I'm building my first Speargun, and I can't decide on what exactly to build. This gun will primarily be used in the Pacific Northwest, and to be honest, it will most likely be used on carp in fresh water, as I live about 3 hours from the Salt water. I have never had a Speargun before, so everything about spearfishing is new to me.
Currently I have a laminated blank made from padauk, it's 120cm long with 6- 3/8" laminations on the vertical plane, with a 1/2 thick horizontal lamination for the bottom plane. West 105 epoxy resin with filler and 206 slow harder were used.
Currently waiting for any warping to happen before I true it up and start having to make the real decisions about design.
My current thinking is to build a 100 or a 110cm gun with an inverted roller, but I'm open to suggestions. I'm sure 99% of the good people on this board have more experience and will sete in the right direction.
I'll try to post some pictures of my blank if I can figure out how to do that, I have been lurking on this board for months, this is my first post. Please go easy on me.
