You know, the photo does indicate wishbones a tiny bit long. I thought we had them at 3 1/2"... perhaps they are a bit longer. For ref, the gun is 2" wide.

Hey guys the wishbones are 4" long. They are tied with wishbone inserts that let you replace the wishbone cord, so with that they needed to be a just a bit longer than normal so you could use multiple bands on on a single shark fin. With the wishbone inserts the user can fine tune the wishbone length by either lengthening or shortening the wishbone cord without having to tie a new band.

If you like when you place an order for a gun we can make your wishbones any length you desire.

Thanks for the compliments we really enjoy building guns.

This gun had some serious power when we took it out for testing. Can't wait to see the fish it kills!
