RE: The Branson Bowbash
Ahh...I forgot about that one! My brother in law as one of them. Nice bows. They aint that much older, just a 97 model.
Even though its 100 extra, you really should upgrade to an Osprey if you can afford it right now. Im sure you already know, but make sure you get the Stainless Steel version, and make sure you get the ESC limbs, too. So, I believe it would be an CP Oneida SS Osprey ESC. Sure is alot of acronyms. The Osprey would be lighter, faster, shorter, wont rust, more accurate, and if you leave it out in the sun too long, the outboard limbs wont warp because of the ESC outboards. My uncle has an Osprey. It wasnt Stainless, but it did shoot very NICE.

RE: The Branson Bowbash
I'm thinking about getting an Oneida for my hunting bow. (just to drive HNIJustin nuts) So, I'm going to save up for a new hunting bow instead of shelling out cash for another bowfishing rig. (it's amazing how all of our 'toys' start adding up... ugh) Plus, that bow works great so far.. no sense replacing it right away.
....and I'm already outshooting all my buddies... A lighter bow, and I might outshoot them so bad, they won't play with me anymore... heh heh heh... [8D]

RE: The Branson Bowbash
Did you see the so-called point on my arrow? A flat point on a 15lb carp.... I don't care what you're shooting.. it's not gonna happen.
Hey, at least I hit it.. pbbbbttt!! [8D]
(note to self... bring lots more points next year)

And you noticed I stayed in the middle of the boat helping everyone else get their fish in? I believe Jim also got footage of you missing when I ran the trolling motor to give him a break. You also didn't have Marty in your boat trying (ok, not trying, but it seemed like it) to tip you in that first night.
