I am assuming the gun came rigged stock with bands, line, and a shockcord. For what you are hunting the stock rigging should be excellent. For freediving I would add a breakaway and float line. You can buy a Riffe breakaway system from any dealer
Speargun Parts and Accessories.
Personally I use the breakaway adapter from Neptonic
Breakaway Adapters for Floatlines.
To get a feel of how well the gun "fit's" you hold the handle in your hand with elbow bent, the butt should fit firmly against your bicep. An inch or so shorter or longer means you still have a good fit. Now, brace the gun with your off hand at the butt before you take the shot. You should have excellent range of movement while you are bracing the gun. One of the great advantages of of Midhandle gun is that you can take really stable two handed shots, and the gun will track much faster accordingly. This is a pretty big gun so make sure you brace it otherwise you run the risk of dental or face injury.
