Hello Mates, i do need help on this one. I may have doing something wrong with my breakaway system. I have the shooting line rigged into the forward cocking fin of the shaft and a hawaiian breakaway.. when i shot, as the shaft comes out of the muzzle i get the shooting line thru the bands, and the entire floatline comes thru the space of the bands, and it's a mess... What 'am doing wrong, and what can i do, i was thinking in rig it with an slide ring .. help me please ...

Hiya
Seaman, i think you're rigging your gun up incorrectly. I attach my break-away to my line release. This was, everything is clear and offers 100% break-away. Have a look at the pic's. Regards miles

Thank's Miles, the hawaiian b.a. looks pretty much the same as the rigging depicted in your Rabi. The problem is when the shaft leaves the gun, the line in the fin comes by the middle of the bands and ... Sorry i don't follow, could you please tell me again?

Hiya
Seaman, i don't follow..... Does you bands tangle with the line even when using the gun normally?? (no break-away system?)

SEAMAN- a friend of mine was recently having his shaft tangle in the bands over half the time. It turned out that it was a problem with his Aimrite shaft. One of the cocking fins was poorly welded, with a small burr where the front of the fin met the shaft. I called Daryl Wong and he said that the shafts were welded by a robot with no one looking and some of them had this defect. Before he realized it was a problem he shipped some shafts this way. Then he had the shaft from his Ono gun come back at him a couple of times, and he figured out what was going on. The wishbones were just catching on that fin. Now he checks them all and files off the burr if it is there.
My friend filed his fin, and now has taken several shots with no repeat of the problem. Of course I don't even know if you have an Aimrite shaft, but it might be worth taking a look at the front of the fins where they meet the shaft.

sounds like you are just putting the shaft in wrong. You should be going rear of the shaft at the muzzle of the gun, under the bands back down the track into the mech. Sounds like you might be going from point of the spear at the rear of the gun forward and under the bands, then back into the mech? follow me?
Definately a spear insertion issue  and not a rigging problem from what ou are describing.
