Wow I just about have my gear so I might just as well start looking for a gun. Any suggestion?? As with all scuba things the prices vary so much and I know so little. I hope this isn't like my shotgun collection. One for this type of hunting another for that type you catch my drift don't ya.

Thanks FM

Actually it is!

I have three and just purchased a fourth!

I would reccomend a AB Biller 48" gun.  If you want to splurge a bit more and get a better shooter get a riffe.

Probably a good all around size would be the :

#H Hawaiian
50" (127 cm)
5/16" X 55"

Go see Carlos at Bay Breeze.  He will give you a good deal.  Tell Bmoore sent ya!  On second thought maybe don't tell him that.........

Get the largest gun you can comfortably load quickly.    In the gulf on the same dive you could see a 65 lb cobia or only 2 lb snappers . A good 50 or 55 inch gun would be great.

If I do a drop and see nothing but average size fish I only load the bands I need for those size fish.  Definatley get a three band gun.     Some people use the two  recommended size bands for snapper and grouper fishing. Then when they run across bigger prey they just load the third (maxed out jumbo extra short ) band for the kill on a big fish!!!!!

Clay just bought a new Riffe and ordered it with bigger bands. I was impressed with the differnce it made over my stock Riffe bands. 

When I can walk again im gonna let Clay take us out on our boat to teach him how to use it (The Riffe that is)

which model? Im confused about the pistol grip locations on different guns. What does this do? Once you buy a gun you need to get "Shafts and Tips" where should I go in this direction. How does the like spool up on this gun?

Thanks for the help Fred
