Indian Blowgun Darts Boost Amazon Hunt Across Tribes
Indian housewives in South America craft deadly blowgun darts for husbands' use. Each 10 inch bamboo dart carries a kapok tuft for air blast, shot from 10 foot guns. Makers use chonta palm husks, pitch glue, fiber bindings, and tapir bone mouthpieces. Guns are dried between trees and polished for rifle-like bore precision. Upper Amazon tribes rely on blowguns for hunting jungle game and meat.
