Hey Abri Will do, no problem. He has been trying to talk me into freediving and spearfishing for ages, so now that I've fionally seen the light, he's very keen to show me some of his 'hunting-grounds'. Cheers Jeff

Does anyone have suggestions for targets i could use with a pole spear? That shampoo bottle thing didn't sound too horrible to me, i could use a rock tip and just shoot away. Anyone have any suggestions? It doesn't have to be anything that moves either, but im just starting, and i need to practice distance, speed, accuracy, etc.

Hey skarz,
If you just need targets, you may also use plastic fuel cans. Saw that in a video where the guys were testing the accuracy and the power of different spearguns. Fill the can with sand and shoot away... Other than that you can just try shooting fish - the best moving target! Since youre using a polespear you obviously won't be chacing monsters anyway. IB

plastic fuel cans are kind of expensive, I'd recommend empty laundry detergent bottles. Just fill them with sand just like the fuel jugs, and shoot away. They are also more environmentally friendly as fuel jugs might leak out some fuel residue, even if you think they are clean.

well I wouldnt use a $100 slip tip, but it shouldnt damage your tip. Consider that the tip of your spear is designed to occasionally hit the rocks and such, thin plastic is no problem.

Skarz,
I'm not sure where you live, but around here perch and opaleye make good target practice. And then you get to eat them.

This is a pretty awsome thread
when I first found Deeper Blue I used to re read this one quite alot, I learnt so much, its a shame we dont see Riaan here much these days but his work is away from computers out in the bush so I guess we can forgive him Regards the target practice bits above, with my new guns although they are bang on accurate, I find in the heat of the moment I dont always have time to aim properly and as a result I seem to shoot high but how high depends on the amount of paralax (Im looking slightly down at the tip so in relation the spear is aiming slightly upwards). So as a means of avoiding this, of late Ive been tilting the gun over to 90 degrees, so that the hieght axis of the gun is in line with the body length of the fish, so now all I have to do is get the new vertical axis of the spear in the middle of the fish (easy) and aim just behind the head and bingo my hit rate is near perfect on a slow moving fish nearly always a head shot and so fast. Im pretty chuffed with the technique anyway, probably find out now that everybody does it but they werent going to tell me

Alison
I went in a pool last night and shot my new gun - the "Eurocan" - It shot wonderful by the way (all shots in a 3" group at 15') I have not really tried shooting the gun sideways yet... I am shooting in the pool again this weekend due to rough seas so I will try this method. I am interested to hear more hunting techniques... I compare spearfishng to bowhunting on land.... I love both...
