14mm small ID bands x2 stretched to 350%. Easy to load, shoots smooth, accurate, minimal/negligible recoil.

I've had the opportunity to take down a lot of reef fish with this gun since the last post. It's like a new beast again.

Thanks again to all who provided advice.

With low handle guns such as the Aimrite and the RA, a roller head makes a lot of sense. Those guns cannot be pushed hard without quickly losing power and accuracy. With a roller head you might be able to improve on the performance.

Thanks SpearQ8. I’ve had 2x aimrite rollers. Nice guns, just didn’t love the set up. Rubbers always under tension when not in use. Lots of moving parts on their heads. Given I rarely want for anything with more range than the 100cm KV, I wasn’t using them much at all so sold them.

Re: Aimrite King Venom 100cm setup questions

If I ever get into Bluewater spearing (not something that’s easily accessible on my waters), I’d have to weigh up a quality roller vs a bigger regular setup. There are much simpler and stronger looking roller designs out there than the aimrite heads. I like the designs with the rollers built into the stock, rather than the attached separate roller head. Also, I’m keen on something wood next... if only Jon would post me an Ulusub🤤
