Dear Spearos,
MAKO Spearguns is having another Ebay auction to benefit The Fisher House which helps our wounded soldiers and their families during their time of recovery.

Similar to the Ronald McDonald House, the Fisher House assists American service men and women who have been wounded in battle. The Fisher House buys and maintains properties near military hospitals, thus allowing the families of the wounded soldiers to stay with them in their time of need. I was fortunate enough to meet the people at The Fisher House, located near Walter Reed Hospital and they are some of the finest people I have ever met and they work very hard to maintain a five star rating among charitable organizations.

MAKO Spearguns donates 100% of the winning bid directly to The Fisher House. We also offer free shipping anywhere in the USA. Our Ebay auctions present opportunities for all parties involved. You, the spearo have an opportunity to pick up some cool gear at a reduced price. MAKO Spearguns also benefits by driving traffic to our website. The Fisher House gets much needed exposure and of course, and most importantly, our soldiers and their families benefit as well.

Currently being auctioned is a Oceanic ETR (Enclosed Track Railgun).

Featuring a Fully Enclosed Track with a Twin Rail Barrel, this is the only gun of its kind and BUILT FOR BIG GAME!

The "MAKO Oceanic ETR" was designed by Chad Morris (aka Griswold) and Jeff DeRocher (aka Tin Man), two spearo/designers from the Bayous of Louisiana who spent years designing, machining and fabricating custom spearguns and related underwater hunting gear. Known as "The Bayou Design Team", Jeff and Chad have built a reputation by combining innovative designs with the latest in high tech material and quality workmanship.

What is an Enclosed Track Railgun (ETR)? By nature, Railguns are more accurate and more powerful than regular euro guns. This is because of the integrated rail barrel which supports and guides the spear down the rail (barrel) as it exits the gun. This additional support, by the integrated rail reduces "spear whip" and drastically increases accuracy.

To view the current auction, go to MAKO Spearguns and Spearfishing Gear and click on "Ebay Auctions".

NOTE: If you are not in need of the items currently being auctioned, you can still contribute to The Fisher House by visiting Home | Fisher House Foundation.

Thank you very much for taking time to read this.

Dive safe,
Dano
