I’m throwing the idea around of buying another gun. I currently shoot a JBL, I like it (despite the na sayers) and have no real reason to get another gun besides the fact that I have to follow the “he who dies with the most toys” theory. I have an opportunity to get a euro gun at a good price but I have never shot one. From what I was told they shoot straighter and longer than conventional (open track) guns. Is this true or am I getting the salesmans version of things?

What type of diving are you doing and were? I have a 130 rob allen and I would not recomend it for scuba shooting but some use them on scuba & love them. They shoot great but are a PITA to load on scuba IMHO.

:2gunsfiring_v1: You need to shoot some fish with the gun you have. I was hoping you were going to learn by watching me pull the trigger last time out.

They look like this :fish: and you do this :BoomSmilie_anim: :fish: :bounce:

Should I type LOUDER so you get it?:D

Remember this? You were there or were ya?

Try a bunch out first.
I used a Euro a couple of times, and while they are accurate I don't like the loading and unloading process or the thinner shafts
I much prefer my riffe and hiploading. I don't notice a difference in accuracy either.

I've got both. I prefer the American style. Much easier to load.

The straighter and longer theory is probably mostly a sales pitch. They usually have a thinner and lighter shaft, which translates to less weight. That means less inertia, so it's easier to accelerate, but also easier to slow down.

Also easier to bend the shaft.

I’d tell you to blow me but after seeing the pic of you holding the rainbow flag I’m a little worried you’d take me up on the offer. :D
BTW my avatar is a pic of my SECOND trip ever spearfishing and I also think it was on your boat PUNTA :2gunsfiring_v1:
