Default RE: Bowfishing setup

I wrote a response earlier, but it was 12 times longer.

If you're going to spend a few bucks, I'd say get the AMS kit also, and get a Muzzy fishook rest. The reason I picked that rest is because it's inexpensive, tough and adjustable. One of our members had a problem with his coming loose, but he's kinda wimpy and probably couldn't tighten it enough.

Seriously, the fishook will work great, and if you don't like bowfishing (yea, right), you won't be out that much money, or if you want to upgrade, you'll not have wasted that much. And the safety slides are a great bit of advice. DO NOT tied your line to the back of the arrow. Alot of folks do and don't have any problems, but I haven't heard of anyone having an arrow snap-back while using slides. Better safe than sorry.

Between any 4 or 5 people on here, you can get advice on almost any combination of setups out there. I have three completely different setups myself. Feel free to ask any question you have.
