If we can't get verbal confirmation from an adult, we will not ship. No Exceptions! We WILL NOT provide any technical support on questions relating to the use of any chemical for the use in animals such as dosage, what type of solution, etc. Each blowjection blowgun and rifle will come with an instruction booklet that will give you dosages for weights and what is best to use in what type of animal.

ABOUT THE DARTS: Type 'P' disposable darts are .50 caliber and were designed to provide a convenient, accurate, inexpensive long range missile for use on small as well as large animals. The 1/2cc and 1cc 'C' and 'P' appear to be identical, but the 'C' dart has a slightly larger diameter tail to engage in the rifling of cartridge-fired rifles. The type 'P' is for the smooth bore C02 Air Guns and Blowjection blowgun. The 2cc through 6cc 'P' darts have a small projection molded on the tail to hold them in other brands of projectors. 'P' darts are available in yellow only.

Darts are available with 14 gauge needles in lengths of 3/8", 1/2", 3/4" 1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2" and 2". Darts 2cc through 6cc have a gelatin collar, but are available with a wire barb. We do not recommend wire barbs or collars on 1/2cc or 1cc darts, but they are available at additional cost. You can purchase the practice darts or disposable darts from our secure shopping cart.

Gelatin collars are used for medicating as well as capture. They will hold the dart in place until the injection is made and after several minutes will soften and the dart will fall from the animal.

As a guide, when ordering darts refer to this chart. This may not apply in all cases but is only suggested for your convenience.

10 to 75 pounds - 1/2" needle length
75 to 150 pounds - 3/4" needle length
150 to 600 pounds - 1" needle length
600 to 1000 pounds - 1-1/4" needle length
over 1000 pounds - 1-1/2" needle length

Darts contain a small explosive charge which detonates on impact and quickly injects the drug. The 1cc dart will usually bounce off the animal, but because of the small quantity of liquid, the injection will be complete. In poor light or shadows, the dart will flash when the explosive detonates.

DRUGS AND THEIR USES: Rompun and Sucostrin (liquid Succinylcholine Chloride) are available through veterinarians and are effective in darts. Use Large animal Rompun which is supplied in 50 ml. bottles with a concentration of 100 mg. per ml.
