Open Muzzle - Line Wrap Question

Hi All,
Last week, I took my 14 yr old Grandson and his mate out spearing.

The friend had an open muzzle Euro gun and I noticed that the shaft was tending to drift away from the muzzle especially when it was unloaded.

The youngster but did not know at all how to wrap the line around the muzzle, so as to hold the shaft down in the track.

I asked him had he not been shown by anyone and he said he had bought the gun on line and there was no such instruction about how to wrap the line.

Got me wondering about how many other new spearo's there were, and if any accidents had occurred because of not securing the shaft down.

I tried doing a search but did not find anything in regard to this.

I assume that all open muzzle gun users, even those with magnets embedded in the muzzle, use the shooting line to secure the shaft?

Thanks,
Mike.
