Gil Gacula Speargun Raffle!!! LOOK HERE

As you may know, Gil was taken away from this community several year ago. He was amazingly unselfish, sharing his awesome knowledge of building spearguns with anyone who was interested, including a number of you tube videos showing how to make spearguns and tools to make spearguns. Many of which people still reference to this day.


While I never had the pleasure of meeting Gil personally, his guns, especially his attitude and spirt served as an inspiration to me with my builds.

I would like to take my fully restored Andre 120cm speargun gun, take the money raised and give it to the Gacula family if my spearing friends would be willing to help me....
These threads cover the build and also the initial sale of the guns and will serve as reference to what you will receive.

I will have more details posted up shortly. Please subscribe and stay tuned.....

here are a few photos






Raffle will start at 10 dollars a ticket. I will put all the names in a big hat and pull the name out. Someone else will do the name drawing and it will be done publicly.

I can handle online tickets via paypal. Or we can do it with credit and debit cards, check money order or cash.


Current paypal account to send money to will be nicolecourcy@gmail.com . I will post photos of your tickets with your names on them as I receive payment.

Great question and i understand there might have been a little confusion in the beginning. Im working on the updates, and they will be posted shortly. This is a raffle, with the final ticket winning the gun itself. I am trying to add a few other items as well and am currently working on it.

Re: Gil Gacula Speargun Raffle!!! LOOK HERE

Nice Save on that gun Tony. Great cause. Gil was the most talented American Speargun builder. He took time away from everything else to document and share his process for building Spearguns which has benefitted thousands of people. His Youtube instructional videos have been viewed thousands of times. I can't help but think that each time he is remembered by the Spearfishing community in a benefit to his family that he is smiling somewhere and that it gives atleast a little condolence to his wife and 4 children. Thanks for doing this.

I was just about to put it up on my wall and call it a day but figured this was a better option. Thank you for the kind words, both Gil and Andre certainly are true masters of their craft, and then some!!



Forumula Freedive just messaged me and told me they were going to donate a NEW Andre Ergo Handle for this gun too. I will take photos of it very soon. I was eye balling this the other day and it was sooo beautiful.
