That's a fat loro Marco, congrats. How come the loro has brown spots, what did end up weighing, and how was it to eat?

It sure would be nice for everyone to get together but we're not exactly a club. We usually get together to go diving and this happens as often as conditions allow. But no it's never everyone. There are a few different crews here centered around the owner of the boat. The best way to get together is go diving. A big meeting would be nice like I said but it's an organizational challenge I'm not willing to undertake myself. If someone else wants to I'm game but it just seems that diving is the preferred activity when free time is at a premium as opposed to sitting around drinking beer.

Or you could do the screw and a couple of bands. The screw would make sure it sits in the correct spot and the bands will take the stress off.

Thanks for the pics Marco. I always was hesitant to use that one screw hole even though it has a little SS plate. I figure with the recoil there's just too much stress at one point with the plastic being so brittle.

Do you consider pipe band guns and wood band guns the to be the same when you talk about the negative aspects (like recoil) of band guns?

Small pneumatics to fire in poor vis and close range are easily dominant. You can load them way faster and they cut through the water like a knife.
I was looking more for the cut through the water like a speeding steel 7mm shaft effect <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
How much shaft overhang do you like for your pneumatics Harry?

You must be referring to this title on that site Bluewater Tuna shot with pneumatic. When I click on it I get "The resource you have requested is available to Paid Subscribers Only. If you are a Paid Subscriber please login." Still, it goes to show you how rare it is if they're making a big deal of it

Welcome to the forum Harry
Boo!!!
Pneumatics are great!
They move better through the water than any bandgun!
:thumbdown1: Muzzle heavy!
Way cheaper to maintain! Bands cost more than orings! Even though, i dont replace any orings internally.
When you buy band material in bulk it costs next to nothing to make your own bands. This way you can control the power on the gun for your needs with diameter and length. Much easier to replace than taking the pneumatic apart and recharging it after. Any deterioration in the bands is visible so you know it's time to replace.
Very little recoil!
A properly powered band gun has very little recoil. If you want to increase power without recoil just increase the mass of the gun. Can you use a pneumatic to hunt 300lb tuna?
Small pneumatics easily have the edge over small bandguns
Not in my experience as I described in one of my previous posts.
Easier to attach video camera
What can be easier than a couple of screws to attach to a wood gun?
Plenty of power and fast shaft speed
Wouldn't be much point to it if it didn't have that considering all the other disadvantages <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
Add a sealing kit to a long pneumatic and you have yourself an underwater recoiless canon! 5m+ shots!
Why would you need to add something to an already perfect weapon <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">

Thanks. I'll confirm the measurements and post back.

Very impressive achievement by Harolf, congratulations.
I was hoping to see a pic of Harolf but they didn't put one up. They did have this though

I think I want the arm and the piece of neoprene and the captive knob. I'm not going to mess with the trigger and will just screw it into the wood.
-
Sweet. :cash: ??

I'd like to own dogs that will protect me against robbers, not be worried that robbers will steal my dogs.

Beautiful clean work as always Jeff. I was just about to ask for you to make me one then I remember I use a wood gun. Maybe I can just use the aluminum arm without the clamp?
Hau, Tin Man's Spanish is probably rustier than yours
BTW It's "muchas gracias" gracias is female. -
Very nice Cubera and black John. Looks like that Crist spear is doing a good job. Are you in the Bahamas now?

Anybody heard the term escape artist before pertaining to a dog? If you didn't this refers to a dog that will go to great lengths to escape from a kennel, crate or anywhere else you want it to stay. Some of these dogs escape from places that you are left breaking your head thinking how he did it in order to fix it so it won't happen again. This particular dog, looks like a beagle, takes the cake. I've heard about beagles escaping but never imagined that this kind of dexterity is possible in a dog. It's great that it was caught on video. Monster Slayer sent it to me.

That bump on my dog's head is so big I'd think it was photoshopped if I didn't take the pic myself.. Seems that you and your family go a long way for the dogs. I don't believe in such a place as heaven but bonding with a dog is very real to the point that life without it may be difficult. Unfortunately I haven't felt this in a long time. I had a hard time finding a dog that will guard the house well, be of a physical type that I like and at the same time not manifest some negative traits which I can't look past. So I didn't allow myself to get attached to a dog for a long time. I'll probably be returning the rott to the breeder soon as I don't like her temperament and I can't sell her due to the bump on her head. Investing in surgery to remove the bump so I can sell her is not something I want to deal with.
