I'm setting up a 70 year old Bearcats recurve for bow fishing. Using an ams strap on bracket and ams bottle reel. Is there a way I can mount a rest or should I just shoot off the shelf? I'm brand new to bow fishing and don't know squat about it really
@DustinApple2 жыл бұрын
Keep it simple stupid..... stay on the shelf. Recurve with a bottle is the most inefficient setup you can attempt though. The drag on the arrow is great & the poundage required is greater. Make sure you adjust your nock for good arrow flight & take close shots.

@@DustinApple I'm setup now exactly how I said, and I'm nailing fish at 15 yards and up to 3ft deep so far. If it's not efficient I can't tell. Maybe I just got lucky hell I don't know

Is a genesis bow fishing bow enough lbs.(lb) to shoot a paddlefish/spoonbill?
@DustinApple Жыл бұрын
No. They make a genesis pro that's 30lbs that should work but the original version is only 18 lbs & not strong enough. You need 25-35# for 90% of bowfishing. For large fish 35-45 is common.

What don't you like about safety slides?
@DustinApple2 жыл бұрын
I personally don't use them because they ■drag in the water & lessen penetration. ■increased arrow splash ■slow to untie/retie ■causes broken reels ■added expense to arrows ■more pieces to fail & break

Thanks for the the helpful info bud got the gnat tuned. But why u block me on Facebook lol
@DustinApple2 жыл бұрын
🤷♂️ no idea who you are, I don't tolerate negativity or bowfishing drama. No room for posers in my circle. I stay positive and share lots of good information. If you're blocked it's because you rub me the wrong way & I decided not to allow you access to my content any longer. Best thing I ever did was start blocking people. It's a healthy social media practice imo. Glad I could help with the Gnat.

Get rid of the finger things. Set nock point 5/8" high, nock point overcand under arrow nock, shoot a full three fingers under, and wear a golf glove.
