Yeah. Ill try as much as I can to get it neutral with a shaft in. Any idea about how to fix the muzzle flip? Also, anything you can see wrong in the video?

It might be that my gun just kicks like a muel but from the video I don't see much recoil at all. Is that a 16mm band? What % is it loaded to?

Mine at full speed for a comparison. I know it's not a roller but it may help I guess.

I went to rebalance the gun today, and it's a lot better now. It sinks evenly really slowly (almost neutral) with a shaft and floats without a shaft. Much better than my last balancing test. I added some weight to the tip of the muzzle and removed quite a bit from the rear of the gun and 3/4 front of the gun.
I took a target with me, it was incredibly murky and could hardly see beyond 4m. Im hitting bullseye shots at 5m distance and I tried a 6m shot but couldnt see the target but still managed to hit it. Incredibly happy. Recoil feels as if I havent even shot the gun. I think im shooting at a good distance with a short gun (87cm) The muzzle does lift but it seems as though the shaft has already completely exited the gun. Ill upload some videos of the results by tomorrow but sorry for the bad visibility. Ill take some more vids on target practise in better visibility when I get the chance.
Also, the gun feels ultra light in the water. There is absolutely no effort to aim the gun, just sits there like a cloud. Loving it!
Im stoked!

To answer your questiin whitey. Im using 16mm Pathos SP bands. I cut them to 310% and I can have shots from 320 to 380% as the bands stand. I can also set the gun to a weak 250% if I need to shoot any type of scorpionfish, rockfish etc
A quick video of the rollergun I made. It's still being tested out and this isnt the final product. Some small changes still to be made, and a few more coats of polyurethane varnish to be done and a good polish. Loading butt still not attached either. Watch it in HD 720p
Haha thanks. Im very happy so far. Next to get some fish with it!
Id be happy to make anyone a gun but surely you guys know much more than me hehe

Haha yeah right. Yhough I wanna get more ambitious. Will definately be making a double roller and an invert gun next!

Erm... not that ambitious ill start with a mono inverted roller and a double rollergun first, then we will see.
Never been too interested in carbon guns tbh.

Let's go! Let's start a new trible thread about our invert roller builds. Foxfish are you in?

I really enjoyed the challenge of carbon but it is just about the most difficult product to work with!
There are three different project pictured, two have detailed threads on here.

Ha Ha yeah not easy work & I doubt if I will ever go to that amount of trouble again but the finished gun was so beautiful to look at and as strong as Roquefort !
I do enjoy multi laminate guns though & I have an idea for a new build.....
Problem is I built over 30 didgeridoos last year & now I am going to start on a banjo so time is in short supply ...

"Will a didgeri doo?"
"Mmm mmummm mummm mummm mummm mummm, maybe it'll have too."
Sorry! "How much can a koala bear?"
Just an old aussie craik.
Wow! Love the spearguns, it's certainly encouraged me to look at your previous posts. Care to share some photo's of your didge's too? Do you think the cyclic breathing helps your diving?
Cheers Sharkey
