Imo the gun is for bigger prey than what I would use it for. My pb is 47ft deep,took the level 1 FII with Martin Stepanek, I've been freediving for about 5 years and actually was registered with a different name years ago but forgot the username. I guess in Florida reefs I can do with my riffe and mares gun for now until time allows me to get better. This gun came from someone. Associated with Longfins spearfishing. Club, and he is no slouch, used to be the distributor for Marc Valentin Speargun and in his opinion gun is better suited for bigger fish and coming from someone with that experience. I'll take his word. The pics are posted in the listing.
Dude not to hijack your thread... but the above description of the Dominican Republic divers is reminiscent of a good friend from my Navy Diver days. His name is Ulysses 'Lucky' Morerro (spelling escapes me) and he was from DR. This dude would put gloves on his feet, made a scuba backpack out of plywood, wetsuit all sorts of holes in it, break out an old home made aluminum gun made out of God know what... swim out to Watch Hill reef in Rhode Island and shoot huge bass. Then he'd go back out with his catch bag and get a bunch of spider crabs, conch, clams, sea urchins and what ever else was laying about. I asked him what all that crap was for... his reply? "That chit make a good stew mang." My point? He is awesome. That's it.

Beautiful gun. I'd make an offer but my patient and loving wife would kill me with dirty looks if I bought another. Hell... the Hatch that is on the way... well, I'm going to have to explain that one soon enough.

Cheers

I remember you posting about him years back with some pictures. That was a good post.
