Re: Putty or other ways to customize grip shape?

finished PU [Fix15] coated grip - pics below - per prev post, polymorph needs sanding for the PU to adhere well

thirty reef, FADs, and tuna dives in, and super happy with this grip! brings gun-arm-shoulder in line & spreads recoil across palm and wrist. the PU makes it super grippy for our gloveless tropical diving

if someone out there's doing a custom grip for a long RA pls remember its a very light gun, and while the modded grip has greatly imprvd accuracy and comfort for me - when those twin bands fly, technique is still crucial in nailing the shot [+ avoiding a sprained wrist!

small additional mod *find suitable material* is to make longer trigger as the Vecta2 trigger is quite short, and tho still comfortably reachable with the modded grip [hand rotated around behind handle], finger is only contacting lower half of trigger, not optimal when u want to be focusing 100% on gun alignment+bracing

thanks KY Tony, ReneJr, Diving Gecko and posters for the ideas to run with - and look forward to making this durable, light, cheap, accessible speargun even better
