Re: island riffe wings

You can easily make the wings yourself and add them. The wings from Riffe needed a ton of weights to make the balancing of the gun good on my gun. But man ... that gun is just not a good choice these days ... even with the wings the recoil is brutal ... and swimming with that gun is like swimming with a large wood oar. You can get much better performance by spending that time modifying a Pathos 130 gun with 2 bands ... and use the same 8mm shaft. That gun weighs about 1/4 the other gun ... and with 2 bands can easily outperform the other gun with 3 bands ... and is a joy to dive deep and swim with all day long ... shoots much more accurate with a lot more power ... and no longer to you have to accept punishment to your wrist. Speargun design has changed dramatically and those guns are really obsolete. The Riffe Euro is a huge improvement over these older guns.
