The BLOW GUNs are traditionally made of swamp cane, and hollowed for the dart to go through. 
To use the blow gun, place the end closest to the inserted dart, and blow as hard as you can
aiming at your target...or "dinner".

The RABBIT STICK is traditionally made of special hickory grown in our home land, that is specially cured, dried and carved to resemble the picture below.  This process is a tradition as well as very detailed and needs great attention, detail and knowledge on the process. 
To use the rabbit stick, simply hold the smaller end of the stick in your [throwing] hand and aim at your target (generally a rabbit) and throw to get your target.

Both of these traditional items are available for sale at our annual gatherings.  Demonstrations are held for our guests of the gatherings to show the youth fun in learning traditions as well as teaching everyone the traditions of our ancestors hunting items.
