Recently I bought an Abellan 120 with the excuse that I really should try a rear handle gun before I die. I can't really say for sure how it shoots since I don't have a pool and I can't seem to find clear water and a white sea bass. Maybe next time I'll try to execute a barracuda or smelt in the name of science. But I'm so enamored with the band inserts that came with it that I thought I should pass it along. No matter what brand of gun you shoot, these things are the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Its just a stainless ball with a stainless wire loop on it. You don't need a band insertion tool. Just grab it with standard square ended pliers, lube up the ball a bit, and slide it in. If you use the small ID rubber, these are a must. I would have a hell of a time trying to get that big knot on 3 mm Spectra that I usually use for wishbones to go into that little hole. If you have a gun with with a closed muzzle and no wishbone slot in the muzzle, you don't have to tie the bands in the muzzle. You can just tie them anywhere you want, attach the wishbone to one end of the band, and pull it through the slot. If you want to remove bands and put them in the fridge, its easy. If you want to change the length of the wishbone to make your bands tighter or looser, its a piece of cake. Just use a longer or shorter piece of dyneema.
I'll confess that these are the only inserts I've ever used, but the others I've seen are not nearly as nice and convenient as these.
I ordered some extras and am using them to tie bands on every gun I own. I'll never go back.
