HOW TO SPEARFISH | Taking Your First Shot & Target Practice

[@1Spacecore]

*KEY POINTS* 0:14 _Holding the Rifle_ 1. 0:19 - Hold like a pistol, not rifle. do NOT hold the barrel - hand will get caught in mono line. Don't keep close to your face unless you want a bruise + broken visor! 2. 0:56 Hold your speargun outstretched, with one hand. If supporting with second hand, put second hand on first hand. 1:23 _Target Practice_ After underwater target set up with weights at a distance of ~2m: 1. Breathe up, dive to sea floor. Prop yourself up on the sand/rock. 2. Relax, straighten your arm with speargun in dominant hand, look down barrel. Once relaxed and aligned with target, pull trigger. 3. 1:54 KEEP ARM STRAIGHT! Vital for accuracy. 4. Keep practicing. After practice, extend distance of underwater target to 4-6m. 5. Be sure to have float line + float attached to gun.

Nice. In Winter when the fish are asleep this is probably a good activity. It might also be a good time to get your weight right.

Went out diving on New Year’s Day and used a speargun for the first time, managed to spear a nice size butterfish 🤤

This is unreal, yet again!

Hey mate, how do you slow your heart rate down without breathing? Ahaha. It’s a serious question

[@rubengrainger4352]

Possibly a slow controlled exhale?

There's no secret technique. It's all about how much oxygen your blood can carry. You get better at it by just holding your breath a lot. Don't try to do any breathing techniques as that is exactly how people get black outs and pass out. How do you increase your bench press? You bench press.
