Wow. Id have to see some vids of people using it on fish. I could immage shooting fish in super clear water on flats. I dont think id be good at instinctive since I always used sights. Ive shot recurves but im not like annie oakley. I could never shot pistol like that and had issues with a bow instinctive. Sounds cool

Yes you could it’s just like anything else, practice. I used a slingshot as much as my bow for practice
My newest bow is from 93, so...
It's sat unused for longer than a lot of our members have been alive.
A 300fps arrow was unheard of, even with an overdraw setup.
Overdraw? What in tarnation is that?
I have a few old Martin's in the garage with the overdraws. Fury with a brace height of about 3"...
You can manipulate that.
I set my draw length on the cams at 29.5", and pull the draw stops in to 29.25". Gives me about 50% instead of 80%, extra 10fps, and I can hold steadier.
I prefer a normal recurve for bow fishing. Oneida is an overly complicated contraption that's heavy as hell.
Well I was huge into bow fishing (out several night a week)and most guys who do shoot a lot and do well in tournaments use them or a copy. Old oneidas are heavy the newer ones aren’t at all, and they aren’t complicated.
Most people just want to buy a cheap PSE it’s the savage of the bow fishing world “it’s just as good”

You guys must really suck with a fly rod or level wind reel if you’re using your bow for fishing.
Bowfishing is for trash fish. Can't be used on game fish most places.
But you go shoot a 25 lb carp and let me know how un-fun it is.
Can’t put no joke a 1000 fish in a boat and clean up the waters with a fly rodYou guys must really suck with a fly rod or level wind reel if you’re using your bow for fishing
Fly fishers. I was at the lake one day slaying some crappie and walleye in a small cove. A couple dudes with fly rods ask me if I mind if they fish the cove too. The two jerkoffs go stand 10 ft on either side of me and block me out of 80% of the water I am fishing. The entire time they are bragging about how much harder fly fishing is.
I’m just poking at people. I don’t bow fish, but I have a couple friends that do a little and they have a blast. It looks fun, but I already have way too much fun in my life
Haha! Lighten up a little. I was playing. I bow hunt, but I’ve never gone bow fishing. I’ve got a couple friends that have tried getting me to, but I seriously don’t have time for another hobby when I don’t even shoot my rifles enough.
