It's the shooter not the gun
;) I like to lay out prone:yay: and hover off the bottom, or with one or two band guns hold on to a barbel. I think you and the gun shot OK considering your not marries to it yet. I see the tip describing a arc before the shaft is released.
I have never bought a new gun for my personal use or collection, but this winter we shall talk.;)

I've ordered a few things from Josh (Neptronics) over the years and always had it in a few days. Some things I
just won't build anymore if the quality is high and the parts perfect.
Sorry to hear of your negative experience.
Cheers, Don
Last ones..

Today I removed the ''trial fitted'' speakers and made some gaskets from doubled over Rescue Tape before refitting.
Here is a trick to get the speaker polarity spot on, I know a lot of you pimp my ride guys know this already;)
Sometimes a speaker is not marked + or - on the terminal or both terminals are the same size (the wider one is usually +). A quick and dirty way to check polarity is to use a 1.5 or 9 volt battery. The polarity will be correct if the speaker cone moves forward when connected briefly to posts. If the cone travels inward the wires are reversed.
Cut off the old ratty ignition switch and shortened the harness by 5 feet,( not into having zip tied coils of ''extra'' wire inside the console).Ive seen some real short cuts on a few boats over the years.:(
Because this is a ''wet'' boat I use high quality marine grade wire and terminals tinted and soldered, later to be coated with silicon core heat shrink and coated with liquid tape over the switch post screws.
As the sun set I fired up the Mercury from the console for the first time with the tunes in the background. Still lots to do... radar, GPS, sonar, bilge pump and lighting. I know I'm missing some epic diving off shore and should just pay someone to take me out before the water turns cold.

Welcome Richard, good to have you on board, there are a few roller guns in the Guns of the legends thread.

Words....
My love said to me
My Mother won't mind
And me Father won't slight you
For you lack of kind
Then she stepped away from me
And this she did say
It will not be long love
Till our wedding day
She stepped away from me
And she moved through the Fair
And fondly I watched her
Move here and move there
And she went her way homeward
With one star awake
As the swans in the evening
Move over the lake
No two e'er were wed
But one has a sorrow
That never was said
And she smiled as she passed me
With her goods and her gear
And that was the last
That I saw of my dear
I dreamed last night
My dead love came in.
So softly she entered
Her feet made no din
She came close beside me
And this she did say
It will not be long love
Till our wedding day
Song was first collected in 1909 by Padraic Colum from the Donegal region of Ireland.

Aye ...was a good evening..
Gave the console a bath, jury rigged the sound system and cranked up one of my favorite songs as I sat in front of the helm with a thick glass of Bushmills .I'll share it with ya.

How the new shaft and rubber combo shooting?
Cheers, Don
Down there deep on the bottom most colors are gone, the black negative space very closely fits the background. Reef hunting is a good home for that suit pattern, but I bet Dan's green pattern would look close with similar deep water filtering. Still it's a good looking pattern, I'm more concerned what the chicks like back at the Palopa.;)
Cheers, Don
Cameron K posted some underwater pics on Facebook. It is pretty awesome. I need all the help I can get. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

This is turning out to be a good day. Doc's nephew is a dealer for Riffe here and I think I can get a nice deal from him. We'll see.
I don't mean to cheerlead for my old friend Jay, but that pattern would have disappeared in my old 100gal reef tank.
Cheers, Don
awesome..i cant believe you will have tunes as well
half ninja, military WSB murder boat/ half party barge!!!
No murder in my vocabulary;) The WSB will be safe at home this winter by the time I Christen her.I have now started to think X-Mas boat parade and a small bow tree. I don't even have a rig to tow it with yet. (I'm going to change my Avey so I can remember what a Yellowtail looks like.)
The tunes will be nice when I'm chillin, love listening to opera on a hard crossing, or a little Eminem on the way back to the harbor.
Cheers. Don
Welcome Andy, I love looking at images of your beautiful sea and the great fishes.
