Re: The DeeperBlue.net Gun Building Extravaganza - The Build

Hi all havent had time to post much lately and I must say I really would have liked to follow this one from the beginning.
I did however add my input and vote on the handle placing
This is gonna be one amazing piece of equipment when done!
My input in the handle thread...

"Id say a slightly forward handle will suit the gun well. With euro guns being mostly made of ali or carbon the gun tip is not that heavy. A timber construction is in essence much heavier and solid than both other materials used to make guns so the slightly forward handle will apart from being aesthetiacally pleasing also allow for better distribution of weight and give you a well balanced gun when in the water...

Another nice idea mite be to have a double handle with a rear trigger handle and another one set forward and from that one to give you a similar effect but this will limit the movement and speed of the gun to the hunters ability to manouver both hands simultaniously"
