Title: First Fishing Bow
Post by: sulphur on August 02, 2010, 03:37:00 PM
Nothing elaborate, just my mild r/d with martin brass inserts installed in the riser. The reel is from AMS and is super easy to use and super handy for retrieving your arrow. Seems like bowfishing is gaining in popularity so i order several sets of inserts. The bow is purpleheart and zebra riser with walnut lams and a maple core. I used the black glass that i got from GIbows super cheap.  This is the second bow i have made from it, seems to work just as good as gordons.  48# @ 28" 66" ntn. Notice the NO-Glove on the string. Not my thing, but i've seen most fishing rigs with them. I've shot this in our little lake on family land and its more fun than regular fishing. And that heavy glass arrow gets out pretty quick and accurately. I think i got to adapt one of my bows for the same rig. after all east texas has a lake about every 10 miles!

Dang that's such a nice looking bow the fish should jump out of the water just to look at it.
