My newly aquired but used gun is awesome..Supposed to have a range of 12 feet I think...But when it hits the end of the shockline it really gives a pull. I think about 14 feet would be good for mine..I have a JBL 38 special NW...If for nothing else the longer cord will help keep the shock cord from wearing out prematurely...No thunk at the end of the line probably will mean you won't lose a spear on a missed shot either.
You will have to measure carefully as to not make it too long or too short so you have the Bungie part of the cord putting some tension on the line when it is ready to fire - But not so much tension that the bungie is stretched too far.
Hope this helped..I am kinda new to spearguns too. I got really good with a fiberglass polespear last summer. Someday I hope to have a Gat-Ku polespear. A polespear is suited well to the fish I like to hunt here in Wisconsin.
