I decided to make an 80cm gun for fishing for fast moving bass in the winter or when you fish in the shallows. Pete thought it was a good idea too - he kindly offered to be the model while I took the photos.
The main design criteria was that the gun had to be agile and had to fire the shaft rapidly over a short distance.
With this in mind I chose a 115cm / 6mm Devoto shaft, a totemsub Guizzo trigger mech, 18mm bands at 56cm long and a dyneema wishbone and a laminated teak stock.
These photos are from making the stock... more later
- Hope you find this helpful and that it will help people to take the jump to making their own guns.
