what size works the best. If your bow is powerful is it hard get the arrows off the bottom of of the lake?

check this site out, get a hold of Carver, he's from your neck of the woods and can fill you in on the regs for NY... I'm thinking you may be mixed up on the equipment issue... Carver is from just outside Rochester...

i use gas tank repair kit. it is a putty that you can mold to the shelf. hardens in about 15 mins. so you can adjust it to be shooting center. when hard it makes a great rest. if you want i can post pics but right now i have to go wack some fish

I shoot 65 to 70 lbs. but basically only shoot daytime. I think 55 lbs is a good all-around weight. Getting arrows out of the bottom........HHHMMMMMM well at 65 lbs shooting in the cattails with a 4 barb head, sometimes it takes 2 guys pulling to get them out. Anywhere else its not bad at all. If I was shooting nighttime in cattails I would use a 2 barb head and lower my weight alot. I'll have a new strategy for the cattails during the day this year!

Good Luck!
