I have to agree with this. Same with distance because the fish that I've shot that were over 40 lbs looked to be about 25 when I shot. So much for MY distance judgement.

And how I aim...hah. I miss the most shots on a fish just laying there on the bottom. I point....aim....try to get the perfect stone shot....and MISS !! haha

I was told by our favorite gun making dentist from Hawaii, "don't aim...just point and shoot", which is how I shot bob white quail with a 20 gauge. It works better for me which is why I hardly miss a moving cero. It's the stationary 10 lb grouper that give me trouble. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

Instinctive Shooting .

i think the trick is to learn how to get closer but as some old spearfishermen will tell you there are some smart experience fish that always stay a certain distance away which warrants a longer shot with a more powerful gun

maybe it leaves room for flexing if your mech is not perfectly aligned and level with the shaft and track especially if there is wear on the track , but this is just speculation . personally i would want as much out of a gun length as possible .

welcome man

wow 3 mile rule . i got to say the States has a lot of rules , you have to be a Lawyer to spearfish [ Lunker ]

yeah , when moving dead clumsy weight you need to be careful with you back, it is easy to slip a disk and be out of commission for a couple weeks . good luck

awesome haul

those photos are seriously awesome

i taught it might have been birds but wasn't sure . [ some is lost in text communication ]:)

He was literally robbed of his fish by some giant pelicans. We fed them the guts when we got back. While we werent looking one grabbed the fish, dragged it into the water, and fed it to a snook.
