Why are guns made with enclosed tracks?

Enclosed tracks are crap. I can’t believe any gun has them

Your videos completely changed my spearfishing for the better. Great work. I have a 105mm gun fitted with 2 14mm bands at 360%. It’s sublime. I wish one day you would test the meandros argo like of guns, I would love to know what you think of them.

Many thanks for this video....very informative! I recently bought a new Pathos 82 pro (closed muzzle, aluminum tube with open guide, D'Angelo I). Factory setup is with an 120cm 6.5mm faceted point shaft and a single 19mm 26cm black pathos band. 1) In your opinion, if I want to keep a single band setup for simplicity and quick reload, which combination of band dia/length & shaft dia/length would you chooce for max speed/highest accuracy/minimum recoil ? I hunt very shallow (hole hunting/shallow ambush) in rocky areas for small/medium white fish mostly so my setup needs to be able for quick max speed shots but also be able handle some shots on rocks/holes without my shaft bending every time... 2) gun seems a bit heavy on hand during ambush...do you think that changing the tube with a carbon one will help me obtain more neutral buoyancy?

I know it’s been a long time and it looks like you don’t post anymore but a tutorial on how to improve a setup like you did with the 95 would be amazing. How to make the bands you used, better shafts etc

Exceptional job! Very clear and detailed.

Another awesome test video👏 thanks for all your effort man!

Hey, how’s it going?! Been using the Hero storm 95cm lately! Have it paired with a 7mm x 130cm Sigalsub shaft and 2 x 14mm at 330% primeline bands. I’ve been getting off accuracy in some shots and gotten dead center shots in some. Is there some way I can buy from you the same shaft that you have in the storm 95cm? I wanna have the exact same configuration to have perfect accuracy and no shaft drop. “I’m new in Spearfishing so I’m not that of an expert on the configurations”. I’m going to try and pool test the setup that I have to check if there’s something wrong, been shooting pan size snapper from 1lb to 2lb and been missing shot at 3 o 4ft of distance, and that’s actually insane missing that close. I’ve tried shooting barracudas right off my face and missed, shots seem to be off some how! If there’s a way I can buy a couple of those shafts it will be awesome! Here’s my Gmail Puertoricofishingpage@gmail.com , will be nice to have a talk with you! Thanks for the awesome video, I’ve learned a lot from it. 🎉

Thanks for the great videos. Have you experimented with 1 band setups for shorter guns? It could be interesting to see for example how an 85cm performs with different band thickness/stretch choices using a light shaft (e.g. 6.5mm).

Hello, have you tried to improve the 115 gun so that it shoots 7-8 m to the target?

At what factor are the tires cut?

👍👍👍

@majdq8 do you happen to know if the updated Deangelo 2 or the Deangelo 3 applied your feedback ? I’m looking to buy a pathos as my next gun 🤙

Interesting to see these results which will help me with the design of my new self-built wooden gun. Some very accurate shooting there my friend! Great vid!

Hey buddy are you ok? You still weren’t here…What dou think about the 2x16mm small ıd rubber and 8mm 150cm shaft? Maybe rubbers has less power than 3x14,14,5 but is it enough for the penetration to long range.See you again buddy

Really good job on the testing! What setup would you recommend for the 105 , using the default 7.5 mm shaft? Two 14.5 mm small ID, or two 16 mm small ID bands (and at what stretch %)? Is it worth changing to a lighter 7 mm shaft (of proper quality) ? Thanks.

thank you! can you recommend a band setup and shaft for riffe competitor 3x??

With 120cm band stretch like the Abellan in the video, probably 3 bands 14/14,5 mm would be exceptional with an 8*150 shaft. I’m considering this setup or 2*15 small I’d for 8mm shaft

Fantastic video I would like to ask you about my speargun I have a speargun with a 6,5 mm shaft and 2 14 mm bands can I put a 6, 75 or a 7 mm or I have to change them to 15 mm ? The speargun is wooden and the bands are cressi. From salvimar wich one you suggest ARES or Nightmare ? both in 95 Thanks

What 7.5mm shaft from sigalsub do you recommend exactly? There are a lot of options.

What do you think about the carbon models in the 110 and 120 range?

Can you give me an advice. I want to change my sniper to roller but i first have to change the floater. Do you have any idea how to do it

Hi Majd, thanks for sharing all this interesting data, key point I have learned from you, 1) No matter what, always test new spearguns or new shafts before going fishing. 2) Test different bands/shafts combination to get the perfect result for your type of fishing. 3) General rule of thumb, gun size 85 to 95 should work great with 7mm/14mm primeline small ID, gun from 105 to 115 should work great with 7to7.5mm/14.5mm primeline small ID. Have you seen the new Salvimar Nightmare which is basically a Salvimar Hero but with 16mm Primiline bands (not sure if they used micro ID or regular ID for the nightmare). Once thing is sure Salvimar has moved over to using Primeline bands.

Hello, first of all, thank you very much for making such useful videos. I need some advice. I have a bleu acid carbon 110 carbon. I want to make a combination using 8mm 140-150 cm shaft and 3x14.6mm 380 small ID. Will it be effective? I would be happy if you share your thoughts on this subject.

