With out getting to lenghthy.......get a cheap compound ( don't use you good deer set-up, and don't use your good release, you'll never get the smell out) buy a Bowfishing Whisker Bisqit and a AMS retreiver reel. I do like sights (alot of bowfisherman go insticntive) a single pin and a kisser button.....peep sights take way to long, and to start just get a cheap white fiberglass arrow with a penetrator or muzzy tip. Spend alittle time getting you arrow to fly decent. Go to a nearby lake with fairly clear water and shoot off a dock. Practice hitting small rocks, shells, or whatever. Once you have the art of aiming low somewhat mastered ( low because of refraction )

Start hunting! Thats just what it is! Get out in a boat, walk creek banks, areas by bridges and on and on! Have fun!

If you buy the AMS retreaver reel and kit. It comes with the reel, line, two arrows, and the rest for 109. Its a pretty good deal. They also give you a video showing guys shooting carp, gar, aligators, and stingray. Its fun to watch and also they give you pointers on how to be more accurate.
