what is the reason for the "ban", "curtailment" or whatever it is on the mechanical spear-gun, over the "Hawaiian sling"
is it that a miss on a fish and possible impact with the reef is what they are looking at?? cause a sling has muscle force behind it only, where as a Mechanical Spear-gun has , rubber bands,springs, or compressed air to power it.....
or is that the Mechanical Spear-gun is just too good ???..and might "over-fish"reef?
(BTW it is same law that the Bahamas has in effect)
