I've got the tee shirt. Bought mine in Florida. Also got a selection of other similar ones plus some great car stickers. Got "Work is for people who don't know how to fish." and "Fish tremble at the sound of my name." Both from New York last year. The Yanks are the experts at this type of humour.
Guns are Omer XXV Gold (short spear), Beuchat Marlin Pro, Omer Excaliber (belongs to Spaniard), Custom woodie.
Try what you like with double bands but my experience backs up the usually accepted practice. 90cm ali or carbon gun with a 6.5mm diameter spear can take a single band up to 18mm. Any more and you get high recoil and spear bending which makes the gun innaccurate and nasty to fire. If you have a full length rail (open track) and up the spear to 7mm diameter you can go for a single 20mm band. With this set you might be able to fit 2 x 14mm or 2 x 16mm bands but unless the gun has a really good trigger (Omer) and a heavy barrel (Omer cayman) then the gun won't be able to hit a barn door. Double bands need high mass (weight) guns to absorb recoil. The Italian wood guns are great examples.
The Omer XXV gun is one to look at if you want long range. 6.3 mm spear, stiff carbon barrel, full length rail and 18mm band. Thin spear gives less recoil and higher speed. Trigger is varient on the famous T20, one of the best. Spearo Dave has some fancy single band guns which are supposed to be good performers.
Otherwise for double rubber set up the new ali Omer Cayman has a new design high mass eliptical stock and will handle 2 bands. Then there's Totum sub and other "woodies". Nice price though (over £200).
So to sum up IMHO you'd spoil your gun with 2 bands. Save up and buy a better single band gun or save up some more and buy an even more costly 2 band gun. However must say I'd go for accuracy and smoothness over range anyday.
Hope that's helped.
