Default RE: Getting started bowfishing!?

WCL is right. I've seen some folks try to shoot fish with a 30# bow and have trouble with "pull-offs". That is when the arrow doesn't penetrate far enough for the barbs to hold. If you are going with the AMS reel, go ahead and get the AMS fish hawk bow. It is just like your Genesis with a bit heavier draw weight. At 13 you will be able to build up to a heavier bow quickly. Be careful not to be too "overbowed" though.
