How did it go the other day with that meeting you had to leave early to go to Steven? You never called after a couple of hours so I assume things went better than planned. Did you get some incentive?

Shoot me a pm when you're coming and I'll give you my address and # so we can hook up. Fort Lauderdale is like 30 minute drive south from Boca.

This is a vid I made to show what tuned flopper looks like. The premise of a tuned flopper is that it will open easily to a certain point, then once pulled open further it will not close again on its own.

The first part shows that the flopper will open slightly from it's own weight and close easily as it should when the spear leaves the gun. Upon impact with a fish the flopper will open to the sticking point. Then when the fish pulls on it the flopper will open to the maximum position where vibrations from the struggling fish will not close it.

Nice win by Mir. I'm partial to the grapplers I like listening to what Mir has to say, comes across as an intelligent fighter. I'm always looking forward to what he has to bring against the big punchers grappling wise, but now it looks like he's a big puncher himself.

Tremendous determination by Sanchez. He looked nowhere near as relaxed as Penn.

Guida is a wild man! That was some very accurate punching by Florian that finished the fight. I'm sure the blood helped sink in the choke.

Nice view!

The trigger doesn't touch the frame when you pull it?

Interesting handle and trigger guard design. How did you come up with that Jeff?

I saw parts of Inglourious Basterds, couldn't bear watch the whole thing. Had I paid anything for it I'd be upset, as such the 20 cents the blank DVD cost me to burn it is regrettable.

Beautiful. What about the tuna itself, did you make that as well? Seems to me it would take as much work as the whole gun.

If you're talking about the same 9/16 as for speargun bands then it's way too heavy. You're not going to be able to maintain that band pulled and aim properly. I'm not sure about the specs of the rubber for a sling.

I have a new teak stock for that size gun. It's got an enclosed track cut and I have a new Neptonics reef mech and Riffe butt pad I was going to use for this build. You'd have to cut the pocket for the mech, a band slot, and figure out a handle. Along with bands and a shaft. I can sell it to you cheap if you're interested in a project. It will be better than a Riffe because of the enclosed track.

Wow those are big and juicy. Are they difficult to spear? Do they fight hard?

First time I noticed there are two boats in there.

"reminisences"

I can't figure out how you inserted wood into that area which is not uniform. Did you do it from the back or the front of the carbon tube?

Well then lets have a thread showcasing some of your work when you're up to it.

Welcome back Socrates

I read your SB post. I thought you were going to leave without saying goodbye.

At those prices can the average income trinidadian easily buy fish?

Welcome Bretto. Thanks for the compliments on the site. What are those fish in your avatar? They look like California white seabass.

No.
