Smile quick draw on a yellowtail!

Spearboard seems to be the last forum with some action. It's so sad. Anyway, let me post this!

It's the kind of quick shot that makes you happy when it lands

Frisky fish, it behaved like it was on a hunt. Nice fish, Rene!

I've been using my RA quite a bit. The water is super dirty and it's my only gun under 130 cm! It shoots extremely well once you balance the bands and the shaft correctly (in this case a 7 mm shaft with very little overhang with 16mm bands).

It's a carbon gun but it still sinks... I wonder when someone is going to make spearguns with a 30 or 32 mm tube so we can get some boyancy.

I think you're doing just fine. I wish I could give you some tips but lately, most of my fish are in 20 feet or less. What about the La Ribera marina?

Nice fish! Take the muzzle out and check if it has some lead inside. Some RA do. If you take it off will be perfect.
