haha thanks guys, and yeah don but with 4 250 metal halides im sure you kept some nice stonies growin.. coral frags are super popular now.. people trade and sell and swap.. everyones one upping eachother

To bad I didn't know you last year I had to fill a large dumpster with protein skimmers and gear.
When you want to sell it to move no one wants it. I had a 250 predator tank and a 250 hard coral with
1hp chiller. I built a lot of fun stuff and maintained them my self. My kids baseball is my gig now.
Cheers, Don

Nice purple coralline algae, I just sold my 250 reef tank after 30 years, must be nice to be able to have local
corals. I used to have to start mine from frags. I don't miss the electric bill from 4 250 watt metal halides.:@
very nice tank thanks for posting.
Cheers, Don

Ya know, Don, I was kinda hoping that maybe I'd be assigned to a CAT team or SF group so I ,too, could grow a very distinguished looking beard. Alas, it is not to be.

Better to be TAD... Traveling
Around
Drunk;)

Yeah but the man's got some Cool Dogs. want to see a pic with that ROTT wearing a hood.:@
Just kidding hope he finds a good new home.
Cheers, Don

Recoil wise, Those hammerli pistols have a set of lead counterbalances along the stock to keep the pistol perfectly still. I guess the same principle is used in guns as say the C4 Urukay.

Here is a shape from C4 Tin Man may like, It's a mod for C4 users, but I'm sure hi priced.

Quote from LunkerBuster

wow Wood Guy, Damn..that is amazing...you could show that muzzle to some luthiers and they would ask which guitar shop it came from...simply amazing craftsmanship.

I am very interested in the reports about the gun as the whole technology is new to me and very interesting.

theoretically, this should have more power cos of the increased band stretch right? will that translate into more range or just more power since the spear size doesn't increase?

Think of the rubber pull ( length that the band is elongated) like a rocket blast...longer burn = more payload push.

Don is that Huntington beach pier?

Yes, a few miles North, a 40' cat was sucked up into the sky 100' and dropped on to a sport fisher, luckly no one
killed. I was at that pier in Jan 1988 when it was lost to the sea.

The diving sucks this week in Cali I'm glad I got wet last Sun.
The image is from girl name Tara here in Cali taken two days ago at the Huntington Beach pier.
Cheers Don

I use a 5 mil Omer all through the winter down to water temp of 54 degrees. One thing that helps me is
I bulk up to 205# from 190# in the winter. I have a thicker suit but if the water less than 54 I don't need
to be there these days. I would not want to wear a 5mil in Florida.
Cheers, Don

That is some of the finest craftsmanship on a roller I have ever seen.
the muzzle is very eloquent and finely detailed. If roller guns were boats
that would be a Riva .
Cheers, Don

I have seen water in my friend's bands but never in mine. I use metal wishbones and tie them very tight.
Cheers, Don..... Shite the weather to F-cked . wind gusting to 83mph with heavy rain.
Feels like I'm in Florida.:@

I would love to se the pictures of the ETPGB!

Hi Marco, there's some back @ #160.
Cheers, Don

I have never been any where close to that part of the world, sorry mate.

I was 36 in 1988 then we filmed it, I don't remember Terry's age but he has always been a animal in the
water. We both can still dive deep while swimming up currents that put guys back on their boats.
Cheers, Don see ya time to work out.

Here we are on Bora Bora filming Blue Water Hunters. Producer Lazlo Pal ,Terry Mass on starboard and
me on port. Terry and I paddled the outrigger into the wind from our base on shore. His paddle skills were not as
great as his dive skills. ( now I get a call I'll know if he's lurking;))
Cheers, Don

Tin look how happy you made this guy, good on ya mate.
Cheers, Don

Shite Tin man, I just noticed this is a Member's Items section, don't mean to muck up your post.
I can move it to Vintage Guns if you like.
Cheers, Don
