Hey, this is my first post. I just recently got into it. I use my golden eagle compound. It's at about 50 pounds right now. The only reason I use this bow is because it was my old bow from when I started, so it wasn't being used. Otherwise, try to find an old recurve to use. It doesn't feel like the arrow is coming off the compound right. Uhh, let's see, I have the standard ams reel combo. The tips and arrow that come with it are pretty mediocre, so I'd reccommend just buying the reel and arrow and tip seperately.

Don't get discouraged when you miss a lot of fish. It took me at least a dozen fish before I hit something. Just remember, aim under the fish about what you think is right, then aim 2 feet lower.
