The graphite is only added because it is believed to lower the friction between the shaft and the track. Other common additives are west systems 403 microfibers. These thicken the epoxy and add a little strength. That being said there are millions of different combinations that people swear by and I have no idea which is the best. If you have already poured the track without graphite then dont worry about milling it out and starting over. There are plenty of people that dont mix anything in and say its just as slick as with graphite.

PFI has apparently opened 6 spaces for May 21-24 and This class fits my schedule better and Im planning on taking it. How does this work for you Judah?

Thanks

Hey Dan can you add this thread under the "bands" section

http://spearfishing.world/spea…-correctly-power-gun.html

Your right I didnt realize the knife was 9 in long. I only have about 7 in of space on my chest for that placement to work

I was thinking over the left peck from about the collar bone to near the sternum. This are doesn't change much and is off to the side enough not to affect chest loading and your right it does take a fairly flat/compact knife.

Dan is there a way to attach a sheath to a wetsuit? I saw a post somewhere about having a knife on your chest as being a great (natural) position to carry one. It seemed like a nice location and out of the way but I cant figure a good way to attach it. The post was from a scuba diver who carried it on the BC.

You can also check out vector marine he makes shafts to order. You can find him on ebay and his stuff is kinda expensive but its had good reviews and will be exactly what you want

Its a 55 in overall length. I have a 57 in riffe shaft in 5/16. from the tip of the gun to the front of the mechanism is 44 " and the disanct from the center of the forward most band hole to where the back tab is is about 42". I dont know what the stock weighs but I have 3 band holes. Thanks Don

Where does everyone get the Mori rubber? I keep hearing about it but cant find it.

I was leaning towards neptonics but have never hear any review of their rubber and I didnt know how it compared to the other companies. Your right Primeline is a manufacturer but you can get rubber from them. I love the Riffe rubber and was wondering how the neptonics and mako rubber compare to the Riffe. I know a lot of them get their rubber from the same manufacturer is this the cas with Riffe/Neptonics/Mako?

Thanks for the quick reply.

Hey guys Its coming up on summer and Im looking to finish up my first build and Im trying to find a good supplier of rubber to tie my own bands. Im looking for 5/8" all black rubber. Here are some of the suppliers I have heard of:

Pursuit
Neptonics
Mako spearguns
Primeline rubber
Spearitco
Riffe

If you could post any reviews about any of these products. All are top notch brands.
Thanks

Show this to your boss and see what he says

How hard would it be to gorilla glue/epoxy a piece of delrin or other material to the front that would keep you from drilling through the mask? That would also allow you to mount on smaller masks or masks with little or no support in that area. Sounds like a project for Jeff

I love that "tonic" state. I like how peaceful the sharks seem because it shows that even though they should be respected sharks are not man-eaters. The sharks in that clip although obviously feeding didnt seem as excited or as "jittery" as I would have expected. Nice clip thanks Don

I would say small cubera or big mangrove . I cant see the "tooth" thats supposed to be on dogs and the colors are a lot like a cubera.

The salt causes water to freeze a lower temperature. This allows the water in the cooler to drop below 32 degrees and helps keep the fish extra fresh.

I have honestly never used a reel before but a god sized grouper or dolphin can put up a good fight.

The igloo hinges break after a while. If the cooler starts sliding in rough seas it doesnt take too long before they break. SS hinges are a good upgrade.
