I was throwing darts the other night when I had an appifany. This could be a great weapon for grouse. I would say more wounding and killing power than a rock in a sling shot. So we backed it up 20ft and were able to hit 8/12 kill shots. Then we moved the board to ground level and I hit 10/12 kills. Way smaller to pack than a sling shot with rocks while out deer hunting. Now I'm just looking at some mods I can do to the dart to get deeper penetration and a good spot that is accessible and will protect the fetching to store them on me. Lets not discuss the legalities on this one that discussion gets old.
A sling shot is far superior weapon to the dart, a. 45 cal ball comes out of my slingshot so fast and is an instant kill up to 10 yards accurately, I even split a rabbits heart in 2 with a .45 cal ball died in 3ft, don't see how a dart would penetrate. Deep enough to kill even wound enough to kill
I was going to taper where the needle meets the weighted part so it could penetrate deeper.im supprised so many here think it won't kill. I can throw these things with a lot of speed and wouldn't doubt it could go right through a grouse.
If you're that good with darts why not use some throwing knives. Or better yet some ninja stars. Now were talkin. Slice the head right off and leave the meat. All you need is practice. Hahaha
