Sea lions?
Could be marine mammals. Seals, otter , orca, dolphin etc... A lot of the art is abstract and open to interpretation. Its thought that the art is part of shamanistic ritual. The Chumash used the datura or jimson weed to induce a trance.

Dan,
Good question. I wish I knew the answer. That shape has been in the last three caves I have visited in the back country.Probably 20-30 miles from saltwater but near native trout streams. According to a reference book by Campbell Grant the shape is generally accepted to be a fish but no further detail is given. However, there are two coastal caves over looking the pacific that have actual swordfish paintings. Have not seen them first hand because they require military clearance to access.
From a cave deep inside Chumash country.
From the keepers of the western gate.
Good stuff.
Can you zoom the camera to eliminate the porthole effect?
What kinda camera/ housing were you using? Is that a wide angle lens? Nice clip..

I'm assuming that's the bottom of the fish, I would've liked to see the other side too. Or is it white all around? I wonder what a fish this size eats.
Dan,
Dr.Milton Love has published a couple books on fish of the Pacific coast. Good reference material.

Nice pics. What camera/housing were you using?
Spectacular. I would have cut her loose...
I would consider buying the product if it was backed by a major industry manufacturer/distributer that has a track record. It has merit but the first generation buyers are taking a huge risk IMO.
Four bands and an open track is a strange design in my book.
My Riffe Island and Bluewater used to handle 4 9/16 bands on a 5/16 shaft. I built a device to measure band pull # and kept to the limits. My enclosed tracks are more foregiving.

Looks good George.
Does the vest come with a lifetime warrenty? Who is going to fis it if the company goes out of business?
Awesome gun. Is the one screw holding on the muzzle plate stong enough to handle the band stress and what prevents it from rotating around the screw? Great work!
Mik
Good stuff!
Found these guys at 1500' about 15 million years to late...
Better late then never....
I would like to see more "Made in America" product and would gladly pay the upcharge.
