Question What Spares Should One Have Handy?
permalink
Today while diving, I ran across a nice sized Calico that I decided would be worth shooting. Problem was, it was in a cave, only 2' away from the tip of my gun and I had both bands loaded on my Rob Allen gun. I knew the spear would most likely go right through and I didn't want to break the spear on the rock behind the Calico. Ended up waiting for it to move and after about 5 seconds it moved faster than I could track my gun so I didn't get to squeeze off a shot.

About how much are spears? Do I order them specifically from, or for the RA guns or can I order generic spears? Are there good and bad brands? If so, what are they? What do I need to know about different sizes or descriptions to make sure they're designed for my gun and dyeema (sp) strings on the bands?

Same question for the bands - RA bands only or order from where/who?

What else do you guys keep handy with you on day trips?
