Welcome Jos.

Some Florida regulations here Getting a drone for Christmas? Here's how to stay out of trouble with the law | Tampa Bay Times

Actually it was the drone footage that made me ask you the question, as I was surprised to see it. I found a drone in the water off Fort Lauderdale beach. I know it was in the water for only two hours, but the person I gave it to said it couldn't be fixed. I understand now it's not an uncommon occurrence. Another friend of mine that got a drone to market real estate, told me he crashed the drone and that it's not easy to control.

Great/professional videos. Did you do all the filming?

Will you have internetz in Thailand Hank? I would miss your stories

Strange, so is south Florida today after what seems like months of rough seas.

Welcome to the forum Mark. Where in Cuba do you dive?

Nice, good times.

Welcome to the forum Julio.

I thought you were going to swim to your boat

Thanks. I wouldn't have been able to explain it the way you did, the test just made sense to me.

I like how the color scheme is back to the old Cyrano. The original Mares Cyrano was my first speargun and I had a lot of fun with it. I was lucky to start with that gun not knowing anything about spearguns at that time. Now that the Evo version which was plagued with problems is apparently in the rear view mirror, I'm ready to fall in love with the Cyrano again and get back to my spearfishing roots.

The Mares Cyrano 1.1 HFT is now available in the US from FreediveStore.com https://spearfishing.store/456…t-pneumatic-speargun.html

In low vis conditions, where a short powerful speargun like a pneumatic fits nicely, the gun must be carried in the ready to shoot position. Because fish appear and disappear quickly. That's when I felt my wrist getting tired using a nose heavy pneumatic, even a relatively light one like a Mares Cyrano.

A pneumatic is normally already front heavy, which makes holding in the ready to fire position difficult over the course of a day. Anything to reduce the weight helps. Also straightening a 7mm shaft is easier.

BTW looks like he's Russian.

Can it be adapted to use a 7mm shaft?

Wow! What was the distance to the target?

What shaft diameter is it meant to work with?

Thanks for the plug

I didn't know anything about Corvina so I looked it up. Anything you want to add Marco?

The corvina, also known as the corvina drum (Cilus gilberti), is a saltwater fish of the Sciaenidae family (commonly called croakers or drums). It inhabits mostly tropical to temperate coastal waters of the southeastern Pacific along Central and South America.[citation needed] The corvina is highly prized in South America as a food fish.

Hey nice tat!

If you mean a slip-tip sure, it's just a matter choosing a threaded shaft just like a speargun.

See this thread http://spearfishing.world/spea…igging-shooting-line.html. Just measure your draw and put the hole in the spear a little ahead of the sling. For me the Koah side sling is the best sling Koah Side Sling MX. It already has an attachment point for the shooting line at the bottom of the handle. Also I have something similar to tennis elbow in my sling holding arm, and I feel pain when I stretch a conventional sling. The side sling requires extending the arm in a different way and I get no pain with it.
