No,no, no-
I would of said 1in=1nm, although that would be better since a nm=6080ft whereas a statute mi=5280ft. OK I'll go w/ chart. And thats my final answer.

Helldivers Rodeo

You guys should try to make it to the Helldivers Rodeo June 6-9.
You can check out their site at www.helldivers.org. Its always a blast lots of food, diving, drink and of course, dive groupies.

Just for you Jay,
most of last years winners were using those girlie Euro guns I eluded to earlier.

Cheers,

ARGGH! It's alluded , NOT eluded!!
When you elude something or someone, you're escaping from them. When you ALLUDE to something, you are directing the current conversation towards an opinion or topic.

As in, you're alluding to attending the Hell Diver's doings being a good time. From my experience, those yokels are dilluded.

That's why i prefer a .338 mag but the 12 is still the cheaper so you get more bang for the buck :duh

Bang for your buck?

Matey, you're doing something wrong .... if you get a eauro, you don't have to pay for banging .....

And as for the lumber bit, I was referring to good ol' teak pole, aka Riffe Blue Water ....

BTW, seems like Andrsn's also going for a Rob Allen ..... no wonder .... This was, of course, taken by a 'girlie euro' Rob Allen Railgun ....

263.9kg Black Marlin speared by Brad Neilson at Mapelane, Northern Zululand. (Pending World Record)
Equipment used: 1.4m Rob Allen Railgun with double -rubber muzzle. shaft: length 1.9m, 7.5mm diameter.

The most bang for you buck? Forget the wong hybrid, takes quite awhile to get used to. Dont get me wrong on the wong, its a nice gun I have a 55 in titanium hybrid. My friend uses a 55 in midhandle teak with good results also. But for simplicity and ease of use I would get a 110 omer or rob allen. My dive partner uses a 110 omer aluminum (the cheap 140$ one) and just scrapes when he wants fish. Easy to load and deadly accurate with a good price. alohas

sup before you buy a speargun you need to ask yourself what it is your going to hunt the most.
this will greatly have an affect of what type of gun to buy.
Generaly people use wood guns to shoot pelagic fish(tunas, marlin, wahoo) because they suposedly shoot farther and pack a bigger punch. However people are known to shoot big marlins with RAs.

By far European guns are easier to use( easier to load, easier to manuever in the water) and they are deadly accurate(doesnt matter what type to gun if you stone em).
If you do more reef hunting I would get a eurogun. I have a 75cm Omer excaliber and love it. its not the longest of guns but when I need to go into a whole its easy to get in and out. It also shoots alot farther than many people think. and its very accurate.
besides if you think you need more power you can always change your muzzle to accomadate two rubbers if you think you need it.

Most people that go reef hunting with wood guns only use 2 rubbers anyway. and thats to move that thick 9/32 shaft.

you could always make your own euro gun by buying a handle w/trigger mechanism from hanapaa, a pipe and a muzzle if you wanted to. Hanapaa sells muzzles that can house 2 or 3 rubbers depending on what you need.

well hope this helps

aaaaahh, last question...

Thanks a lot guys for all your help. I’ve been definitely convinced to wait a bit and perhaps save a little extra money away for a nice rig. Once you add in expenses for how much fresh fish you eat from the gun you buy, it’s definitely worth it to buy a quality gun. Sooooo I decided on the Yokooji hybrid BUT once again I started thinking for another 35 bucks I can get a Wong enclosed track…. Is it worth it? Is it any better than the hybrid? Its funny how within a week, my mind has changed about 15 times…
