I used to shoot 50# on my compound bow but my arrows planed also so I backed it down to 40# and its shooting fine now. BUTIm using just my shelf on the bow so i dont know if that has something to do with it. I use just standard bowfishing arrows with carp points.

Has that 60# ever gone straight through a fish and got stuckin the mud? I'm just asking because my 40# gets me stuck in the mud on missed shots, but it penetrates good on Carp.

no. i've tagged 1 carp so far. they were swimming all clumped together. almost went through the caudal tail on a 7 lb. grass carp ( conesuse lake, upstate new york). HMMMM 40#, maybe i got to much thrust for my arrow? i'll try a light bow and see how it works. thanks for the details bro, good luck spearing a 40 DD mermaid
