I haven’t done any bow fishing in a long time and not much then, therefore I do not have any sage advice..

Maybe using the gear designed for gators would be appropriate…😁  it sounds like if you managed to arrow one, it could turn into a real western sporting event!

That’s an odd happenstance!  I am glad you are ok. Always good to deal carefully with used stuff.

I always force myself to wear my safety gear even for minor jobs anymore. Trying to keep my self inflicted damage to a minimum. I have enuff physical issues…

Might be ” bounce back” ie a rebound/ reverberation/ vibration of the bow limbs,  maybe Steven will chime in…?

Hi Ben

Welcome  to the forum , glad to have you on board….

Been a little slow here this last winter , maybe with your help and the coming summer we can warm up the discussions and get rolling again in prep for the fall. Unfortunately my circumstances haven’t allowed me to get after turkey this spring..was hoping someone would give a report on there excursions after an old longbeard.

I fully understand.  Don’t get on the ladder . Lost one friend dead, the other broke his hip, still recovering ( year later).

A lot of trouble here ( NM) getting professional help also . I luckily know the plumber , electrician etc. They will still eventually work me into the schedule. They say they can’t get anyone to apprentice or help anymore ! State of our society I quess…..luckily not as cold here as WYO.

I too have been working mostly on form ( especially so do to laying off or so long) . I will work up close, for awhile till I get polished.  Saves on arrows…

Wishing everybody the best for the spring . I was in the process of heading to a friend’s in TX to start the Turkey Season , but got the covid so had to stand down for awhile. I hope to get out in NM mtns later …. anybody chasing Turkey out there?

I got out today and did a little shooting with my old Shrew bow 52lb ( Greg Coffey built ) .  Made up a few spruce arrows and took er out for a spin. I hadn’t shot for a long time (med issues)  and it showed. I got sorted out after a while, and finally finished up with a couple of decent groups. The Spruce arrows shot just fine …..

I am thankful the weather is getting better. I’ll be able to get out more regular. How about the rest of you folks ?
