Default RE: Mine's so ugly, it would break the camera!

That's a nice bow there jpxpress.

I have a recurve with a spincast and 2 compounds with Retrievers. One compound is set at 40-lbs and the other is turned down to 50 I think. The recurve is a 55-pounder, but I almost never shoot it full-draw, unless it's a really long shot. You reallydon't need more than 40 for bowfishing.

Get this for your recurve. You can use it on the front of your bow for mounting a reel-seat or on the side for mounting a Retriever.

Fish-hook rest and dovetail mount for Retriever on my compound( I have it on my recurve now in case I need to replace my reel).




Recurve with Fuzz-mount for spincast and wood-filed riser to shoot of shelf


And my recurve with the reel-seat and a little pressure-switched tacticle light



I now have a plumbers putty rest on the recurve. I like all the different rests and reel-mounts, except the Fuzz-mount. It made the bow too heavy on one side to hold for long periods of time. I liked shooting the recurve off the shelf the best. And the Fish-hook rest on the compound I like alot too. It's inexpensive and tough. And it keeps the arrows from falling off pretty good.
