Spearfishing Aiming Tips | Techniques​

In the previous spearfishing video I covered 8 tips to ensure your speargun is shooting straight. You can check that out over here if you have not seen it yet.

So now that you have eliminated all the things that will cause you to be inaccurate, we can now start looking at some spearfishing aiming techniques.

Let's look at some aiming techniques and how and when to use them.
Essentially there are two ways guys take shots. Guys either aim down the barrel or they 'point and shoot'. Often this Point & Shoot is more instinctive and does not rely on ‘aiming’ at all.

A really handy tip I learnt a few years ago is the ‘Poke & Shoot’ This is a technique I have subsequently taught to guys new to the sport as well as those old school guys stuck in their ways. This is a sure fire way to improve your spearfishing accuracy and grow in confidence. It also helps you move away from relying on aiming down the barrel and transition into a ‘Point & Shoot’ style of shooting. As well as a host of other good things.
