1. A multi-barrel drill guide, comprising:
an elongated body extending along a longitudinal axis having a proximal end and a distal end with a handle extending from the elongated body; and
a first channel extending from the proximal end to the distal end;
a second channel extending from the proximal end to the distal end at an angle relative to the first channel;
a malleting section extending proximally from the handle;
a convergence area at the distal end where the first channel and the second channel intersect; and
wherein the handle extends from the elongated body between the proximal end and the distal end and the second channel curves in a direction toward the handle.
