Does anyone have any experience woth this gun, or any knowledge? I have this gun and would like to hear others opinions on it, as me being a rookie hunter I don't have the experience you guys have. It has a 6.7mm spear, and a 67cm 18.3mm single band.

Would me upgrading to 2 bands be better? What length? What diameter?

All tips, suggestions and thoughts appreciated!

Hi

My dive buddy has this gun and I have the carbone version.

As a rookie I think it will be fine for a while with the standard set up. Easy to load with no tangles.

My wishbone broke quite early on so I made my own dyneema one and in the process ended up shortening my band which made it more powerful.

Im yet to double band it but if I do ill be using 16mm bands and theres plenty of band calculators online to look at to work out the length.

Hope this helps
