Description
Made from cane, a plant that is abundant throughout the region, blowguns were typically 7 to 9 feet in length. This weapon was most commonly used to hunt small game like birds and squirrels, and modern usage and experimentation indicates that a blowgun dart can be accurately fired up to 60 feet!
