Re: CWP Laminated Blank

Inspired by Wood Guy's builds on this and other forums (thanks again for your advice!) I tried a test gun with fluoro-orange textile dye in the resin. This was started years ago, but only finished...

Re: Fusion Rollers vs Standard Rollers

Satdiver - can I ask you where the slack rubber in your 4th picture attach to? I'm a bit confused…

Re: attaching line to the rest tab?

cool, makes sense now. I’ll give it a go, my goal is always accuracy, and I’m never hunting in holes. Thank you!

attaching line to the rest tab?

Hi there, I’m about to finish a new home built and I faintly remember reading here about attaching the line to the rest tab? What is the benefit of this? It does seem counterintuitive to me… Happy to...

Re: 14 mil bands that are "softer"

I tried Epsealon Blizzard in 14mm and they’re quite soft. Colour sticks out like a sore thumb though. Worth a try if you can get your hands on it

Re: Salvimar Hero & Hero Storm test

Thanks so much for the review, I had my eyes on the hero for quite a long time, but of course - the current crisis put a spanner into the works. Would be interesting to know if you have had a bad...

Re: Enlarge hole for shooting line in shark fin

�� not sure if you're joking about buying a new shaft. Anyway – first, carefully work with a dremel and a cone shaped head. Then put a toothpick into a drill, dip into cutting compound and off you...

Re: Does a magnet affect spear velocity?

I epoxied a thin rare earth magnet into the Muzzle of one of my guns just for that reason - worked quite well, but they rust out really fast. Decided it wasn't worth the effort (though I'm sure a...

Re: wood handle classic and ergonomic thumb rest

These look awesome! Have you considered selling them? Probably a tricky market for spearguns, but there are companies out there who made handles (albeit sport guns) their sole business…

Re: How short is too short? Will this damage my barrel ?

Mine does. No clue why (still has stock rubber which seem a bit too long). It's my spare gun though, only used it once and didn't get around fixing it yet. 115 Sniper

Re: Carbon fibre to strengthen wooden muzzle

I used your first option with double 16mm, worked a treat for any size reef fish

Re: How short is too short? Will this damage my barrel ?

Uh, I just noticed the open muzzle – how are you planning to wrap your shooting line over the spear? In front of the flopper won't do it.
I suggest buying a new one.

Re: Small id bands dyneema knots popping out

Re: Sporasub america one alternative

Re: Sporasub america one alternative

Yep, I've given up on the RA spears too, considering their price in Oz and NZ. The only ss shafts with a reasonable quality here are Riffe, but again at over $100 a pop you still flinch a glimpse of...

Re: Sporasub america one alternative

There's a sporasub one shaft you're describing for their sk40 gun but max length is 130 at 6.4mm thickness. The beauty with the hardened flopper is only available for their One air. Being in the same...
