Dave, I like your speargun very much. I'm sure a perfect accuracy will follow after the improvements you will try (no slider, etc.), as I see you determined to finish the job at a state of the art level. Let us know the results of the next testing.

PS- About Mr. X's question, loading pad can be a good thing for aiming purposes: a valued speargun builder (Valerio Grassi) says that yes, the loading pad covers the view of the shaft, but this way you're forced to lift the muzzle a bit while aiming, and this helps. Because he says that rubberguns in general don't shoot straight to the target, but with a slightly descending trajectory. Thus, lifting the muzzle a little bit can prevent low shots.
