Hi guys
I recently joined the spearfishing world , I got a Mares Phantom 95 FV with 19'' stock bands, very accurate but i want a little bit more of power , everybody is telling me to use 2, 16'' bands but i wanna hear it from people with more experience in bands spearguns, all my friends have pneumatic guns but for some reason i like bands a lot more, i would really appreciate any suggestions, thanks
 
Id always start with shortening one band at a time. Cut a 2-3 inches out of one and see how you like it. Then shorten the other if you like how it felt.
 
I think you mean 19mm bands and changing to two 16mm bands, the thickness of the rubber not the length. Am I right?
