Spearfishing is a very exciting activity. It can be considered a kind of symbiosis between fishing and full-fledged hunting. On the domestic market there is a huge assortment of various underwater guns, the most popular of which are pneumatic guns and crossbows (rubber combat guns).
Instructions
Step 1
If you want to choose a spearfishing gun, first of all, think about the conditions in which you will use it. The cost of guns opens up the possibility of purchasing them for a wide range of people in our country. Many people mistakenly believe that air guns need to be pumped with air after each shot. If the gun is working properly, then one pump is enough for the whole season. These guns use a harpoon that is blown out of the muzzle by compressed air. In the rubber fight guns, the harpoon is shot with a rubber rod, which is hooked on its edges.
Step 2
Use different types of rifles for ocean hunting and for hunting in regular freshwater bodies. If you are a beginner spear hunter, choose a rubber combat gun for the first time. It is much easier and more convenient to use than pneumatic. Choose an arrow for a gun with a simple single tip; a beginner does not need to use tridents.
Step 3
Over time, having gained experience, it will be possible to switch to more powerful types of spear guns. Also, don't forget to buy a variety of spearfishing equipment, which includes a rubber suit, mask, snorkel and fins. Suit and fins can be bought cheap. But choose professional and high quality masks and snorkels. After all, it depends on them how well you will see and breathe at depth.
Step 4
Remember that the mechanism of the gun requires regular and thorough maintenance, so after each hunting session, rinse it with clean water, removing sand and algae. It is also necessary to lubricate the gun mechanism as often as possible, removing old grease.
Step 5
Always buy multiple tips for your guns. So that in the event of a breakdown of the main one, you can always replace it with a spare. The quality of the purchased equipment must be checked right in the store in order to be able to make claims to sellers about the faulty goods. If you decide to go underwater hunting for the first time, in no case do it yourself, but use the services of a professional instructor.
