Very Mathews indeed….and I do love it.
So dead in the hand on the shot.
I’ve got stupid long arms with a 32inch draw length, so I’m limited on the selection of bows that fit me, but I do love my Mathews Atlas 👍🏻

That's not likely to happen. There's a trigger release system for the string I've seen if I really need it.
Whats your spool set up, line weight, how does it attach to the shaft, arrow weight, head type. Do you think a spool on recurve would effect it much, compound bows seem better set up for a spool mount.
I'm not even sure if you aim above or below the fish,
Is there any tactics to stalking a fish to be aware of. Like would a fast lift aim be enough to scare bigger fish out a few meters out from bank. How much does an arrow deflect in a river if it has current. You know totaly newbe stuff. Bow fishing for dummies basically, because when it comes to bow fishing that's just what I'll be. Do you bow fish in the ocean? I'm assuming that's from the around the rocks onshore or does chumming off a boat work. What's your best shot and fish battle.
Whats it like trying to bring a badley shot fish I imagine you run the risk of pulling the shaft out, are gloves a good idea to wear for pulling the line on bigger fish.

Any time is fine.
Its something I want to try in a swimming hole on farm on couple of introduced fish here.
Type shall remain unnamed for now.
I'm so out of pratice and arnt sure how I'll handel a bow, or even how I'll go pulling
a bow string, since I lost ends of 2 of me fingers. But dam with pics like you put up I'm keen to see. Old memories of the fun of bow hunting goats.
But reality is won't be trying bow fishing for a while.
Cheers

Massive! Looks like big critters are in just as much trouble with you on a bow as the pests are with you on a pcp!
Dam big carp! Hamilton out of the Waikato?
Dude do you want to do a thread and blurb about bow fishing, what set up you use and any tips?
Its something I've always been curious about, but never really looked into.
Appresiate it if you have the time.

I'm doomed. In pricing entry level recurve today. 350ish probly see if can afford next week.
