There's nothing special about Pippin or his overly marketed hyped speargun and accessories line
I would consider that hating. Nothing against black1. Just using it as an example

By putting a spear into a fish in front of a couple sharks, do you mean shooting cobia off sharks LIKE TONS OF PEOPLE DO EVERY WEEK?
Its all a matter of being comfortable around sharks and knowing their behavior. Sharks are not animals to be feared, but respected.

jeez... you guys are majorly hating on him....
Fact of the matter is hes a heck of a diver and I doubt all you haters could even get close to holding your breath that long...
Sure persistant isn't the best speargun on the market, BUT dont go bashing guys who have achieved great things in the sport.

I don't understand what all the fuss is about, sharks, ladder loader, loading assist bar, all pretty normal stuff.. shameless marketing stunt, the potential to hurt our sport
Whether because of video quality, camera angle, or distance from the subject, I could not get any idea of how close or far the shots were. The one time that I was pretty sure it was going to be a long shot on a grouper the camera faded out before the shot. If the goal was to demonstrate the gun's accuracy at a specific distance, there are better ways to do it, such as as using marked distances in a pool and a target. Surely a company with such resources can arrange a little pool session.
I found the heavily decaled fins coming into the frame every so often extremely annoying. Reminded me of the stickers skateboarders put on their boards.
As far as a vid just showing a couple of guys having some fun spearfishing, I thought it was alright.
Dan you have pretty much summed up all my thoughts on this video. Except the fins... I like overly decaled fins

I dont think that it is irresponsible to put a shot in a fish near sharks. Anyone who has dove wish sharks frequently knows that there is nothing to be afraid as long as you are aware of your surroudings.
Its all about someone's perception of things and past experiences IMO...

I think that the purpose of the video was to show how many different guns in the Persistant line have the capabilities of taking long shots.
As far as the tool/gadget to load the gun, i'm not sure if your referring to the extra latch on the speargun, or the loading tool put on the tip of the shaft, but from the guys that I have seen load pneumatics, that's pretty common place.

Well as many know, I live from fishing and some of my clients are restaurants and they ask me for sharks but in this case I went out shark fishing but as I had eaten a good size king mackerel, decided to catch one of the largest it was shot in the brain where it is assumed but was near the spine hurt to swim and I could carry to the boat where as usual with a long knife to kil him
I use a small buoy aimrite when the area where I fish is under 80 feet deep but when in the area are areas of more than 100 feet aimrite use a large buoy that has more than 100 pounds of flotation

Welcome! I dive the bay as often as I can. Just remember, there are NO good fish in Pensacola Bay. Especially not snapper or grouper . . .
