Nice to see you on this board Paul. Lots of good people here.

Take the band closest to the tip of the spear, (furthest from you) and pull if under the band closest to you to the first tab, pull the the next to the second tab. It's normal to see some wear near the knots on bands, there is a lot of pressure there because the knot squeezes it so tight, and it still needs to go around the wishbone. The sun also doesn't help much with preservation of bands, so try to keep them covered and out of the sun.

Fuzz i am after power. i wont shoot anything 2-3lbs. i use fish that big for bait! lol i do understand what your saying about recoil with a lighter gun. ive got 3 metal guns, the omer 110s carbon, Mako 120 pro oceanic coming, and hopefully soon ill be able to get a great wood gun. i like the wong, but Steve at Poseidonsub and Hamilton spearguns are true works of art. Ill get one of these great wood guns as soon as i can make up my mind. they are all great powerhorses. thanks for all the help guys, appreciate it!
With a single 20mm band, you should have plenty of power to kill fish upwards of 30 pounds, with proper shot placement. Guns with more mass recoil less, and railguns are very light, so if you overpower them, they tend to have lots of recoil, which effects accuracy.

The setup for that gun sounds like it's a bit too much. For guns that are 110 or 120 cm, I like to use a 7mm shaft and a single 20mm band or twin 14's and a single loop of mono. Both are accurate and plenty powerful. Euro guns are meant to shoot lighter shafts, with lighter band loads. Good luck.

Hey Guys! My name's Zach, I'm 16 and I've been diving since I was 12, but only seriously for about 2 years. I dive everywhere from Palos Verdes to San Clemente. I mainly dive from the shore, but I get out on a boat every now and then. I like making my own guns, and I'm addicted to it. I look forward to meeting everyone on the board.
Dive safe,
-Zach
