Mine's so ugly, it would break the camera!
Just a beat-up old Bear Kodiak recurvepulling 45# with a Zebco 808 stoked with fast flight... ugly as sin too... colors starting to fade, never been cleaned, smells like a bait-standbut shoots straight as piss.
Got a little compound bow rigged as a back-up, but I prefer the weight and snap-shooting abilites of the recurve... I've shot Tilapia right at my feet at half or 1/4 draw from the waist. Too much motion with them and they are gone at about Mach 4.
Also, I've found that with compounds I spend too much time digging my arrows out of cattail roots and sunken logs that wuz acting like a fish. Danged hard on the tips too with a stone bottom.
I just shoot carp, Tilapia and smallish gar. If I ever went out after the big gators I'd want the compound though.
