    Very nice. How was the viz?


    Is that the chub's ghost in the pic? <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">


    No mamba kit. I have a 70cm cyrano that's rigged for shooting close around artificial structure. It's quite nose heavy and since I have to carry it in the ready to shoot position it takes a toll on my wrist. I figured a shorter shaft would help a little.

    What length overhang works well for you with a pneumatic gun? I'm set with an overhang of 13" for band guns but due to the different physics involved with a pneumatic accelerating a shaft I'm thinking the same rule doesn't have to apply. I don't shoot enough with pneumatics to experiment and find out on my own so I'd like some opinions.


    I remember my first Mares Cyrano 970 being very accurate with a stock shaft which had normal overhang. When buying a shaft for a pneumatic at SW they have the lengths set at about 12" overhang. The pneumatic tends to be nose heavy. I heard that Greekdiver has just enough overhang to clear the flopper past the muzzle. If the gun remains accurate and there are no other disadvantages this would seem ideal to me due to less weight being at the front of the gun. On the other hand with a short gun this reduces the weight of the shaft and could affect the punch. Can the overhang be minimal for a short gun as well?

    I just saw Anthony Bourdain's No reservations Mexico. The food looked incredible, great honest show. Why can't we have this kind of food here in the US? In Israel we have shawarma on street corners very similar to the Mexican style "al pastor". I've said before I don't like Mexican food but that's just because I only knew what's available here. I don't need to taste what I saw on the show, I can tell it's awesome so I take it back.

    Welcome to the forum sdr. Feel free to start a thread about any question you may have in the appropriate section. More people will be likely to see it that way and you may get a few answers. I'm not sure what you mean by sinus squeeze.

    Net $15 at Bass pro (tipped off by hau) otherwise a few online places sell them. Flag holder is just a piece of correct diameter fuel hose glued into the board.

    If you're using Dyneema for wishbones the easiest way IMO would be to cut a shallow notch although that will weaken the shaft. It will rust nicely at that point. All the other things you mentioned will go the way of your tab.

    I'm just laughing about fishkabobz' posts. The guy is like in panic "call him.. call him". Sorry I didn't respond before monster, I was going to and forgot.

    It's a very personal thing. I can understand your way Rolo and I can also understand the other guys' way. I remember in Cuba sometimes I'd weigh myself to be negative at the surface. The fish were so few and sketchy I needed to be able to sink with hardly any kicking. Of course this was in shallow water. Nowadays I hit the glide at about 45ft. Sometimes I feel bad about it because I really like that feeling and don't get to experience it for longer than 15-20ft.

    Watcha talking bout' philis? Reinforce the board to hold a flag? What kinda' winds are you expecting? For other applications I'd think you get a reinforced sharp hole.


    Projectile, nice first try. I like the red motif, this way for sure the boats will zoom by closer to check you out LOL I believe there are certain advantages to doing it another way without much more effort or expense.

    I'm fine now thanks.


    Lunkerbuster, those are some good observations. I am proud of the progress of the dog, he's come a long way in a short time. Also the breed from my experience doesn't often show this kind of potential. Targeting is the next step. This is where the dog learns to bite protective gear that the man is wearing.
