I used a little elect tape just to keep them secure. I drilled two holes in the top canister the same diameter as the arrow, just slightly at an angle. The tube is a short piece of an arrow with a wood plug in one end, a small hole drilled in the side to allow powder to pass through. I used whatever Doo-dads I could find to slide on the arrow on both sides of the canister to keep the arrow in place.
As for smoked yote, Wildcatter, I peppered that yote last Friday morning with the 20 Gauge #3 buckshot at about 50 yards and I haven't seen him since.
Dang Dawg, Looks like in our younger leaner years, we both went to the same Engineering School: (Arkansas). I've still got that same trickler sitting on the shelf above my loading bench. Only diff. is mines' made out of a piece of electical conduit and an Easton aluminum arrow.
Also, That must have been the same Texas 'yote I saw on the TV news last night. Said a Cop radar recorded him at 186mph still going North with his tail tucked between his legs just outside the city limits of Boulder, Colorado!
