  • Capturing law breakers on video

    Dan is correct. If I am the one that is in imminent danger I AM NOT going to be filming :(
    BUT, if I have the oppertunity to video a boat screaming by us within 300f (1 football field) the video will be rolling and sent to where it needs to go for effect :angry5:
    Having one spearo friend barely survive a speeding boat hit and losing both his legs at 26yrs old has polorized my attitude about speeding boats within my spearin zone
    This week a CG boat hit a small pleasure boat, injuring 6 people and killing an 8yr old child:angry5:


    I copied/pasted this from Florida Statues;


    For Boaters in Florida
    The following is from Chapter 27 of the 2003 Florida Statutes:
    (6) Any vessel other than a law enforcement or rescue vessel that approaches within 100 feet of a divers-down flag on a river, inlet, or navigation channel, or within 300 feet of a divers-down flag on waters other than a river, inlet, or navigation channel, must proceed no faster than is necessary to maintain headway and steerageway.
    (8) Except as provided in s. 327.33, any violation of this section shall be a noncriminal infraction punishable as provided in s. 327.73.
    1. For a first offense, $50.
    2. For a second offense occurring within 12 months after a prior conviction, $250.
    3. For a third offense occurring within 36 months after a prior conviction, $500.
    4. For a fourth or subsequent offense occurring within 72 months after a prior conviction, $1,000.

  • Shapelock

    So it sounds like shapelock could have many spearing uses, EXCLUDING "structural" uses like muzzles and mechs, etc. Correct?
    Why would a gun manufacture NOT offer a shapelock grip to his customers ?

    They are starting to report the winter arrival of Tigers and GW in north fl waters :@

  • Shapelock

    WOW---I learned a lot in a short time about shapelock. Thanks brothers
    I find that many spearos judge a mech by how the grip feels and or fits their hand. To me the grip is a very variable component. I may love a certain mech, but cannot use the mech/gun because of the way the grip feels or fits my hand. That is where the shapelock comes in. Maybe is just me, but if I was a speargun manufacture I would want to GUARANTEE that my gun would fit every customer. Seems like providing the customer with a shapelock grip would be perfect for this.
    Maybe the same fit/feel situation with a knife?


    What is wrong with this idea?

  • Shapelock

    Do you buy shapelock straight from Shapelock or is there a best retailer?
    Thanks for taking so much time to educate me about shapelock :toast:

  • Shapelock

    Great---
    So unless I'm mistaken, when you are making something out of shapelock you can take your shapelock shavings or excess and just add it back to your shapelock supply for later use if color is not an issue?
    In other words, you can keep using and reusing the shapelock over and over again?

  • Shapelock

    Oh yea, this is starting to get better an better, because the shapelock is clear UNLESS you add color.
    I love clear stuff, except my underwear and my mask skirt^^
    I went to shapelocks web site and it seems bare of instructions, specifications, etc.
    Tin Man, you said "measure out" the amount you need, how it that done?
    How do you knead the shapelock when it is 150F?

  • Shapelock

    I started this thread to learn and talk about SHAPELOCK
    Shapelock is a very interesting product that Tin Man uses almost exclusively for all his grips/handles.
    Does it float?
    How "tough" is it?
    What other uses for spearing could shapelock be used?

  • Modifed Neptonics Reef Mech

    Tin Man---adding the retaining pin behind the trigger looks like an nice simple solution
    WOW, that mech looks almost bullet proof
    Also looks like it would weigh a ton, but my guess is that weight is not a problem
    How tall is the mech case from the top down to where the trigger exits the bottom of the case?

  • Spearguns that float with the shaft in

    Not to derail, but I always thought that the low height profile mech on those C4 guns was interesting.
    Especially if that C4 mech could be incorperated into a high euro grip.
    Seems like the perfect mech to enable putting the shooters hand up in perfect alinement with the shaft.


    X2 what Don Paul said about heavy guns and recoil. Big heavy long wood guns is the way to go to throw a lot of steel fast and accurate <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

    Dan---
    1. My friend headhunter561 that was run over by a speed boat and got both his legs cut off by the props has the WHOLE incident on video filmed by a girl on headhunter561s boat :@
    2. Having a video of that boat that almost hit u in the water could have been helpful.
    3. Having a video of the boat that almost hit scott AND sdeisen could have been helpful.
    etc
