THE 1/2 POWER LOADING MYTH
Also, the concept that if you load the gun while the switch is at half power will make loading easy...THIS IS A MYTH.
What happens is......if you fire the gun while the switch is at half power, loading it after that while the switch is at half power ...this is easy...no problems here.

BUT ...If you fire the gun while the switch is at FULL power then return the switch back to HALF power before loading it...guess what...loading needs an effort just exactly as if the switch is at FULL power.
In other words, as long as you fire at half power, loading at half power is easy.
If you fire at full power, try to switch to back to half power just before loading...this will not do the trick.

Sorry Spaghetti.....your advise did not work on the Cyrano 970...unless I'm missing something!!

In any case, I've tried very hard to get used to the gun...still extremely disappointed, although I have a 50 cm pnuetamic and caught reasonable size groopers and what have you.
BUT with this gun....I'm not doing much except hurting my elbows joints and scarying the hell out of the fish...for nothing.

I'm getting a Rob Allen 100 cm and see what happens.

Thanks though for all your replies.
id buy it from you but you are in egypt

Your shaft is probably not spring steel either. The shaft that the gun comes with is crap. I throw them away once i recieve a new gun. Rob allen is a good band gun. Even though i think airguns are superior to band guns, the rob allen is a nice gun and will kill fish just fine.

One last thing, how tall are you? Are you using an extendor to reach the tip of spear? I use a similiar style like the one on the right.



Here is also a video you can watch how to load a real long pneumatic.
130cm + mambatized gun. The cyrano is actually easier to load because it has a smaller chamber to shoot only 7mm shafts. The airguns that shoot 8mm shafts are harder to load.

I hope this info helped.
