I have 115 carbon beuchat marlin elite with 6.5 mm salvimar torsion shaft powered with 2 ,18mm rubberbandsbut need more power to shoot 5 meters distance,any suggestions pls?

Go with a 7 mm shaft and stick with the 2 X 18 bands. You are probably losing range, as well as accuracy, now due to being overpowered. A single 18 mm band is adequate for a 6.5 shaft. Standard on most guns for a 6.5 mm shaft is one 16 mm band.
You might try using just one band and see whether your range and accuracy improve.
I shoot a 110 Rob Allen with 2 X 14 mm bands, and have no problem with range out to the end of 1 wrap.

Hi Freewilly. I'm from Malta too. what bands are you using? I too am in the process of tuning my gun. i have a Beuchat Marlin Elite 95 (Alu not Carbon) with 6.7mm Beuchat shaft and 18mm bands. From what i have been reading lately, you should have more than enough with the current set up. i was thinking about two 16mm or leave it with one 18mm band but try another make such as H Dessault. The Beuchat bands have got a large 7mm diameter hole which means that they're not really 100% 18 mm. Other bands like dessault have a much smaller hole through the bands. keep us posted with updates. cheers

I have a Beuchat Marlin Carbon Elite 105 with 6.7mm Beuchat shaft and 18mm band. And it shoots with great accuracy for almost 5 meters ..
I think ur 115 need a heavier shaft .. 6.7mm would be the way to go ..
If u decide to go with 7mm shaft .. I would suggest a different make for the bands .. A the beuchat 18mm are a bit like the 16mm on my RobAllen

Good luck hunting ..

Dive safe ..

I currently have a 115 Beuchat carbon. I use a 17/64 shaft with two 9/16 bands. It's a solid setup and very accurate!

I am thinking of getting a Beuchat Marlin Elite but I am a little worried since the mechanism with the trigger is plastic as opposed to other guns such as Pathos whereby the mech is stainless steel. Are these plastic triggers and mechs reliable???

Honestly, i've changed it once and the new one looks like a little pass half of its life by now .. all this within the 3 years i owned the gun ..

nothing compete with the durability of RobAllen, Pathos and offcourse AimRight
