    The good thing about aimrite is that they back up their products, no questions asked. That´s a fact. But if soemthing is prone to fail, you will end up waiting for a month or two until you get the problem fixed. That´s a lot of time in open season, :boring1: besides the stuff ain´t cheap.


    Ufff! Thank´s to God he is ok now. Let us know how is he doing please. He will be in the water in no time, hopefully in the best shape of his life.

    Sergio, i am really glad that this situation hasn´t been more serious. I am a bit pissed for the accident though. Sometimes we forget that a speargun is a potentially lethal weapon. And i regret that somebody´s mistake had put you under serious suffering. Thank you for posting this. That accident will not be in vain though. A lot of people will remember this as a safety reminder for the years to come.


    Get well soon.

    Hi Monster,


    In your pants, I would contact Darryl Wong directly telling what's going on. Normally just a very small detail could make a difference between an accurate gun with a piece of crap.
    As you said, probably was not fine tuned before leaving the shop...


    You are right Marco, I´ll do that

    Marco, you are the man!! That info is da stuff!! :) I have it rigged with a 19 mm single band and i got a 7 mm shaft for it. I am eager to test it, in the future i will make a modification for the muzzle as well. The gun is really accurate with the 6.5 mm shaft, lets see how it performs with the heavier shaft. I wanted to go today but i have some work to do until the next weekend i will post some pics..


    Thank you

    MArco, thats one serious post about spearfishing, I enjoyed it. Thanks. For most people spearfishing is a sport. For most latin american families is a great way to get prime meat and is as controversial to kill a fish such as a ray or shark as is for an European to wash theri hands before a meal. Sharks, rays and tarpoons (Sábalo) are as good animals to eat (and kill) as any other edible fish in the Ocean.


    Except for ornamental picasso trigger fish and porkfis in scuba :D

    Sharks are fast animals when excited, they don´t give you so much room nor time to think when they charge. What scares me the most are the charging sharks you don´t see. Fortunately i discovered a charging hammerhead from my blind side. Once i spotted him i had nothing to fear cause i had a HUGE speargun loaded with 4 5/8s in my hands, And my mate one with 3 5/8´s. Enough soup for that kind of buggers. A PH gives you piece of mind though.

    You do realize that they are single use? In this case why would you prefer a .223 to the much more powerful AK47 round? In the near future I will stock quality Beco style reloadable power heads at a better price than Beco. These ones will take .357 and .223 rounds. But I don't recommend them for shark defense which is what the ones in this thread are for.


    In Mexico the Ak47 belongs to the Bad guys, If you are in the streets looking around for Cuerno de Chivo ammo, you´ll be grounded or at least get unwanted attention. .223 is a weak cartridge, an overloaded .22 (5mm) But is way easier to get a .223 cause it is the service cartridge of Mexican law enforcement agencies. La Ley Federal of guns and ammo sucks around here. Just the bad guys have acces to the guns and ammo.
