Poorly set up lightweight spear gun that cannot handle a 7mm spear with 2x17.5 bands that it comes with, nor a 2x16 spear that I tried. It kicks excessively due to its minimal weight, as the carbon barrel is very light and thin. For someone who wants and enjoys setting it up with a 6.5 spear and 2x14.5 bands... Otherwise, with so much recoil, it is difficult to hit the target. For a heavy set up with a similar price, go for the Meandros Argo in a tube.
