  • Sig pistol project

    I bought this small plank of Cherry Wood($8 enough for 10 grips) at Pearls Art Supply a few weeks back.
    I haven't been sleeping much lately so I decide to get to work the other night.


    The barrel is missing because Sig has had it for the past few weeks
    (the feed ramp has a dent which they ignored last month when I sent the gun in, so I had to resend on their dime).


    Not much to it, just outlined, made cuts with straightedge, knife, Dremel and some sanding.


    I'll keep making a few more and tweaking(variety of woods and stains) until I can make them look better.
    -What stain/sealer do I use?(Woould like to get the wood almost black with no gloss.)
    -Where could I get some more dynamic grain wood in thin sheets such as in the pictures?

    This video is fun and creative.


    The Guillaume Nery's Base Jump is pure art.
    I would love to have the Base Jump video in 1080p to play on loop on the flat screen while not in use. (can't figure out how to rip vid's from youtube)


    Also,
    William Trubridge freedives THE ARCH at Blue Hole, Dahab
    is a great artist view on how far a person could take them self.



    Yes I understand there is editing and multiple dives involved in these vid's(who cares). The message they relate, the creativeness/effort involved in there creation is just outstanding.

  • Broward Beach Conditions

    Late post,


    Went out Sunday morning in the 954 area,
    Water was clear35'+ and very warm.
    Lots of fish around but not much worth shooting.
    Got a mutton and a hog.


    Then came Mr.BlackTip.
    Craziest shark I have ever seen kept attacking my head even after man pokes to the face and side of body. The shark showed up right after I shot the hog and followed me to shore(35min swim). He was 6' long not sure on weight and not good and guessing. Also, one of the times when I couldn't see him he circled around and bite the fish off the float.

    Thanks, just rubbing it why do you.

    Was looking forward to reading your report today.(hoping for good news)

  • B.A.D. spearguns????

    BAD= FAIL.



    The marketing guy must of taken the day off when they came up with that name.






    From my search,


    They just seem like a riffe copy with an aimrite handle and enclosed track. The prices are cheap, that's great IF they're any good.

    Quote from sdeisen

    reminds me of a high end version of the gun used in that crazy african spearing movie where the guy gets the million pound grouper.


    Damn, I love that vid.



    Quick search on YouTube on the phone and I couldn't find it.

  • Shooting macs, whats the trick?

    Quote from Dan

    The Spanish Mackerel you see in the vid is Scomberomorus commerson http://www.fishbase.org/summary/Speciessummary.php?id=121 not the same as our little Scomberomorous maculatus http://indian-river.fl.us/fishing/fish/mackspan.html Although similar hunting styles may work for both fish.


    Now I know where you got the idea that you need a 130cm gun to take them Brian. I have good success with mackerels, always with solid mid body shots, a 110-115cm gun does just fine.


    I agree with the above. You could do alot with a smaller gun. I use a riffe x3s or something I forget what they're called. From bluewater to shoredives.


    Now I have taken my seasniper 130 enclosed track on a fee shore dives and hated life. 130 is just way to long when you could get somewhat near the fish in our waters in SoFL.

  • Shooting macs, whats the trick?

    When they are doing circles around me checking me out it's as easy as point and shoot.


    When they freak and start swimming away ad dive down fast and take off behind them with fast smooth kicks. At some point they will slow and turn to one side for a better look at you and BAM!!!



    Macks and my favorite fish to shoot.


    Edit.
    Ahh I see I should have watched the video first. They say the same thing I did about don't stop swimming behind them and they will turn and give you a shot.


    That guys voice. I couldn't get passed the whole which gun thing.
