thanks i like the simplicity, one ques.: when you are swimming along with bouy towing behind, wont pressure from float possibly unhook it from release?i mean to say weight of float would pull towards rear of gun, possibly dislodging it ? obviously not , but why? i guess bungee needs to be relatively tight to prevent this?you are a knowledgable guy. thank you again. if you ever come to keys, PM me.. i will buy you a beer .
