Re: Inverted Roller Build

For some reason, none of my friends are willing to let me shoot this thing in their pools?!? Hoping to get some shots with a GoPro for my next trip to Baja.

Re: Roller Build Help

I would also recommend going with a lighter shaft with this setup. I build a double roller and was using it with only one band after the second band broke (rubbed against the reef under tension). ...

Re: Inverted roller build

That's a big question. I would start by looking through all of the threads. I have one (albeit very incomplete) titled "inverted roller build." Also look at alemanni and other builders who post on...

Re: Inverted Roller Build

Thankya.

Per Phil's note, I wasn't sure if the band wishbones would pop off my "carbon waves" and I was a little worried that they might make the bands harder to load.

The stainless pins work...

Re: Inverted Roller Build

Gun all rigged up. I am going to switch out the 16mm "roller" band for an 18mm to add some power, but this configuration already has a lot of power. Used 16mm for all bands attaching to the bottom. ...

Re: Tackyness of epoxy (phils)

As long as the coat is "hard" to the touch, I would just lightly sand and recoat.

Re: Inverted Roller Build

Still need to take some pics of the final product, but put this gun through the paces last week and it exceeded my expectations.

First thing you notice is that there is almost zero felt recoil. ...

Re: More about the inverted polispast rollers

I just got back from Baha hunting wahoo, dorado, and little tuna with my inverted roller. I don't have the science-based pool testing to back up my claims, but this thing shoots absolute lasers with...

Yeah. I'm headed to Palapas Ventana. Don't know if Pete will be down there yet.

Re: SlipTip Spectra Holders

Hey Jon.

I took it out for a shoredive just to see if everything would work.

The lack of recoil is astounding. This thing has four 16mm small ID bands stretched to 360% pushing a five foot...

Re: Cracks in stock

Also, if the ends of the blank were moist enough to crack that badly from the sun, odds are the wood in the middle of the blank is also retaining a decent amount of moisture. Reaction with heat over...

Re: Cracks in stock

Odds are it will be ok after you cut the checked ends off.

However, considering how much time building a speargun takes, I personally would rather laminate a new blank then risk having some...

Re: Cracks in stock

It takes exotic hardwood a long time to fully dry. And they must dry properly, i.e. not at an accelerated rate in direct sunlight.

I would recommend using only kiln dried wood, largely eliminates...

Re: SlipTip Spectra Holders

Re-read my post. I clearly should have done a better job explaining the problems I was facing.

First, I have almost zero shaft overhang (Pic 1). I hate shaft overhang, to me, it's just more mass,...

SlipTip Spectra Holders

So Neptonics and a few other companies make sliptip cable holders that allow you to retain cable sliptips without tucking them into bands.

My new build is an inverted roller. There is simply...

Re: Butt Pad Ideas... mold rubber?

Jewelers rubber bench blocks from Amazon are fantastic. Very dense, but no slip and will last for eternity.

Attach great with epoxy and can be sanded to fit. Not much in terms of padding, if...

Re: First time Roller build

Without continuous straight edges on the sides of the blank, how are you planning on routing out the mech pocket and track? I noticed there was a gap on the outside laminates, this might pose a...

Re: Inverted polispast 110 camo

Without muzzle risers to lift up the line at the muzzle, does this add an extra step to reload the shaft?

Meaning, after you shoot this gun, the bands pull the line around the rollers which then...

Re: More about the inverted polispast rollers

I've found that the negative effects caused by a continuous band bending around a roller can be limited by a well designed muzzle riser and well designed sharkfin tabs on the spears. As long as the...

Re: Inverted Roller Build

Finally finished most of the aesthetics, and all of the shaping. Decided to go full throttle with the inlaid mirror fish.

Reshaped the handle a little bit so that it is as high up as humanly...

Re: Crimping stiff spectra

Is there any noticeable difference between the 1.4mm or 1.6mm nylon coated Catchall cable from the Neptonics 1/16"/1.6mm cable? Neptonics cable has been my go-to for a while and I'm a huge fan.

Re: reverse mechs... tell me why again?

That's a pretty reasonable angle, and works great on regular sized guns. Just becomes more difficult to get clean and easy with some designs, and I really enjoy playing with new lines and adding...
