You don’t bring a knife to a gun fight, and this is the heavy artillery:  Made for hunters who require more power! Competition Magnum XHD* XHD stands for Extra Heavy Duty and we mean it. Thicker alloy barrel, 3/8" hardened, stainless shaft, trigger mechanisms are carbide tipped and all models are equipped with 5/8" Hi-Mod bands that feature stainless wire wishbones. The XHD is the gun of choice for commercial and hard-core shooters; to these guys it's a tool not a toy. Three bands and a heavy shaft will punch through just about any fish, which is why the Shark Research Institute depends on the XHD for tough jobs like radio tagging 40' (12.2 meter) whale sharks. Go big, go XHD. XHD Guns are nearly identical to the Magnum guns, but more rugged, and longer lasting. Using more heat-treated steel and more powerful slings, these guns provide longevity and power in one. The Guns overall length is 42" (107 cm) the 17-4 JBL728NW shaft is 28" (71 cm) long with a 3/8" (9.5 mm) diameter. Gun is equipped with the JBL519 Shock Line. Sometimes we miss or we shoot a large fish and the recoil can pull the gun out of your grip, which ever, the shock line will keep you in control. Guns range is17' (5.18 meters). The three 5/8" (16 mm) O.D. JBL316 slings with 302 stainless steel wishbones give maximum power. Let's get right to the point, these tips are designed to punch through even the toughest fish, penetrating thick skin and hard bone.  Constructed of hardened 17-4 stainless with a razor sharp finish.
