Blowgun having tethered projectiles

Abstract

A blowgun system provides a unique and improved method of fishing and hunting. The system can comprise a blowgun having a reel device and tethered projectiles, such as darts, to facilitate retrieval of the projectile and the target (e.g., fish, land animals, etc.) during use.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A blowgun system, comprising:
 a hollow blowgun device having a mouthpiece portion and an expelling portion; and   a reel device coupled to the hollow blowgun device, the real device including a retractable tether line.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , further including a quiver assembly. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the quiver assembly includes one or more attachment mechanisms configured to receive one or more projectiles. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the hollow blowgun device is configured to receive at least one projectile at the expelling portion. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the at least one projectile is a projectile dart. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , further including a one or more projectile darts. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the one or more projectile darts include a shaft member and a barbed end. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the one or more projectile darts include an anchoring element configured to secure with the retractable tether line. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the hollow blowgun device includes one or more eye guide elements configured to guide the retractable tether line. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , further including an extending handle portion. 
     
     
         11 . A blowgun system, comprising:
 a blowgun device having one or more hollow tubular portions, a mouthpiece portion, and an expelling portion;   a reel device coupled to the blowgun device, the reel device including a retractable tether line; and   one or more projectile darts receivable within the expelling portion and couplable with the retractable tether line.   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , further including a quiver assembly. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the quiver assembly includes one or more attachment mechanisms configured to receive the one or more projectile darts. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the one or more projectile darts include a shaft member and a barbed end. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the one or more projectile darts include an anchoring element couplable with the retractable tether line. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the blowgun device includes one or more eye guide elements configured to guide the retractable tether line along the one or more hollow tubular elements. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 11 , further including a handle portion. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 17 , wherein the handle portion is extendable transverse from the one or more hollow tubular portions. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the reel device is a closed face fishing reel. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the one or more hollow tubular portions includes at least two operatively joined hollow tubular portions.
