freediver7 said:If I were the Rob Allen I would either give the guns away at cost and mark up the shafts or I would sell guns at a mark up and give away the shafts.

I can not figure out why most Euro do not use full RAIL like RA or like JBL for instance. Money saving scheme or they were not serious back then.....I don't know. It is such a pity that the Euro gun with long time tradition simply get whacked by a new comer from RA.....my my. I realy think guys like Rob Allen is a must for the spearo, let the other Euro guns realized that they are behind time.

...my single band RA 110 I have shot all my biggest fish from 30 to 73lbs with this little baby. However I do agree with you the range isnt all that great, out at the reef I have missed chances where the spear drops short due poor range on my 110 on big doggies...
cheers
shaneshac said:Sorry I have to repeat myself but where can I buy a RA in europe. If not do they mail order.
How much would a 110 with 20mm bands cost?
freediver7 said:... I shot my Rob Allen 120CM point blank in to the rocks with no major effect to the shaft. The draw back is his shafts snap at the notch. however the shafts are only $20 each which is much less than a new Riffe shaft.
poacher said:The fact that bands with screw on ends are not easy for the do it yourselsf guy to make at home therefore forcing him to buy more expensive usually genuine bands increasing the manufacturers after sales profit wouldn't have anything to do with the Euro manufacturers likeing this system would it?
marginatus said:By the way, in the RA the band is also linear and the overall band lenght that is making the pull is bigger... the rails make sense for bigger guns (in my 1.2m RA it makes sense) but, as i think that Mark said/implied for smaler guns it's not a need... For me, if you like your gun and your a sucessfull hunter with it - it is the best gun in the world (for you, until you get used to another one)
