Dont forget to tell em DG  the pointy end goes towards the fish  :smt002

And I thought that was a given until I saw the  post with a guy who had a spear stuck in his rear.

I should take a few pics of my sling and post them along with how to get parts and build it.i shot this one through a 1/2 piece of plywood. It is also a larger diameter so it's a little easier to hold. I should come up with a sling with a trigger.

I just ordered the RA 70 with a reel.
Thanks for the link Tote :) .
I'm looking forward to this gun.
I want to mount my gopro on it
Maybe add a light.
Think I just use it for a bit before I do anything

I think you will love that gun. Acutally, I want a RA 70 myself. I have four guns, and the RA 90 is great, but just a bit big for the shallow water I still hunt in... The 90 will serve me better for So Cal and deeper water... And when I can keep up with the big boys on this site  :smt002

The Rob Allen 70 or 80 are good guns for up here in NorCal. I would get the open muzzle so that you can go into cracks and pick away the fish. It still has enough punch for the open water shots as well. Neptonic Systems is where I bought mine.
