This is an interesting idea. As mentioned above, hidden laminates will be the easiest way to achieve this. Make sure the hidden inner wood is very straight and stable. Looking at the wood color, it...

Re: Urgently help for rubber.
For the last notch, use a band around 44cm (3.5x stretch). Make sure to use good quality rubber. I assume your shaft is near 6.5mm thick, so one 16mm band or two 14mm bands should work well. Please...

Re: Urgently help for rubber.
Use one 16mm rubber. Are you making your own bands? What is the distance from last notch to band hole?

Band choice/stretch for 90cm pipe gun?

Re: Band choice/stretch for 90cm pipe gun?
Simple, clean sight picture, low recoil, but less power. The lesser power is nice and sufficient if you use a 6.5mm shaft. With the 7mm shaft it'll work but with less range than 2 14mm bands.

Use 2 14.5 bands at 3.5 stretch to start or 1 16mm band at 3.4 stretch maximum.

This is interesting, since I've been thinking a lot about how to maximize performance with 1 band. I know the principles are the same, I just need to try a variety of bands and shafts now.

There are actually less factors in making a good standard gun and you can have great performance.

Re: Quality bands
Can you post pictures? That would help a lot.
What size shaft?
What pull length?
That's a lot of power. I doubt you really need more bands.
Which guns are you comparing it to?

Re: Riffe Mid-Handle Bottom - 20mm band length?
The Riffe Bottom will kick like a mule with more than one 20mm band. Buy a little rubber. 6 feet of 14mm rubber might cost $15 and shoot far better.

Pathos D'Angelo 1 will cost same as rob allen or less and is a solid choice. Rob Allen is strong but with a lower handle.

Re: Aimrite King vs. Riffe Mach 5; Advice?
What do you want to shoot? What's your budget? I don't have a gun to sell but I'll give my input. There are custom and semi-custom guns that go for the price of these guns snd shoot way better.

Re: Early Riffe Speargun
If still straight just oil it and it'll look great.
The spear looks quite thick. Get a 7mm spear and use 2 x 14mm bands and it'll be even better than new.
