Hello everyone-

I am thinking about doing some bowfishing. I have no idea where to begin.

I have never shot a compound bow.
What size to get?

I am 6'2" and have a 76" 'wingspan' finger tip to finger tip.
I went to a store and pulled on some bows. I need one with a LOW draw weight. It turns out I am pretty weak.
That got me to start working out, but 70 lb draw it TOO much.

Then I need to know about bow features. What do bowfisherman need? I will be fishing for carp and mostly from shore.

Finally, where can I get a bow. They seem pretty expensive on ebay or from a Cabela's or Bass Pro Shops.

I look forward to hearing from you ... and then I look forward to getting some carp.

-John
