Re: AHH!! How do I know how big a Halibut is when it's burried!!!!!
Safties don't do a damn bit of good on a speargun if something in the mech breaks.
You can tell halibut size by how far apart the eyes are. It's one of those experience things - you look at enough hundreds of them and you'll start to get it. |

Re: AHH!! How do I know how big a Halibut is when it's burried!!!!!
I think this thread got a little off topic. What Dave and others are trying to say I think, is that the safety is best utilized to check the legality of a halibut.
1. Measure safety. 2. Find Halibut 3. Lay gun on sleeping halibuts head, using the safety to gauge the size of its eye and determine if it is legal

Re: AHH!! How do I know how big a Halibut is when it's burried!!!!!
There is a sharp A$$ tip on that thing which is a danger to anyone if it is loaded or not. If you are diving in conditions which are rough enough to make you want to put the safety on the gun should not be loaded. You should be worring about where the tip is and not weather the safety is on or off. A gun with a safety on when its butt is jammed against a rock and the water is forcing you or your buddy onto the tip is a serious issue.
If you like a safety great but know where the tip is pointed at all times keep it away from you and your friends.

Re: AHH!! How do I know how big a Halibut is when it's burried!!!!!
