Hey guys, wondering if anyone could give some advice on what I should be running on my railgun. Ive got a 120cm Superfrog Edge speargun rigged with twin 16's and a 140cm 7mm shaft. Been using the gun for a while now and feeling like it could be overpowered and swinging off the left. Ive been thinking about stepping up to a longer 7mm shaft around the 150/160cm hoping for a bit better accuracy without loosing too much power, or should I take off one of the bands so its a single 16mm?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Try out as much as you can with your current setup and if possible figure out what changes make a difference in either range or accuracy.
I have had good results with changing to 14.5 small id rubbers @ 340% stretch and this seems to work fine for quite a few people. These rubbers are easy to load and noticeably improved performance. With these you could also start on a lower stretch percentage like 300% or 320% and shorten later if you feel you can add power.
Make sure you have good aiming technique and are able to absorb recoil with your body straight into your arm to eliminate user error as much as possible.
Keep us updated.
