Here is the live link on the MLPA meeting. The opposition to our speros bused in ton of school kids to fill chairs
and show support to the MLPA. Free pizza and a day of from school goes along way to get '' supporters".
As it did in a F=G meeting earlier this year. Many of the kids I spore to had no cue of that the outcome would stop the families from fishing from the beach in almost all areas in Laguna Beach and other vast areas of our coast line.

[quote='spearstuff','http://spearfishing.world/forums/index.php?thread/&postID=41155#post41155']I know this is a political issue, but this issue impacts every spearo in California.

No worry's Daniel about being political, this effects Cali speros as you pointed out. Voters need to really read the fine print on issues. Many voted for MLPA zones unknowingly in 1999 when it was buried in the Clean Water Act..... and we all wanted clean water back then so the young White Sea Bass we were raising in the grow out pens would have a clean harbor to swim from. Keep up the good fight Daniel.
Thanks for your help and stewardship mate. Your most likely in San Diego at the F+G meeting as I write this. Sorry I cannot join you today.:(

Cheers, Don

Dry fire the power band in a protected tube with out a shaft, record the snap of the sear and a Ti wish bone striking a end cap. Record the sound and look at the spikes on sound program and you get the speed .
Dan will ban me if I ever talked about the stupid unsafe Shite Ive done out of water.
i used to usea re-geared supper 8 for underwater tests when John Warren played around doing unsafe things. Most of the data I film and data I collected was lost in a fire in 1990 and at my age I have forgotten
most of the late night stuff. I have come to the conclusion the 4 of Mori's Mean Green are all the power
I will ever hunt with.

Cheers, Don

Welcome mate, good on ya for joining in the fun here. Looking forward to seeing some Aussie sheila's in the bikini thread.

Cheers, Don Paul

If the handle looks like this don't shoot it. Sheri found another reason for Tin Man handle it appears.
This is not on the gun she had the catastrophic handle failure but one earliy as well.

Cheers, Don

Very nice gun Dan, The grain orientation of the handle is the way to go no mater how dense the wood.

Cheers, Don

Welcome mate.

Cheers, Don Paul

don have u finished all the mods u want with the airbalete yet?

No way... I have just started. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x"> Is a house ever done or a guy ever finished messing with his hotrod ?
I have not played with a air gun for a long time ,I'm just having fun as I did thirty years ago as me and a friend John Warren pushed the envelope with game guns. The only thing new here is the shape of the
barrel. The mods I'm doing have been done for twenty years as standard performance tweeks. Vacuum barrel, enlarged ports, and a snubber able to handle the energy of increased speed of the piston without cracking . I don't watch ball sports except my kid's baseball so this is my way of kicking back.

Cheers, Don

Dan when it is 54 chilly degrees here booties are a good thing.

XP=100, I use 3mm Omer Ti botties in my C-90 Pursuit blades with H. Dessault 44/46 pockets and they
are put to extreme use on shore dives and off shore. I really love them but my kid keeps eying them and telling me he a size 8.5 and praying his feet grow before next summer. ( he is 11 years old):@

I have MANY italian friends. The body hasn't been recovered. They stopped searching him with divers, but they still have a hope to find him somewhere.

Marco, I am sorry your are correct, no body has been found.

Sincerely Don

I will go back to my source Marco, I pray I am wrong.

My metal guns I use with the exception of the fart gun have zinks and zink chromate paint along with Mil Spec hard anodize on some parts.
I may make the sharks want to rub their heads on it more though.

Cheers, Don

Ha I'm just slowly realizing how Dave Plossel continues to catch one big lobster after the other. If I'm the man, he's the god. Right now I've got a few more reefs I want to check out in Laguna that could be holding, provided Dave hasn't found them yet.[/QUOTE] spearstuff

Where is Dave ?....we need him here so you big bug masters can show me the ropes. I have never caught a bug over 6 lbs. except in New Caledonia where I got to shoot one with a Tahitian thumb gun legally then have a big Snowflake Eel dance with me, :@ To remind me of Krama.;)

Cheers, Don

Great post Daniel, Your the man.

Cheers, Don

Nice ET cross section Dan,...... It has taken industry over twenty years to do a hydro formed metal barrel
with the same profile as a John Warren Gun of past.
I wounder what cutter size I would to open up the track if I had one ?;)

You know one thing cool about my old ET I could shoot a short very stiff 38''3/8 shaft in a long gun but I'll talk about it a vintage thread some day.

Cheers Don

Edit.. found a old John Warren speargun image. Two works of art side by side.
