Re: NEW BOWFISHING BOW I like my pse wave. i have shot other compounds but I like it the best and it's in your price range. If you can find a barracuda in decent shape they're pretty sweet too. They shoot a little harder than the wave. Haven't shot the new tidal wave yet though. Not a fan of the ams bows but just because I don't like the grip or the balance in my hand. Nothing wrong with em that's just my .02

Re: NEW BOWFISHING BOW I have the elation which is the same as the tidal wave. They are nice, but I think I'd rather save the money and have the smaller discovery 2. They shoot nice and are easy to hold all night.

Re: NEW BOWFISHING BOW Oneidas are over rated, like way over rated.
Also over priced

Re: NEW BOWFISHING BOW Never in my life have I laid my hands on a smoother drawing bow than an Oneida. I just can't justify the price. I can quick draw with a pse just as well as you can with an osprey. But at full draw you do get a lil bit of finger pinch with a pse that you don't get with an osprey.sweet bows just out of my price range

Re: NEW BOWFISHING BOW My vote is for the 40lb. discovery 2 bowfishing model. I have an elatin, 29lb discovery 2 and the 40lb discovery 2 and have shot my brother in laws wave and I'm always picking up the 40lb discovery 2 first. The elation and tidal wave are nice but a little longer and heavier.

Re: NEW BOWFISHING BOW Recurve? They are light and don't have any moving parts.

Re: NEW BOWFISHING BOW They are nice, I have one. You won't need it turned up all the way to 40 lbs. I have mine set at 32 and it's still almost too much.

Re: NEW BOWFISHING BOW No need for the 40, hopefully he bought the 29
They look nice though. Looks like the grip is a little larger than the discovery 2. That's the only thing I don't like about the discovery, my hand is kinda squished in the grip even with two rolls of tennis racket tape.

Re: NEW BOWFISHING BOW Yep, I agree with you. For me I like the size and weight of the discovery more. Only thing that sucks is the sharper string angle, especially when you are shooting a lot.
If I was buying a new bow tomorrow it would be the disco 2.

Re: NEW BOWFISHING BOW Yea, it has a little string pinch, but that doesn't bother me as much as the grip. I don't have to come to full draw very often, which is where the pinch is the worst, so..
