Yea thats probably your best bet. You will catch on to it pretty quick especially being an avid bow hunter. Just remember to aim low! Make sure you know what kind of fish your shooting at as well, you don't want to be pulling up any bass[

]. That bow will get heavy after a while, especially if your walking the banks. Ya'll going on a boat? If so, at night with lights?
If you really get into it I would suggest investing in a recurve. But we can cross that bridge when we get there.

Good luck and I know you will have a blast.
