ok.
so after my question regarding the quality of freediver's guns i went ahead and bought one from my local diveshop
now it seems like an amazing gun, and every1 has given it positive reviews.
the model i bought is 130cm lenght. it was advertised as coming with 20mm bands and in my excitement, i failed to notice that the bands were infact 16mm instead of the advertised 20mm. it comes with a single notched shaft (polished notch) made of spring steel. with dyneema wishbones.
i havent had the chance to test it in the water but im fairly certain that it will be underpowered with a single 16mm band. furthermore, that single band, withouth stretching it, come half way down the barrel. now the simplest fix is to just shorten the band, the question is to what lenght? and then the really newby question is, do i measure the overall lenght of the rubber (in other words from one end to another- its a circular band) or do i measure the lenght of each side?
it seems logical that when it comes to shortening the rubber, i will only have to cut one side and re-insert the wishbone, but maybe im mistaken.
any tips, or advice will be much appreciated
