If you'd just like to try it without spending much money, I'd just get a drum reel. Many sporting good's stores will have them. They come with the hardware to screw right into your accessory hole on the bow you have. If there's no hole you can get creative in ways of "lashing" it to your bow. Get the heaviest fast flight line you can find, because it's easier on your hands to wrap around the drum, and a couple of arrows with fishing points, preferably with safety slide since you're a newbie. As long as you have a rest that will hold the heavy fiberglass arrow, just try your bowlike it is. You'll probably have to make some adjustments so it will shoot somewhat straight. I wouldn't worry about sights. After a fewfish you'll start to instictively know where to shoot. Check in your regulations handbook. Most likely you'll need a fishing license. And go have some fun! It's really very easy. If you like it then you can look at new bows, fancy reels, new boats, generators, fans, did I mention this sport can get very expensive?
