Distance and accuracy

Sorry if this has been covered before - I’ve been messing around with blowguns for a while and have been wondering what a typical distance is for people to shoot. And what their general accuracy is at that distance. Trying to figure out if I’m hopeless, have something drastically wrong with my dart making, or just need more practice. Thanks!

Just started with the blowgun seriously. I got the 4ft cold steel professional blowgun with all of their darts. In my opinion those cones make all the difference and the bore of the cold steel blowgun is polished glass smooth so you get a really clean release from the end of the barrel. I was never as accurate with my conduit pipe blowgun as I am with this.

I then bought the five foot Tim Wells two piece blow gun and works exactly the same except you get a little more distance out of it at the same flat trajectory. I found myself perfectly flat at 10m with the five foot blowgun and at 8 meters I'm perfectly flat with the four foot blowgun.

Just had my first kill today of a squirrel with their razor darts and it went straight through the squirrel and only the cone stop it. Kill that squirrel dead at 8 meters and going to have a tasty meal tonight.!

Cheers
