What speargun? C4/Teak/rabitech

Spaghetti - Now come on it's obvious that not every 1 that has a MR. CARBON uses it as a trophy gun! I was talking about myself, sorry if I didn't clear that up. I am pretty sure who ever bought the gun intended it to use it, at one point or another.

I dont know if it's true or not because I have not had an european gun my self. * I guess RA & rabis are not consider EUROPEAN because they are not made in EUROPE* But to be honest my gun is a feather underwater and I have an RA Caranx 900. Additionally, I think that my caranx lateral tracks very nice.

When you mean swing are you referring to moving the gun from a specific place and move it against the water so you can aim? Because that's normal I guess on all guns.

spago, since i tried rabitechs obviously and also tried Ihab's roba allen, i can say they are very good guns, but i dont find that they track as easy as say your average omer or cressi...thats i got them for the longer sizes 110,120 and use them with double band setup....they are heavy and stiff enough to handle it better then a carbon omer...
i didnt know the seatec 120 came with a different setup,,my 90 actually came with an extra muzzle setup for double bands,,but i dont think ill be using double bands for 90 size..i would imagine a 120 with 2 bands to be quite good too, probably it has the mass to handle the 2 bands with little recoil...what was your experience?

Armando,
the c4 i have is 104, setup with single 17.5mm bands and 6.5mm spear, so not for trophys, actually the C4 guys recommend this as the best setup for accuracy on the gun,,i dont use it a lot but dont use it for trophys...thats what the Wong is intended for

What? A trophy gun? Sh*t! I'd use mine as a crowbar if I had to, it's a tool nothing more, definitely a working gun

[Marwan]

Sounds like a guy I know who said he just need a car to get him "from A to B"...I believe his cars were an Aston Martin and custom painted Range Rover.

[Marwan]

Thats right X , im sure all Pastor''s crowbars and tools are red camo with "Ye draig gosh" engraved on them

[Pastor]

A tool it is, admittedly a very expensive tool but it will be used daily as the go to gun during the better vis

[Marwan]

by the way, when i said trophy gun, i dont mean it will be up on a wall as a trophy, i mean it will be used to land trophy fish..it would take a big mama of a fish over here to take 3 16mm bands and an 8mm spear..but i already have a date with my wong this year, place and time are already set...just need the fish to be there

Like the Japanese philosopher, would say, "the most expensive gun is the one you don't use, the cheapest one is the one you use every day". I my case, all my dive gear is really expensive even the 11 dollar knife I've bought.

I was in Hawaii a few months ago and got to meet Kurt Taguma one of the shooters in hawaiin skin diver mag. He was wanting to sell me the beuchat marlin but I reluctant as it appeared kinda flimsy..

[Marwan]

i believe Kurt uses it with a different setup, modified with 2 14mm bands and i believe a modified muzzle (at least thats what it said in the magazone)..i think all the testers saw some room to improve on the metal shaft keepers in the muzzle, although they made reloading quicker, they were causing friction making the spear slower and shooting low..

I use a rabi 110cm cf apex 1x20mmband 7mm spear as my gun of choice here in the keys.I love the gun and it helps me to get some ridiculously sweet fish that normally would be too fast.I say you get the rabitech!

[armandozx]

I have yet to test my Rab Allen Caranx with the new open muzzle and the 16mm bands. I was going to go out today and tested with the wife for her b-day but the plans failed and I wait here with new gear that needs to be tested as soon as possible! Frustration sets in!

[Coral Sniper]

Yep the muzzle was one thing that I did not like the look of...It seemed like it was a little tight on the spear,Like the others had said. Just my assumption