How much does it cost would you let me buy it ?

So I just got a hero storm 95, and was hoping you could go a little more in depth about your set up with it. Especially the shaft, as mine did not come with one and I'd like to make sure I get a good one

Do you find you have to cut bands after the first few uses? I cut to 360% and loved my gun. It’s now firing a little soft faster about 10 uses. I think the way you handle this is by making longer wishbones and shortening the wishbones. I’ll try that I’m gonna try to get them as short as I can. Thx for vids they are amazing.

So , can a pathos pro with d angello 1 can be converted to an invert roller and absorb heavier loads than d angello 2 without future problems?

greetings... I have a pathos open laser pro 100 cm rifle with factory natural latex tires 2x16mm (black)... now I'm thinking about an upgrade... 2x18mm some progressive lastik rubbers... does it make any sense or is there no improvement? how good are these black factory natural latex rubbers that come original with the pathos rifle anyway? thank you for your answer and opinion! I read on the internet that actually switching from smaller mm rubbers to bigger ones can be actually a downgrade - that the power of the arrow's range will decrease, as well as the accuracy? thanks in advance!

How to order?

Plss sponsor mi speargun sir

Hey man, you probably get this question a lot but what are your favorite rollers? Looking to get a Pathos Roller Sniper 95 for reef and smaller blue water fish, kind of a do it all gun. What are your favorites?

Hola amigo me interesa. Saber que precios tienes esos arpones.? Por favor

Hello sir Good day to you . Hope all is okay and fine . You didn't do posting new videos in a very long time hope all is okay . God bless you . Hope you can post again .

Hi Majdq8, hopefully this reaches you soon. I am unable to post on Spearboard as a new user and I dont know who who else to ask besides mario himself thru instagram. But, I am currently working on a personal upgrade/build. Starting off with the Ermes Avatar handle, the "male insertion" piece is about 4mm too long for my barrel+plug. I am unsure of how to trim the plug itself within the barrel because it looks a little different (space for possible ballasting?). I could cut/file down the insert to my desired length but I would most likely compromise the first o-ring slot. As you would know, there are 2 o-ring slots and I only need the 2nd one since it is for a 26mm id barrel. I would just be sacrificing future builds if I were to buy a different barrel and choose to use the same handle for whatever reason. Would this have any effect on the structure of the handle in any way under pressure of band load of a conventional 120 gun? Thanks in advance

Hello Majd, I installed this Ermes Pathos Sear kit on a D'angelo 2, but still on occasion experience a very tough trigger pull. I may have to sell the gun if it cannot shoot crisply. Any thoughts? 100cm Pathos, two 14mm small ID bands at 360% stretch, shooting the original Pathos spear. Thanks for any insight!

Salam brother, and thank you for all these great videos. So much real life testing! I just saw the video of RA about tri-cut vs. pencil spear tips. What is your experience as you shoot to foam targets and RA uses ballistic gel. Not sure which target material is closer to a Kingfish (Khanat) fish body for comparing different shafts? No idea. I thought a tri-cut penetrates better - especially can break bones or cartilage better (my my logics in physics) - but looks it is not what it seem like. Amazing topic. Thanks for your kind feedback brother. Regards from Panama ><)))*>

I put the 14.5 mm salvimar bands on the Hero 95 and it is giving me the same issue. I guess is the 7 mm shaft

obrigado pelo test. a canaleta da arma é excelente porem na hora do disparo a arma treme muito perdendo a precisão o mergulhador tem que aplicar muita força em mãos para segurar coice da arma. 1 trocar os tamanhos da liga 2 refazer este cabeço na roller. a empunhadura parece ser excelente. existe armas mais baratas que ao todo apresentam qualidade bem superior e com custo beneficio melhor. ex sigal sub. thanks for the test. the channel of the weapon is excellent, but when shooting the weapon shakes a lot, losing precision, the diver has to apply a lot of strength in his hands to hold the weapon's recoil. 1 change garter sizes 2 remake this bollard on the roller. the grip seems to be excellent. there are cheaper weapons that in all have much higher quality and with a better cost benefit. ex sigal sub in which the weapon is only to be desired in the channel but in the rest it surpasses the weapon.

Súper fan of your videos and hard data, thank you !, Did you evert test the invert roller? I’m very interested in inverts

hello, I have a Pathos sniper 85 harpoon, can you suggest a double tire combination with 6.75 skewers?

my friends are jealous of the killer set up i have THANKS TO YOU and i have recently bought a custom 125 wood gun using 160cm x 7.5mm shaft. i only have 14mm small id and not 14.5mm small id. would you recommend i do 2 x 14mm stretched HOT or 3 x 14mm? thanks again man

এটার দাম কতো ভাই আমি একটা কিনবে

Awesome feedback, thank you 🙏🏻

Hi! I bought Salvimar Hero 105 recently, 2x16 mm bands, 140 cm long and 7,5 mm thick shaft. Should I change this shaft for a 8 mm thickness of the same length?

majd we are waiting for your videos the best
