You draw a quick conclusion without doing all your homework…

Re: middlegrounds video... Riffe vs Koah
I use real world experience and yes I have owned a Riffe before that came stock with 3 bands. I took one off and it became much more accurate. Try it for yourself.

Re: middlegrounds video... Riffe vs Koah
Nice vid! I shoot Riffe, JBL, and just got a blue water Koah for Tuna and wahoo. I've also used Wongs, Billers, and home made guns. Every gun and every set-up are different for different areas/species/situations. If you're going after reef fish in FL, you need a different set up than if you're shooting fish on the rigs in LA. You need to use what you like and are comfortable using.
My skin diving LA state record, my free diving world record, and my couple LA top ten skin fish were shot with an old JBL that had a hole in the barrel which allowed it to fill up with water, and I had a Riffe reel on it. People always told me that I needed a better gun, but I was comfortable using it, and that gun killed more lbs of fish than all my others combined. At the end of the day, it's the Indian, not the arrow.

Re: middlegrounds video... Riffe vs Koah
shoot that Riffe in the pool and most likely you find that it shoots high.
Why 3 bands in such a close range shoot? I have a Riffe C3X that I modified for freeshafting. Works fine and has killed many fishies.
