spearos,
I have another question. I have a RA130 open muzzel with 2 bands. I freedive with shaft line in mostly clear water off Miami. Most of the time I have just one band cocked onto the shaft because the fish are small and or close. I have the second band in the muzzel ready to cock if I see a big fish or long shot. The 2nd band is always waving in the water and possibly scaring the fish unless it is cocked. With the shaft line over the muzzel I do not have the option to just carry the extra band and slide it on if needed cause it will trap the shaft line. My question is; What can I do to keep the second band from waving around free in the water when not stretched onto the shaft? How has anyone else solved this extra band problem?
I know this is not a new problem but I could not find an answer with search.
Thank you in advance.

use 1 band to trap the other. it does mean that you can't load the 2nd without unloading the 1st, but it will keep the 2nd under control.

Just load both bands- more power isn't going to hurt.

Hau, have you tried pulling the 2nd band over the shaft and back under the barrel? The water pressure should hold it against the barrel, out of your line of sight...

Hope that works for you.
