Nice head shot on that one...course they don't fight quite as much that way! I like your rig...looks like you can get pretty skinny with it. I love bowfishing, your post makes me want to get out and shoot some fish!

COOL!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like you REALLY like the color "blue" LOL

BONES 1 · July 09, 2007, 04:54:00 PM

Funny,never thought about the blue....LOL

I noticed you shoot the same points I do. Have you had any problems with penetration? I've had some problems lately. What weight are you shooting?

Great pictures

WOW, How long is that bow or how short is that boat??? LOL Congrats on some fun.

BONES 1 · July 09, 2007, 05:41:00 PM

It is a 10ft boat.I have had some issues with pull outs,so I used a grinder to re-sharpen the edges on the tip.I have not had any issues since.I am shooting a 50# bear 76er I picked up a ETAR a few years ago for $15.00.

Sounds like a perfect set-up...
Congrats Again

Way to go Bones, looks like a good time and a good way to handle the heat wave. Where were you on which river? I'm not looking to steal your hot spot, it just doesn't look familiar to me.

BONES 1 · July 10, 2007, 07:42:00 AM

It is the New River.

Forester · July 10, 2007, 11:00:00 AM

Thanks Bones,

I thought I had seen most of the New but it looks like a portion I have not been on. It has been a while though so maybe my memory fails me. Maybe further south than I have been as well.

Keep at it - looks like fun! Thanks for the pics.....

Forester,I am down here in Carroll County,earlier in the year I was shooting about 30 a trip.And that was only about 2 hours or patroling the waters...

Forester · July 11, 2007, 11:31:00 AM

Sounds like a blast Bones. And it looks like you have a good rig for the action. You are on a stretch that I have not seen too much. In times past I have spent many hours fishing by canoe and by foot everything from Austinville to Bluestone dam in WV. I need to get back on the river and I need to take my bow with me.

Keep at it....
