BlueTuna Spearfishing Target Practice

Target Practice

The ability to try before you buy applies to much of what we purchase. Cars, TV’s, shoes, deli meat, cell phones shirts, writing pens, software and even wine. But when it comes to the single most important element in spearfishing- the speargun, test driving is all but foreign concept. Not anymore!

Matt Davidson of Blue Tuna Spearfishing is a setting a new standard of service by arranging in-pool target shooting sessions where potential buyers can get wet and sample his line of handmade Andre Spearguns. I met up with Matt at Ventura Dive n’ Sport, in Southern California to get a first hand display of the precise speargun accuracy he pitches.

As I arrived, a crowd of spectators overlooked the water in quiet suspense. Matt was fully submerged wearing long fins and green camouflaged wetsuit; carefully setting up a shot. Without warning, the power bands leapt forward and the spear shaft thrust across the pool towards a painted foam target. Cheers abound and comments of amazement were cast. For many onlookers, this was their first experience with both breathhold diving and spearguns.

I heckled Matt for successfully hitting the 2 foot by 5 foot target then pitched a greater challenge, “now hit the base of the tuna’s 2nd dorsal fin”. In a humble acceptance of task he reloaded his Gold 100cm speargun and sunk into position for the 17 foot shot (tip to target). Whoosh… the spear sailed and to my chagrin a new hole was placed just ½ inch away from, ” the base of the tuna’s 2nd dorsal fin”.

Watching Matt demonstrate his skilled marksmanship, coupled to the distinct accuracy of the Andre Speargun was impressive. But is it the arrow or the Indian? That’s where the pool target sessions get practical. Matt’s demo sessions allow potential buyers to pull the rubber, sample a number of guns and come to their own conclusions of design.

What a concept, try before you buy!

Thinking about purchasing a new speargun? I highly suggest taking advantage of this opportunity. Contact Matt Davidon Sales@bluetunaspearfishing.com to arrange a wet demo session. After all, the visual appeal of a speargun on the shelf says nothing about how it will perform in the water.
