RE: Ok My fellow Minnesota bowfishers
The AMS Retreiver reel is a great reel. I live in central MN and there's alot of great/fabulous shooting across the state. We're even going to have a statewide club start this year, hope we'll see you at a shoot. My advice for a begginer, get your set-up ready early and practice with it. Getting those big heavy arrows ( most are from 1450 to 2000 grains) to fly true can be a challenge. Its very important to get them to fly staight or the arrows dart off left, right, up or down once they pentrate the water. Also go practice shooting off a dock or in a boat at a target in the water. Put your targets at differant distances and differant depths. If you don't do this your first few trips could be pretty dissappointing.......its amazing how low you have to aim!
So you're going to try bowfishing........I hope your ready........its extremely addicting!
Good Luck!
If your having any set-up problems, Mike's Archery in St. Cloud is awsome! They are real hardcore bowfishermen and they know their stuff!
