tbar speargun shooting a shark

So the tbargun or tbar speargun has a dedicated French name now, it’s the barrebalète! It was chosen by the member of the chassesousmarine.com forum.

In this video, you see a weighted down verson of the tbargun. I put one kilogram of led in the stock. It makes is perfectly neutral and helps reduce the recoil from the 3 kg metal bar!

Here I shoot a small edible shark. You can see how it simply obliterates it. It’s not a gun you’d call practical but it sure does kill whatever you put in front of it!

About The Author

Long time spearfisherman and competitor, I used a large selection of very good products but I wanted a speargun that made no concessions. I made a speargun that would not float or sink. I designed the speargun so the bands, the shaft and the hand holding the speargun were on the same level. This avoid the all too common loss of stability during release. Lastly, I produced a mechanism that is incredibly strong and smooth. I have been competing solely with my products since 2009 and I managed to win the North Atlantic Spearfishing Champion twice. The added range and precision really helped.

    Im really interested in the tbarspeargun. Do you have any for sale or plans that show how you made the trigger mech?

      Hello Tyler, I’d be more than willing to make one for you. The mechanism uses the sames parts as all my other renesub spearguns. Only the cassette changes (actually, this one has one and my other guns don’t have cassettes, but you understand).

      The gun is heavy and may be difficult to ship. Where do you live?
