Re: Shark tooth spear with closed muzzle?

The line DOES kink on that wrap, but the wear or breakability is probably no worse than the wear at the spear attachment point or crimps.

I have seen some guns with this idea somewhere.

COMMENTS PLEASE.
Very positive comments, what else? That's exactly what I did on my Omer Master Competition 106. Apart from allowing sharkfin shafts (which I don't)and reducing to zero the drag of shooting line when passing throught the muzzle, the gain is a much better sight on the shaft itself for better aiming. Azapa you did the right thing no doubt (and it also looks well done)
