still young at heart Don

i like seeing how you used the wood rasp

can you have a single band roller gun pretensioned , meaning , at the muzzle the band is partially pulled using the lower notches below the gun . now instead of releasing the tension of the lower band to load it you leave it taught , then use a tool like an ice hook to pull the wishbone to the rear notch of the spear without touching the lower band . this may mimic a pneumatic gun [ full length acceleration ] and even tough you will have the same downsides of the pneumatic you should also have the upsides like '' relatively '' quick reloading .

Lunker seeing that you live in the States is a pneumatic an option especially for 25ft ?

I think the freediver vs scuba diver factor may have bearing on this preference. If I remember right Bill you don't freedive? Just trying to keep things in perspective. One of the reasons post about this is to help guys not make a costly .

Yea...I appreciate the concern man. Its just hard for us to get proper gear down here in Grenada, which is why I'm shooting 20lb Jacks with a 70cm Rob Allen <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

yeah , its the same here in Trinidad , even after spending close to $1000 USD on a gun you still have to buy a reel or float line but you can make a pretty cheap float line out of marine rope and some bungee .

thanks hank .. i don't need a suit yet because Trinidad water is warm but when i graduate to deeper stuff i probably would especially with fire coral .

i am 6 ft and 155 lb is it hard to find suits for my size ?

forgot to say the RICE technique works really well but you need to be careful when the inflammation goes down as well as the pain , you can have a false sense of strength and will move around normally and may find yourself damaging it again . entering a constant cycle of healing and damaging .

Trust me man i know how it feels tweaking for the water , have not gone back in since the dislocation

i had a complete dislocation of my right shoulder [ out for 2 hrs ] 5 weeks ago . had it in a sling for 2 weeks and in physical therapy for the past 3 weeks and it is working wonders around 50 % back in total and 100% in some movements . met a lot of guys who fought through pain for years then eventually needed surgery . i think you should go see an orthopedic surgeon specifically [ if possible ] . the tissue needs to heal while under specific movements in order to prevent further damage . good luck Bro .
