I agree w Jerry. I have much more apprehension about the shaft
To dans point. If I were a jetsetting business man who travelled a lot to separable locals, I could see this being my only gun an in that case, quite a great tool
Since the pull is more or less straight back with some vector to the vertical, I would consider joint designs that provide more vertical support, the Riffe looks like it is horizontally braced
I have heard a lot on forums about Omer gear failing but nothing but positive comments about the service.
Nice work jeff. That is a very cool idea and flawlessly executed.
I should have included it
Wow is right Don. But not for the brass, for your perspective. I am in awe. I think you hit the nail right on the head. Reminds me of Tono's pic from the "inshore report" w the hunting party all holding the fish
Welcome. Where r you in Philly? I have my gma in phoenixville, right by valley forge.
wow...if they were that wrong today i might have to try and dive tomorrow
My love for this sport is so deep that I don't consider it a sport

x2...i was thinking to myself...wow, that sounds hard to screw up <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
Dan I am not sure if your comment was directed at me? I agree with your comment so I hope it wasn't. I am not trying to make up any issues, I was only stating that issues that effect the reputation of spearos is all that concerns me, not comp freediving allegations...I should have been more clear.
My love of this sport is so deep that I do take it very personally when anyone does something that might effect MY rights to enjoy this amazing activity in the amazing oceans. I am not one to be insulting or flippant, but I will call someone out for putting my hobby at risk..I AM NOT SAYING THIS IS WHAT HAS HAPPENED HERE...just to be clear.
Gamble, that video is amazing..you guys have some really good diving ability to be hitting 100 in that spot...I really love the shots where you are breakingthe surface on ascent...it is so rare to have anything above the surface other than a boat or some clouds..it is a rare treat to see beautiful northern Fl trees and foiliage as background.
thanks for sharing
eric, would you please post a pic of the results on your ONE? thanks
i agree with Dan here...i have had some great AJ, mostly smoked <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x"> but some was grilled and it was quite tasty.
to be clear, the only stance I have is against anything that is done selfishly and carelessly that tarnishes our sport and access to the oceans.
i have to ask one thing in this thread...what is the better position to take? to be on the fense about something that is of some, but mostly little, concern to me or to voice an opinion that is not well educated?
I dont really like either scenario...I do know that anyone who holds themsleves out to be a celebrity at any activity will gather a lot of haters in the process and is subject to A LOT more scrutiny because of the attention they have sought out themselves...
I personally dont care about depth freediving, I presonally do not like cheaters, but, and it is a big but, I dont know anything about someone cheating I wont add any fuel to the fire.
If this is about someone tarnishing the reputation of the sport, that does matter to me. Baja seems to be suggesting that there is more to this than just competitve freediving and that does effect us all and is of concern.
nice Don...i like the shaft setup for your beach entrys...very elegant little simple setup...any concern about sand etc entering the barrell?
nice hank...mako's is the one i use..it is nice...i keep a rag w a bit of 3in1 oil on it in the case to keep any rust away...the crimper is ss..the small little fittings on it are not
Mmmmm delicious fried cuda.
Nice Hank. Yeah it is hilarious the very first time you do it as it looks like there is a lot going on and it is soooo easy
Can't wait to see how this trick helps your hunting. You were doing very well already:notworthy3:
Sweet. Uh oh. Deer are gonna die.
