Hog Slayer from Miami, FL

I bought my 970 about two years ago and i have know complaints. Gun Is very light and accurate i have used it in blue water to bag 20+ pound dolphin and in the reefs to wrangle nice size grouper. Gun really packs a punch without sacrificing accuracy. Very versatile gun highly recomended. Read more

Cyrano 1100

Maximus from Fiji Islands

I bought my 1100 in 1997 and have travelled with it to many countries including where I live now Fiji. it has been an excellent performer only problem I have had with it was the de-power bolt came off but I never used it anyway. this gun shoots as straight as a gun you line up and squeeze the trigger slowly and you will hit the target. I RECOMMEND getting the spring steel shafts it will save you in the long run. length is an issue for some regarding loading I am 6''1 so no problem but you could adapt a clamp on handle half way up the tube for your foot to help loading. maintenance is easy wash it spray it with WD and store it point down so the internal oil runs to the tip and it will last longer than any band gun. "11 years so far" one last thing about the Air powered gun is that is so small underwater compared to a band gun very slippery easy to turn and change direction in currant and also reduced your size in the water so not to scare the fish. HAPPY SPEARING. Read more

This is the BEST gun!

Bau Bau Gene from Tortola, British Virgin Islands

I will always own a 44 inch Mares. The only problem is that at like 30 feet and deeper it looses its power. The deeper the less power. Great gun powerwise in shallower depths. Read more

750 mares cyrano

onebreath from point roberts, WA

I have owned this MAres 750 for nearly 6 years now, after 5 years of rubber-gun hunting.. Northeast and northwest USA all season.. from 5 lb flounder to 20 lb striped bass.. to 15 lb lingcod and tons of rock fish in between.. this gun is fabulous...packs the same punch as a rubber gun 30% longer. i have only recharged it twice with the pump that is supplied in the package.. i suggest buying a 6mm adapter to improve your spear-tip selection, and always store it barrel down. I am hoping to spear some salmon this season and stash it in the kayak before anyone knows. I will absolutely by a bigger one (950) with a reel for some blue water monster hunting.. the rubber die-hards dont know what they are missing Read more

Mares pnematics-- a good choice for some

Mares pnematics-- a good choice for some

Gregg from Rhode Island

Mares pneumatics are well made and you can take thousands of shots before recharging. If you going after fish over 5 lbs., you should get the 85cm or 97cm guns, as they have the power you need. Guns over 97cm can be difficult to load, especially if you're short; they are also bulky for long dives. The first few times you load your pneumatic, you're likely to feel awkward and think it's really hard; but with practice, you get better. The downside to all pneuamtics is servicing: Everyone services bandguns and the usual problem is just worn out bands; few shops service pneuamtics and you often have to ship the gun back to Mares.
