First of all i would like to thank you for your responses! Well i first was interested in bowfishing when my friends and I were talking what we were gonna do this summer and we go to state lake in montgomery county KS. Which is just a couple miles from my house by country roads. We have a "secret" spot where the water is bout 3 to 5 feet deep and pretty clear, and when we get alot of rain it's awesome. Well there are quite of few gar that are pretty good size and we always were talking how we wanted to catch them well i got to thinking. When i was little I was fishing at the river with my dad and saw someone bowfishing and thought that was weird! But I immediately knew i wanted to try it. When I toldmy friendsthat we could bowfish well to say the least they laughed and i got on the pc and showed them pics and told them that this would be fun. I got them hooked. As of right now i don't own a bow, my dad hunts birds and deer with a rifle. Thats what he was raised on so he doesn't adventure to far from it. I love hunting and fishing and like my dad says, if it breathes i "try" to hunt it.lol Well i have been gettin interested in bow hunting deer and turkey so i thought i would try this too.Also my b-day is in march so this is why i wanted to know what kind of stuff I needed. lol
