Greetings All,
My first spear gun arrived through the post yesterday - it's a Velos 75 (what ever that means?). It is 2 years old and hasn't been used. I've had a quick browse around here to try to understand how to rig it up properly and I have test fired it once in the garden (I know I shouldn't but couldn't resist!). A couple of questions for you experienced folk (if you'd be so kind);
1. Loading it seems to be incredibly difficult and uncomfortable on my chest - any tips?
2. There is some evidence of perishing on either end of the two bands, although it seems to be surface only - should I replace them anyway?
3. I will use it in England on the South Coast - is my water skiing "steamer" type wetsuit sufficient (5mm I think, but maybe 3mm?).
4. I'm a diver too - can I use my dive fins?
That's all I can think of for now, other than to ask if there are any licence requirements, or a closed season to consider. Can you spear fish through the UK winter months?
I look forward to hearing from you - any help/advice gratefully accepted.
Regards,
Stoaty
