribes, and very popular within the Creek and Cherokee people. It was used to hunt small game such as rabbit, bird and squirrelThey are made from river cane about 6 to 8 ft long and use darts made from thorn tree or fasshioned straighted limbs. The fleching is made from the Russian Thistle fiber on top of the flower. Because river cane is a jointed plant a coal is dropped in to burn through to the next joint. It is a very interesting tool. Mine I made I built a quiver onto mine as a hand grip hold a dozen or so darts. I use bamboo skewers for my dart shafts. Attachment 10305Attachment 10306
