ok thanks man

Anyone know of a good charter to get around Houston texas? Staying there for two weeks thought I'd try and book a trip. I will be solo so it would be nice to get on a charter with other people.

....

Getting ready to pour my track now

Progression

Just waiting on 5:30 so I can work on the build

It's for both. I plan on making the gun in a way that I can attach a break away for freediving and attached to line for scuba

Getting ready to glue my blank up. Found some tiger wood in the shop. More pics to follow

Where can I find dye for something like that. Thought that green or blue would look cool.

I have seen where some people use a blow torch and lightly go over the track after it's poured to raise the bubbles out. Also do I need to pour the graphite track all the way down the gun or stop it so far from the end.

Will any type of powdered graphite work?

I am using mako 7.5 mm euro shafts anyone know where I can get a dovetail and ball cutter bit for that size to grove my epoxy track?

Yes thank you! Kinda liked the look of the gun with the reel placement piece but sounds like my plan already is bulky enough. Haven't thought about the width much either. I'll have to draw something up. I have based a lot of my design from looking at koah guns. I seem to like there guns the most

More structure and sand

I have actually based a lot of my gun off the koah look. Just curious what you guys thought about the length above the handle. I wanted make the gun be able to have a reel or a break away setup.

Working on my first build. Drew up a rough cad file. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have the neptonics euro trigger mech with a mako 7.5mm shaft. Also using a jbl handle. Plan on using 2-3 5/8 bands. Not exactly sure how much length I need in front of the handle or behind it as well. Any ideas or direction? I plan on making this gun with my cnc machine so that when I have the programming right it won't be very hard to make more.

Hello everyone, I'm Chase. Found this forum while searching how to build spearguns. I work in the wood industry and have several of the skills and machines it seems it takes to build them. Thought I would build something that would be a great conversation and a great way to start into spearfishing. I am currently taking a scuba glass but intend to free dive. It seems more of a challenge and ethical. I plan to take a spearfishing trip in November while on my honeymoon trip to key west. Already made arrangements for the fiancé to have a spa day just to make sure it happened haha. I think what started my addiction to all things spearfishing was when I followed a spearfishermans instagram. I currently do a lot of bowfishing and this seems like the next level up. My family and I do a lot of fishing out of port st joe and panama city, we see several kings and also some dolphin while out, on some occasions we see cobia and triple tails. Not really sure of the laws yet but am studying them. Wanting to get geared up to take a little of all of them. Seems as tho you build your gun to a specific fish you target. Well I'm here to learn and share experiences, let the fun begin.
