The guns are made without a lot of hardware so something doesn’t fall off when spearfishing in remote locations around the world. TG’s are all unique and no two guns are alike. There is no CAD machine used and every gun is completely hand made. They are also works of Art made not only with exotic woods but also inlaid with Abalone shell from around the world. It has taken nearly 60 years to perfect the guns and to make them float with the shaft in using combination’s of different woods.

We didn’t invent the first enclosed track but was the first to use a poured track which eliminated constant splitting of the track experienced when using the inlayed track with Delrin. Some of the biggest problems with today’s spearguns are they all sink with the shaft in and are not balanced in the water.
