how can I remove a clog from a weed sprayer?

I took the wand off right at the "trigger" and when I squeeze the trigger the liquid flows out freely so I figure whatever blockage has to be in the wand. Even if I pump the thing up til it's difficult to pump it still just barely sprays (see photo). I tried using an air compressor to blast out whatever is in there but it didn't do anything. What else could get it flowing properly?

    Garret is right. All those twist off nozzles can be taken off and cleaned. Do not do as Bobber suggests and put your mouth on the end and blow the opposite way. Very bad idea . I take mine apart several times a season to make sure it is operating efficiently.

    Take off the nozzle-- it should unscrew an come off, and that is likely where the clog is. Then use a toothpick or wire to clean the area out.
