GreekDiver: Thanks for the semi-local input. I've been considering alot of air guns....Mares, Cressi, Picasso and Imersion(my fav). Virginia Beach conditions should be very comparable to the Jersey coast so the shorter gun will work here also. One difference is that stripers are legal to spear/catch in Jersey but not legal to sell...not even in the fish stores!
Pocher: the Wong guns look great....but again the price is more than I can justify. As a beginning, shallow water, free-diving hunter this year I just want a short range killing weapon. Maybe after I get a PADI cert I can look into other guns...'course I won't be able to afford them after paying for the course, BC, Regulators and such.
Plus I'm a single Dad who's been raising his two daughters by his lonesome for the last 4 years....tough justifying a $700+ toy to my kids, especially when I won't stop at one and they don't eat fish. See, my problem is that if I can't decide between a couple or three items...I have to buy them all !
