Hello All:
I am very excited, I'm going on my first real spearfishing trip in a couple of weeks! This is something I've been wanting to do for several years. I'm thinking of purchasing a Riffe Metaltech 0S (midhandle, 32" stock, 3 bands, 11' range). Although this trip will be over the limestone ledges of North and South Carolina, most of my diving is on the more northern wrecks of North Carolina so I figured the smaller size of the Metaltech would be good. I also liked the feel of the mid handle over the standard guns because it seems more stable. Additionally, I liked the price compared to the other Riffe's available. I have two questions I would like to get feedback on please:
1. Is the smaller midhandle a good pick for the type of hunting I will be doing? I only dive SCUBA at this time.
2. Any hints from folks with some experience? There are supposed to be good sized grouper and hogfish in this area.
Any and all comments and suggestions welcome, I can use as much help as I can get!
Joe.
