The DeeperBlue.net Gun Building Extravaganza - Gun Options 4 - Trigger Location

I voted for a forward handle, just hoping it's meant as "slightly" forward, not a mid handle.
For how I see it, the slightly forward handle is = slighlty backwards trigger mech (just like on C4, Cayman, Effesub), giving a bit more band stretch and, theoretically, more "power" than a gun of equal overall length.
What doesn't convince me with midhandle is the following: with a midhandle, my own body is closer to the spear tip, and closer to the fish. But in my waters the fish are not easy to get close so that I guess a midhandle wouldn't help. Just theory anyway.
So when will the poll end up then?

Hopefully it will. A little more band stretch, a more balanced construction and a slightly longer loading pad too, will make it a better gun to load, track and shoot.
I couldn't imagine people to be so traditionalist here. Do they kow that traditionalism is blasphemy?

Unfortunately this is out of my control as Stephan started the poll he has to end it. I think there will be a days notice & it will be very soon, so get that trigger falward all you non voters!

Well I think perhaps the best solution would be to take measurements of an existing gun and have the Gits make a wooden version. I don't know I think it must be just my over active imagination but I have so many ideas about guns and how they might work but the thought of what could be made and what probably will be made is killing my will to live.

Alright, I confess, I voted Rear / rear. Everyone has mentioned it being different, I couldn't help but notice that both of my current guns are mid, and rear plus (I like Mr. Wong's term). So, in my arsenal, a full rear handle would be different. Can't wait 'till it arrives!

Dont start counting your chickens yet... Ive already got a nice space on my gun rack for this one!:blackeye

 

[TOOmas]

wow that was a close one... what will the next pole be on?

 

[Pastor]

I would imagine it would be on barrel shape as the other current thread is called the pre poll something or other about barrel shape. But until people start making some sort of discussion I think it would be hard for Foxfish and his crew to come up with any sort of poll at all for us to choose from.

BTW I came across this rather attractive wooden gun today: spearotiki
(Any forum members own one?)

BTW, if a rear handle is selected, would it still be possible to have a rear trigger mech (something Pastor described previously) to a little extra power?

(Foxfish - has Island Sands voted yet?)
