Hi Ross,

Welcome and well done....nice gun and good first fish.
Im based in Cardiff and fish in Pembs, and there are at least another 5-7 I know of Tenby/Pembs area..... Im a relative nubie with this being my first full season spearing an am not entertaining the idea of long breath holds and deep diving.......at least not yet!

Im no DIY gun expert unlike some here, I went down the off the peg route, but looking at your design i would recomend you check that ali trigger (spear catch) regularly until you track down some stainless. Others on this site may well correct me here but possibly you may want to make the point ahead of the flopper a little longer just so that you can sharpen it without reducing the length and getting too close to the flopper pivot...??? just a thought.....
