Re: RIFFE Euro Style Speargun Series "MAG-TRACK"

OMER sells a stick on weight kit that might help you.
check out the link:
PLOMOS OMER PARA FUILES

this should work on any gun.
after using the weights that came with the Cobra I used to have I am a firm believer in weighting the tip of the barrel for neutral Bouyancy, it greatly improves accuracy in the Long distance shots.

maby try weights first then wings if you dont get the accuracy you want.

good luck.

P.S. sounds like you plugged the reef really close, I have seen almost all normal 6mm and 7mm floppers bend at the brad when fired at close range into rocks and reef either straight on or glancing. (friends, not me) They just werent made for rock hunting.

Threaded tips may strip the threads depending on how close you shoot the rocks, and if you ever use a slip tip, you will either discover how expensive they can be to replace, or you will naturally try really hard not to shoot into coral and rocks.

sometimes the choice not to shoot is the best option, if we shoot into reef at a fish, in the shallows we usually use only one band, and let the other flop loose, it doesnt affect the shot much at all, and may make the fish curious about the floating band. try the one band option close to reef and I bet you wont bend stock shafts much at all!!

good luck.
