I understand you're just making the move to band guns. This fast shot, powerful, rangy gun, all that is dependent on is the two 16mm rubbers you have it rigged with and the weight of the shaft. Any other stick with that band load and the same weight shaft will shoot just as powerful and fast and have the same range.
This Abellan gun looks similar to the gun Johnny said you lent him, which he used when he came out with us. It may be the same gun or not, it doesn't matter because they are both Abellan and I can see that the shape of the stock is similar. I held and fired that gun that day. It's a heavy log, very difficult to track and not suitable for the kind of hunting we do here. You don't need that kind of mass to control recoil from two 16mm bands. If I sound a little curt it's because you've always insisted, albeit in a humorous fashion, on the superiority of the pneumatic. Now you found a wood band gun that is "comparable" Wait till you try one actually made for our waters.
So this is what you are saying.... If you take a railgun for example with the same shaft and length as abellan, and put the same rubbers and stretch, you will get the same power and distance of shot? That's not true.
I don't find the gun difficult to track at all. It is super light in the water and it tracks much better than my mako 120cm.
It's all personal preference and this gun does what i want in a gun.
