  • Spearfishing accuracy 2007 speargun test

    There are many little things that make a gun different. You cannot clamp down a gun and fire it. That test would not show how good a gun aims. That test would actually show nothing.


    When a gun is fired, there is recoil and muzzle lift. How a gun handles those 2 main things will determine how accurate it is. That is why one banded guns with a thin shaft are accurate.


    There are many other small things that help with accuracy also.


    My Abellan has a lot of mass and it fires a 7.5mm shaft. If I were to shoot at a target and my main objective would be to hit the center of target, i would switch the shaft to 7mm and use one 16mm tight band. The gun would not recoil or muzzle lift at all. It would be like i was clamping it down. I would bet the shot would be as accurate as possible. But it wouldn't have the power or range, i would want.

    very good video. They aren't Greeks btw


    You can tell they are very good hunters. They have very good technique, and they are so comfortable. Joseba Kerejeta is a champion.

    I feel as though i've seen plenty of footage of large fish being taken with euros.
    i wouldnt get a mid handle without using one first, i dont like it.


    I agree. I haven't been blue water that much. I find it too boring and slow and I enjoy deep diving. But it would be cool to kill a huge Wahoo.

    I don't like midhandles. I owned a wong for a bit and i sold it. I felt like the shot was a little slow and kicked a bit for my taste but I was used to my pneumatic shooting bullets with no recoil. After watching Sheri on speargun hunter get her face bashed in with the butt of gun, I really don't like them. The idea of having the butt of gun so close to your face is scary. I guess you need midhandles for big fish in blue water but then again, i bet most big fish are shot really close.


    This is just my personal preference. All guns kill fish and wongs have taken down plenty of fish.


    The gun i use now is perfect for me. It has everything I look for in a gun without any drawbacks.

  • What kinda fish did I spear?

    85ft with a little bit of bottom time waiting for fish to come back in range.


    My back was killing me yesterday at work and for a while I didn't know why. <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">

    Congratz again Harry. You must have been so stoked when you got your hands on him. That's a fish of a lifetime for most of us. If you see another big one like that again are you going to take it?


    I probably would try to take a bigger one but honestly sometimes you don't have so much time to react with these fish. The fish was not wasted at all. Every part of that fish will be eaten. I assure you, just not by me. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

    The viz was really poor. I was dropping down on a deep wreck, and I was lucky to find it. I saw a big fish moving below me, and I was close enough for a shot, but I wanted to be sure what it was. The fish started to move away out of range then turned abruptly and came a little closer. I think I landed at his front door, and I was in the way. I took my shot, and I hurt the fish bad. My dyneema got caught on the wreck and was preventing the fish to enter into the wreck. Juan, who was driving the boat at the time, handed me my 2nd gun and my float to clip my main reel gun. Davie was on the surface helping me while i was diving down to retrieve the fish.
