Hey Spearstudx,

I'm shooting Ray Odor pinned shafts with Plamen Kolev slip-tips. The bands are 9/16 (14mm) Mean Green, which have the equivalent pull of 16-18mm bands, depending on the make. I've recently ballasted the gun, which took a lot of lead, so I feel good about the gun's ability to absorb recoil and wouldn't hesitate to add a fourth 9/16 band. I'll decide after a test fire.

The inspiration behind this gun is my upcoming trip to Vanuatu. Super clear water, wary fish, and deep dives are the norm and towing around a 6-band log gets tiring during the course of a day, let alone 5. Lots of guys are successful on dogtooth tuna and wahoo with Euro guns, so having the extra range of a multi-band wood gun but the maneuverability of a slimmer gun is the compromise I was going for.
