I'm going spearfishing for the first time in two weeks. I have a new rail speargun which I have never shot. I would like to try it out before the trip to become familiar, but I don't have access to any water of pool to do that. I'm wondering if there is a safe way to fire the gun on land - perhaps into a bale of hay of some other object to absorb the impact. Any opinions, ideas on this?
Also, what does it feel like when you shoot the speargun and miss the fish, does the free flying spear try to yank the gun from your hand?
