The first "all day" spearfishing seminar I will be doing in 2009 will be at Bill Jackson's "Shop For Adventure" in Pinellas Park, Florida. Bill Jacksons is one of my favorite seminar locations and the turnout is usually very strong. We had about 65 shooters at our last seminar there. The details are as follows:

Time: 10:00 am to 4:00 pm
Fee: $35.00 for adults & $20.00 for kids 16 and under

I will be covering all aspects of spearfishing from beginner to advanced. Some of the topics I will cover are: selecting the proper speargun, how to use it, how not to use it, how to take care of it, proper banding, shaft selection, tip options, stalking techniques, body language, proper shot distances, realistic ranges of a speargun, shot selection, optimizing shot angles, freeshafting, lineshafting, line types, advantages and disadvantages of just about everything involving spearfishing.
This is a large facility so we can easily handle up to 100 shooters. However, it really helps to sign up early so they can plan the food and beverages.
PS, as many of you may have heard, we are in the process of tooling up to produce our new "Ocean Rhino" speargun. If we get it finished and get the patents filed, the folks who come to this seminar will be the first to get a look at our new speargun.
I am still trying to line up my guest speaker for this seminar. I'll post the info as soon as we have confirmation.
Looking forward to meeting everyone,
Shoot Em' Up,
Kevin
