Nkob

Ok I'm the New Kid On the Block. Please no Donnie Wahlburg comments! I heard about this site from the spearfishing forum on 2coolfishing.com. I'm new to the sport and looking to jump in. I'm a long time snorkler and surfer, but just bought my first gun. I'm a handy guy and looking to mod the gun and build my own wood gun over the winter. Nice to be here!

Re: Nkob

never met cheif, but yeah. My mom's on the water and I'm about 2 blocks from it. Basically you go throgh mathis...drive towards the state park and turn right just before sunrise beach....county road 10.

Does anyone have some good closeup pictures of a Billers front end so I can see how they wrap the line around the shaft. I'm thinking of making a prototype out of a 2x4 just for practice. Not sure how I want to go with a mid handle gun and just have a harder time putting in a trigger, or go with a rear handle gun where you just drill out a 1" hole and pin the firing mech in.
