Your biller shaft and it's notches are a completely different setup compared to a Riffe. A riffe has what amounts to fins that stick up from the shaft to hold the bands. This allows more room to load an additional band on the fin if needed. Your biller does not have enough room in the notch on the shaft to accept an addtional band wishbone.

Don't try that... if that second band slips off the notch while your finger is in the way, it will result in pain. Lots of pain. Those metal wishbones on that type of band are not finger friendly.

Each fin tab on a riffe shaft can accept up to 3 bands. so, if you are loading all 3 bands, you can mix and match, load all 3 on front, or back to slightly ajust power.

If you do not see stars underwater and almost pass out when you pull a band back, they are not fat or sort enough...and you need to upgrade...:withstupid

Some incredibly moronic bisquit-head put two 3/4" bands on his gun. (theres the 5/8" behind em which were already a size up from stock). I heard he only has to load one band most the time, and has buttloads of power, but his cojones blow up to the size of a cantalope when he loads it, which is a bit painful.

What a moron.

I used " morons " gun and after comming to from the black out of pulling both " tires " I shot a 35" AJ. Being used to my jbl I guess I was too close! Shaft went clean thru, death circles insued and I spen rest of dive untangling line. Learning to use the appropreate bands must be the key!
