 Bowfishing bow needs?
I got a free bow yesterday from a buddy but it ain't got nothing in it. I wanna just put a regular reel off a rod on it and was wondering how I can do that an what I need just to shoot some fish. Ain't trying to get to big into it though. Thanks.

 Re: Bowfishing bow needs?
The zebco and muzzy reals are nice. If you want hassle free and save on lost of arrows get a AMS Pro

 Re: Bowfishing bow needs?
Synergy 20 reels are the best for the money too @ Acadamy.. Usually about $13.00 here in AR.

 Re: Bowfishing bow needs?
QD and tie the line to the back of the arrow. If you forget to push the botton. The arrow falls off

 Re: Bowfishing bow needs?
Quick draw rest is tha only way to go imo. Ams retriever is easy to use and will last forever. Anything will work just depends how much u wana spend. Also arrow and tip combo is important

 Re: Bowfishing bow needs?
I use splash shafts with sure shot points from East Texas Archery. Jeff will not send you a bent shaft. Im sure there are some others that have great customer service but i can't speak for anybody else cause all i use is ETA for bowfishing supplies.
