Quote from Don Paul

Thank you.Yes from New Zealand, The body is Titanium with abalone over lay. It took me 20 hrs to shape before I inlaid it to the gun. One must wear a very good respirator while grinding abalone.
Cheers, Don

:@ haz mat + endless patience = I bow to you

Adrian, what i meant, and poorly communicated, is that from the handle the shooter's trigger finger should rest on the trigger with the flesh of the fingerprint, not in the joint of the first knuckle...when you use the fingertip area you are actually pulling the trigger rather than squeezing it. When you pull it is a straight backwards motion and will not move the gun. when you squeeze you tend to rotate your hand as if you were making a fist, this will almost always result in you turning the gun to the inside of your wrist, even if only slightly and effect your aim

I don't know if that made more sense.

Dan, I am suggesting another shameless self promotional idea...I seem much more inclined to such shameless consumerism than you, so I will continue to suggest them

1) I saw a mini cooper w a huge "MINI" on the roof. i would love to rep FDSF on my roof for all the downtown residents to see

2) I aologize for not yet posting pics of my car with the URL

3) real idea- Spearboard has a logo (little hogfish thing) as does bloody decks and spearfishing planet....I have been tempted to purchase a Spearfishing planet shirt before, not out of love for the forum, but because they are cool

it is time to develop or start developing a logo for the forum or the store...I know many people spend $ on spear gear, why not get in on that action?

I am just so pleased that this is happening..it is a great idea and the way they have executed it is super clean AND...it begs for a second accessory rail on the bottom as we discussed in the "how many wraps of shooting line thread" you could move your line anchor, add a light, add a spike, PH holster...so many ideas!!

nice work there...i agree about the trigger being just in front of the first joint...if it rests in the joint that is the invitation for all sorts of aiming problems like wrist rotation.

gorgeous...very handsome gun.
can you post another pic of the muzzle w more of the stock in it please..i want to see how the shape makes the bands lay

no way to get to the inside though

how would I go about making it loadbearing?

wow, that is beautiful

good thinking...

nice, thanks...how deep do I have to recess it...should I have concerns with the foam pockets on the gun?

Tinu made a great observation about my Tito gun today in that I am trusting the little nylon piece of the muzzle to hold up against a fish, this is a bad idea on my part and it got me thinking about upgrading to a riffe / neptonics style anchor. I wanted to ask what everyone was using and why, as well as where they got their piece...I am spoiled from the great line anchor on Jeff's open muzzles so i have never needed to locate such an item.
Dan where do you source yours from?

does the trigger feel heavy to you or just time delayed? i am not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but a long trigger pull is simply a factor of the angles used in it's production, a heavy trigger pull could be an overpowered mech, or in your case a broken mech if you have not changed the power....has it always felt the same way to you?

Stuffed Mutton? mmmMMMMM delicious, nothing can ever beat mama's cooking...the second attempt looks amazing too, with shrimp.

I am so hungry right now <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

Hi Jason, yes, the eyeofmine fixed lens is the idea we are all kicking around, however the first thought is to make it removable and hopefull a little more elegant than the eye of mine fix.

I know the Greekdiver was usingthe GoPro on his head and he had found that the strap alone was deficient and that using a neoprene hat or hood was the way to keep it stable. his video was excellent and the rig was clearly working
