A device for launching a projectile along an intended flight trajectory includes a launching mechanism with a handle. A projectile having a longitudinal axis is disposed in the launching cord in a launch position prior to launch such that the projectile's longitudinal axis is perpendicular to a plane in which the launching cord is disposed. As the projectile is launched by the launching mechanism, the projectile rotates such that the projectile's longitudinal axis is parallel to the plane in which the launching cord was disposed.

In aspects of the invention, an arrow slide is provided with a body having a first opening with a plurality of first edges arranged in a generally triangular configuration within which a first diameter can be received, a second opening with a plurality of second edges arranged in the generally triangular configuration within which the first diameter can be received; sidewalk linking corresponding ones of the first plurality of edges to the plurality of second edges to create a passageway extending from the first opening to the second opening through which an arrow can slide; and a string mount to which a bowfishing line can be joined.

A sportfishing speargun is sized for ease of use and provides the power of the largest rubber band speargun. The speargun includes a drive system with two or more pulleys, the drive system is driven by one or more rubber bands to provide mechanical advantage and the force of a large speargun in a compact device.

A device for launching a projectile along an intended flight trajectory includes a launching mechanism. The launching mechanism includes first and second pairs of supports supporting a launching cord. A projectile having a longitudinal axis is disposed in the launching cord in a launch position prior to launch such that the projectile's longitudinal axis is perpendicular to a plane in which the launching cord is disposed. As the projectile is launched by the launching mechanism, the projectile rotates such that the projectile's longitudinal axis is parallel to the plane in which the launching cord was disposed.
