I dont think is a thing to debate on...kids ALWAYS are going to hear it or use it at school..or behind your backs....its just a matter of time...trust me in school they are waaaay different when they are with you haha!...i least i was like that haha!!

I enjoyed the film. Looked like a bunch of people having a blast making something creative while doing what they love to me.

I like Don's picture too.

good luck out there dude... it looks rough as hell...

They are an invasive species in a lake that is itself artificial. They serve no purpose in the lake's food chain other than eating the eggs of other fish, as well as vegetation. Nothing preys upon them. Keeping their numbers under control helps maintain stocks of more desirable game fish, as well as recovery efforts for endangered species. A lot of the other game fish (large and smallmouth bass, stripers) prey on the young of the endangered species as well, though.

nice!!!!....just wanted to learn...thanx bro...

I just want to hear some shark stories...i know you guys have some good stories..i dont care if there are short or to long just add your story...if you go diving and that day you have an expirience please share with us...if they are old stories the better i just enjoy hearing from old fisherman...if you have pics would be really nice...if you post them on another thread just copy paste it here...thanx for sharing...enjoy...

PD= NO Fuc*&^ drama allowed in this thread....if you had to kill the shark just say it...

what is the purpose of that? just askin...population control?

Karma is about as real as the tooth fairy, and we're doing the environment a favor. This is a subject that's been beaten to death on other forums.

You are right that ABS is very strong, as is Delrin. The problem that I am running into is that the shape for the AR-15 handles has some sharp corners. Those sharp corners can cause cracking in plastics, even with very little force. I can modify the shape a little, but not much, or the standard AR-15 handle grips would not fit.

That was the reason that I went back to anodized aluminum on my most recent batch of handle frames.

I think that I may start off with a prototype made out of Delrin, just because it is so quick to machine. If I can make something that looks decent and fits properly, then we can figure out what the best material would be.

The pictures show where the Delrin AR-15 frames would break, with surprisingly little effort. I modified one by cutting a curve at the back corner, and it made a huge improvement in the strength. That is why I have never had a problem with my shapelock handles. They are Delrin, but they have nice smooth curves inside the grip, which eliminates any sharp corners.

JC's good people! Dove with him last week and he knows his stuff! Welcome to the board.

My favorite part is the jump at the end with the pickup by the scooter! lol

and yea Ren its been blowing like crazy down here for a week straight now... waters turned to mud and no ones diving lol!

Looks pretty cool to me!! It certainly is really different than any other freediving video i've seen!

Can't beat a good ol' Dexter Russell IMO. I've had my same old white handled DR for around 10 years now. Been through all the "normal" knives that you can get at the tackle shop/walmart/outdoor world and my Dexter Russell has still held true!

dan the pursuit wetsuit looks f*** sweet!!....

Calvin is my hero!

Pretty cool examples. How does it hold up in saltwater, either with oil or an epoxy finish.

I tried to make some normal handles with the AR-15 mount from Delrin, and they broke. The Riffe would be a much larger piece, but still might be prone to cracking.

Thanks. I'm playing with the design to try to keep it light. That stupid pocket for the safety really gets in the way, though.

This idea kind of fell to the bottom of my pile for a bit, but I am kicking it around again. How about an aluminum frame to accept AR-15 handle grips? I can keep the aluminum to a minimum becuase of its higher strength, but how might the slight additional weight affect the Riffe? Do they have any extra buoyancy to work with?

Nice to see that you found this forum JC! Again, thanks for a great day out there! We should go get those massive Permit and YJ's after I take my PFI course in August lol! Then i'll def be able to hit them on the deep stuff!

Look at you Hau!!!! Uploading videos on youtube.... having your own channel! Pretty soon you'll be starting your own video editing and making crazy awesome spearfishing videos like greekdiver! lol

Another elegant version that I once heard is "It is perfect when nothing else can be taken away."
