I don't believe this can be studied "scientifically", there are too many variables. The least of which are how the gun is powered and balanced, never mind angle of shot and how much tracking was necessary to get there. When you watch professionally produced spearfishing videos, of all the very experienced guys, you never see anyone gripping the gun with two hands. Of course it's hard to state confidently from just watching how much tension is in the guy's hand, but they all appear very relaxed. And the handling of the gun after the shot looks familiar to me, so I must conclude they're doing what I'm doing. But to each their own.

I don't agree but I like that someone else put thought into this.

Phil, what are all those colored splotches on the floor?

It's hard to brain a triggerfish sometimes. What you can do instead is cut through the corners of the mouth before you string him, then his mouth muscles are cut and he can't bite you.
Speardiver 1.5mm suits will be available this summer.

When shooting a speargun do you tighten your grip on the handle and try to make like a vice, to control recoil? Or do you relax your hand and let the gun float as you squeeze the trigger? I use a relaxed shooting style. After the gun is positioned and stabilized, I relax my grip and the only pressure on the handle is from squeezing the trigger.

There's a good chance it wouldn't have killed you if it hit you. I wonder if it would've knocked you out. I hope not. But in that case your buddy has a chance to save you. Noting you can do about sailboats, they're silent. But Steven is in tune with the marine environment, you must've felt something right?

It's working like a bow at the same time, bonus!

I do. It gets on the plane instantly.

It's a nice looking gun, leave it as is. Accuracy is shouldn't be affected by this.

Phil, will the machine work on any kind of bend, sharp bends, long bends?
