For those of you who don,t know Pneu Dart has changed the size of their needles and the filler needles that you bought from them won't fit down into

the dart needle to fill. You will have to use a finer filler needle to fill the new darts. Just wanted to let yall know so you don't cut the deer off feed and water for 8 hours and get people to help out to the ranch only to find you were not sold the right equipment to do the job.

Isn't that bad ...I would think it would do more deep trauma forcing the medicine out of a smaller hole...I may be wrong ...just a thought.

Is the hole smaller now if so there is going to be problems it seems you already don't get all the drug out of the needle fast enough as some of it sprays all over as the needle is bouncing off of deer. going to have to use dart with barb for sure now.

I just hope the only answer isn't, It was cheaper for them.

It didn't sound like anyone on here called Pneu-Dart to ask so I just did.

I was told they went to the heavy walled needle to help keep the needles straighter and make them stronger. In part due to the dual porting needles they now offer, and also to give an overall better product.

All you need to have is a 19 gauge needle to fill the darts now. They do offer them in 1 1/2" size right now and they are getting more in that will be longer.
