Fustration with Pneudart

Hey spiderman



What size threads are you using to put the darts back together???

I got one online. Dont remember where, but wasnt too hard to find. Just have to make sure you get the right size. 50 Cal is a little harder to find. Wasnt too exspensive either. I went too short, 24" if I remember. I'd go twice that if I was gonna do it again.

Well , I am at work and can't go look at the die size now. The first die I used , on the clear bodied darts , took off too much material from the outside diameter of the darts body. The pressure is quite strong when it goes off even if it is just powered by three cap gun caps. I am trying a combination of thread/compression fit now. I took a dart head and cut the needle off so it is a straight through shape. Then I cut threads into this "tube" and used it to cut threads into the dart bodies by turning them through it. The treads have to be of "fine" size to get the most surface area of threads for a good hold. The yellow , soft, plastic darts are just pressed back into the head. I will have to get off my butt and do a pictorial of the process if there is enough interest. Jim

I guess I'll throw my hat into the ring also. Dealing with Pneudart has for the most part been good. One thing though, I ordered darts a waited 3 weeks and no darts. They said they were behind so, no problem. Well it gets to the point where we NEED the darts as someone was coming to buy more deer than we had darts for. He asked if we had darts and we said some but not enough. Well he ordered some that day, paid extra, and had the darts in two days. What's up with that??!!! What happened to my now 4 week old order? I thought they were behind but he got his in two days. To make matters worse, I called and asked about my order and got the same story, they're behind. Well, I wound up paying an extra charge and then got my order in two days!!!! Guess it was kind of stupid on my part paying extra at that point cuz it was a month into it anyway, but, hey, we NEEDED them now! I don't disagree with paying extra to get your order expedited but, i think it's pretty crappy to be a month behind, but for an extra charge they miraculously have the exact things you want right there. Last thing, Henry, 1, 1/2,2 cc-1/2, 3/4 1" tri-port needles with gel collars. We'll buy from you!

If you promised a bred doe to a farm for $4,000 and then someone came and offered you $6,000 for the same doe, what would you do? Well, if you're a man of your word, you'd sell to Farm A for $4,000. If you're a really great farmer, you wouldn't mention to the A buyer that you could have sold her for two grand more. But...if you were the only one who had bred does, you'd have somewhat of a monopoly. This is the reason they can do what they are doing. I'm still waiting for a call, an email, or at least a post from Pneudart to tell me what their defense is to everything written above this post.

What is needed is some old fashioned competition, see it everywhere... if your the only game in town people poilitely ignore the jerk you are until there is a choice..... then you will lose customers even if they have to pay more with the new guy but get what they want when the need it.....it's called service you don't charge extra for it,it's your responcibility,if you can't understand the concept,get out of busniess...... good thing they don't sell toliet paper this way

in the mean time lets not run the current supplier out of bussiness, not sure about you but I need Pneudart... But rather lets ask Pneudart what can you do to help remedy the problems that people are having regading supply and demand.... I know some of you are giving Pneudart every opportunity to respond and remedy the situation...

I agree that we can be upset with pneu-dart all we want, but the fact is we still need them. We must be respectful to the end. I have run off at the mouth about several things in the past, and you know where it got me...NO WHERE!!



I do have a situation that left me completely dumbfounded by Pneu-dart this past week. I friend of mine is ordering a .22 dart gun from pneudart. I have a gun dealer that is a friend. My gun dealer friend just went on maternity leave, she had a baby girl the day before Thanksgiving. Anyways, I told the buyer and pnue-dart that I would take care of contacting the gun dealer to get the FFL faxed over for shipping. When the buyer called to order the gun, they were told the gun was in stock. They gave pneudart their credit card number to pay for the gun and shipping. Well, it took the dealer two days to get the FFL faxed over, because the baby had been sick. In that two days, PNEU-DART sold the last gun in stock and left my friend without a gun, that they thought they had already paid for. I thought that was a really crappy way to treat a customer. I wonder if they charged the other person "EXTRA" to get the last gun?



Pneudart does now have more guns in ready for shipping, but that was beside the point. I was shocked that they would do business that way.

anybody try using cap-chur darts in there pneudart gun?

Yes, and it didn't work worth a darn. I was trying the air inject darts. It was a waste of time and money!! Tried everything. Wasn't a lot of fun for me or the deer.

I use cap-shur type darts in my blowgun and pneudart in my cap-shur type gun , I made a dart gun from a 50 cal. breech plug muzzleloader by making an offset adapter, It's really accurate with the rifled barrel, the one thing on the downside is that it's almost too efficent and even with low power darts the minimum range is 20 yards

Was the problem the air inject part or what. They have the charge style darts.

Got any pics of that custom tranq?

I started with a H&R Huntsman 50 Cal. muzzle loader, had a local shop make an insert that would hold the .22 blank in an offset position so the center-fire firing pin would strike the rim-fire .22 power cartridge. it takes a little shooting to figure out the load for each dart and distance.

you should market that insert.

Curtis, do you have a dimensioned drawing of the insert. I have a lathe and would like to make a few for field trials. Hey who knows, if they work out I might retire and go into production with you. Oh yea, is the insert aluminum?

I had mine made from SS, the rod on the end is a 3" #8 bolt, removable for cleaning the ports so that it shoots more consistantly. Production..... first thing to do is see if the patent is still active each gun is different whether you want to convert your knight, TC, H&R, traditions, cabellas .... etc

Scott I do have the dimensions for mine on a scematic as long as you build for your own use there is no patent infringement I will e-mail them to you
