Finding a pool to shoot spearguns is very hard.

It's a date!

that would be a blue water gun , right?
That's not what we're used to seeing when we think of a bluewater gun, but I think it is meant for large pelagics. I didnt' read the website.

Steve Veros is metelin 7 posts up. We got all the good peeps here
I think those are 20mm bands on the big gun. In such a case the mass is warranted but not the shape.

These are some more that I'm going to be working on.

Spearfishing decals stickers are available from Freedive Store - Spearfishing Stickers.
I'm looking for new decal ideas, you can post pics of other spearfishing decals here. If I choose to go with one that you posted I'll send you a free decal of it.
This is the Diver Up decal made from a photo I took.

Damn this kid is sharp. I didn't get it either until you explained it. And it goes back exactly to what I told hau when you guys were here. You don't ask for permission for that sort of thing you just do it <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x"> Although the speargun thing would've obviously been a no no. And now hau you set yourself up for an automatic no for when we just want to get together and try the fins and wetsuits.

Hey Christo. tinu (white boy) on the forum is from TnT.

Then if the back edge looks anything like this it should fit in the omer footpockets. Minor adjustments may need to be made to the length of the tendon rails.

What does the back edge of the C4 Falcon blades look like? Do they have rubber tendon rails?

Joe, wasn't the pic you attached previously is in PDF? I saw it. If it's a PDF file just attach it to the post. I'll make it into a jpg.

and occasionally throw on a bitesuit :dogattack::)

Good vid, awesome ledge, and nice mess of fish in the end.
Yeah monster, there was no tracking necessary there.

It's lamentable. I lost a legal grouper a couple of years ago when it went into a tiny hole after being shot. I saw nowhere for it to go and so let go of the gun to prevent a tear out. He did have a very small hole and dove into it taking the shaft and most of the two wraps of shooting line. It was a tabbed shaft and when I pulled on the shooting line the back end of it toggled on some rock corner. There was no reaching it and so I had to cut the line and leave everything there. The thought of that grouper expiring while skewered and not being able to move in that hole haunts me till today.
BTW I think I figured out a way to salvage such a situation in the future. Keep a long thin PVC tube on the boat, it can double as a flag pole. On such an occasion the shooting line can be threaded through the pipe and the pipe slid all the way down the line to the shaft. Then some leverage can be put on the pipe to dislodge the back end of the shaft. BTW this is the only disadvantage I see to tabbed shafts. Had it been a euro shaft I'd probably be able to pull the shaft and the fish out.

Never. I don't feel it can be done in deep water, in bad vis, and I'd be limited to bottom fish. In the Bahamas was the only time I used a sling, and I rigged it with a shooting line. I got some nice fish like that in open water too.

I like speardivers a lot. I started out with the forum being at floridaspearfishing.world and then speardiverusa.com, speardivers sound even better. Now just add a location to it and something to specify we're not doing it on scuba.
I don't like the idea of diffusing the focus of spearfishers in our area by increasing the number of different clubs. But I agree that the Longfins don't have a format that I fit in. Simply put I find their meetings boring because you can't relax and shoot the shit, the meetings are too rigid, they dedicate this time to talk about club business. On the other hand until I manage to run it differently I shouldn't criticize. Who will take it upon themselves to promise that every meeting will be hosted at their house? I don't think anyone wants this kind of responsibility.
The more I think about it the more it seems that the forum is the perfect format for networking. There's no pressure to provide conditions for meetings. New people that want to get in have to be patient and prove themselves over a bit of time by contributing and demonstrating some stick-to-itivness. Eventually being invited by someone and gaining some cred to be accepted by the rest. In the end few people will really click together to go diving regularly. The truth is that once you have your preferred diving partners you don't want to change unless you're going to a different area.

Exactly Don, a different tribe, nothing to do with what we do.
