A method of boring through a formation includes providing a drilling machine and drill string and operatively coupling an earth bit to the drilling machine through the drill string. An air flow is provided through the drill string at an air pressure less than about one-hundred pounds per square inch
A method of boring through a formation includes providing a drilling machine and drill string and operatively coupling an earth bit to the drilling machine through the drill string. An air flow is provided through the drill string at an air pressure less than about one-hundred pounds per square inch (100 psi) and an overstrike force is applied to the earth bit, wherein the overstrike force is less than about five foot-pounds per square inch (5 ft-lb/in2).

1. A method of boring through a formation, comprising: operatively coupling an earth bit to a rotary head through a drill string, wherein the rotary head applies a weight-on-bit to the earth bit through the drill string; andapplying an overstrike force to the earth bit, wherein the overstrike force
1. A method of boring through a formation, comprising: operatively coupling an earth bit to a rotary head through a drill string, wherein the rotary head applies a weight-on-bit to the earth bit through the drill string; andapplying an overstrike force to the earth bit, wherein the overstrike force is in a range of about one foot pound per square inch (1 ft-lb/in2) to about five foot pounds per square inch (5 ft-lb/in2). 2. The method of claim 1, further including applying the overstrike force to the earth bit at a rate in a range of about eleven-hundred (1100) times per minute to about fourteen-hundred (1400) times per minute. 3. The method of claim 1, further including adjusting the overstrike force in response to adjusting a fluid flow through the drill string. 4. The method of claim 3, further including adjusting an amplitude and/or frequency of the overstrike force in response to an indication of a penetration rate of the earth bit through the formation. 5. The method of claim 1, further including providing an air flow through the drill string at a rate in a range of about one-thousand cubic feet per minute (1,000 cfm) to about four thousand cubic feet per minute (4,000 cfm). 6. The method of claim 1, further including providing an air flow through the drill string at a pressure less than about one-hundred pounds per square inch (100 psi). 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the weight-on-bit is in a range of about one-thousand (1,000) pounds per square inch of hole diameter to about ten-thousand (10,000) pounds per square inch of hole diameter. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the overstrike force is applied to the earth bit with a hammer assembly. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the hammer assembly operates in response to a flow of fluid through the drill string. 10. A method of boring through a formation, comprising: providing a drilling machine and drill string;operatively coupling an earth bit to the drilling machine through the drill string;providing an air flow through the drill string at an air pressure less than about one-hundred pounds per square inch (100 psi);providing an air flow through the drill string at a rate in a range of about one-thousand cubic feet per minute (1,000 cfm) to about four-thousand cubic feet per minute (4,000 cfm); andapplying an overstrike force in a range of about one pound per square inch (1 psi) to about four pounds per square inch (4 psi). 11. The method of claim 10, further including adjusting the overstrike force in response to an indication of a penetration rate of the earth bit through the formation. 12. The method of claim 10, further including adjusting the overstrike force to achieve a desired penetration rate. 13. The method of claim 10, further including adjusting the penetration rate of the earth bit through the formation by adjusting at least one of an amplitude and a frequency of the overstrike force. 14. The method of claim 10, further including applying a weight-on-bit to the earth bit through the drill string, wherein the weight-on-bit is in a range of about thirty thousand pounds (30,000 lbs) to about one-hundred and thirty thousand pounds (130,000 lbs). 15. A method of boring through a formation, comprising: operatively coupling an earth bit to a rotary head with a drill string, wherein the rotary head applies a weight-on-bit to the earth bit;providing an air flow through the drill string at an air pressure between about forty pounds per square inch (40 psi) to about one-hundred pounds per square inch (100 psi);providing an air flow through the drill string at a rate in a range of about one-thousand cubic feet per minute (1,000 cfm) to about four-thousand cubic feet per minute (4,000 cfm); andapplying a time varying overstrike force to the earth bit, wherein the time varying overstrike force is applied with a force that is less than about five pounds per square inch (5 psi) and a frequency that is less than about fifteen hundred (1500) times per minute. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the time varying overstrike force is applied to the earth bit with a hammer assembly. 17. The method of claim 15, further including adjusting an amplitude of the time varying overstrike force in response to an indication of a penetration rate of the earth bit through the formation. 18. The method of claim 15, further including adjusting a frequency of the time varying overstrike force in response to an indication of a penetration rate of the earth bit through the formation. 19. The method of claim 15, wherein the time varying overstrike force is in a range of about 1.2 pounds per square inch (1.2 psi) to about 3.6 pounds per square inch (3.6 psi).
