The Cyrano 970 SHAFT Disappointment.

I recently bought the Mares Cyrano 970 (39 inch) pneumatic speargun with lots of disappointments.

SHAFTS.
The shafts that come with the gun tend to bend each time you load them. And I do mean B-E-N-D !!
I went through 2 shafts in 2 days …about 2 hours worth of hunting per day and the shafts were totally gone, bent from the tip more than any other place.

LOADING.
Although I work out with weights regularly and I’m considered a muscular guy; loading this gun was another story.
I had to put every muscle I have in my body to make the shaft go down the barrel, even my ear muscles !!!!
There is no way on earth, a regular guy can load this gun, with all the techniques known or unknown.

GUN PERFORMANCE.
The gun is beautiful, powerful, easy to maneuver but loading it and the shafts provided with that gun is just a very big disappointment.

In my opinion, anything larger than 70 cm in pneumatic guns is a waste of money.

Does any know what is the web site for for Mares that produces this gun.
I’ve tried www.mares.com, they have everything except the Cyrano spear gun.

Next time, I'm buying a band gun
