I dont know about any ballistic theory, but logic tells me that if i am trying to be silent as possible upon release, then tahitian is better. If my tip is hanging down, the first thing that has to happen upon release is the flopper gets pushed back against the spear from the force of the water anyway. Making an inevitable click sound , and possibly throwing my shot off, ( I have a single toggle so symetry is an issue) basically i want my tip streamlined with the spear , and i am in the same boat as "PASTOR" i dont want any o-rings ,(i got enough stuff) thanx for info on mushrooming pins YOU GUYS RULE!!!!
