Default Crossbow Fishing

Nailed this trout with my Powermaster crossbow, zebco 808 reel, 50lb line
and a fiberglass arrow.

Yes I mounted the reel myself and bought the bow about 25 years ago
I think the pull is 100 to120 lbs shootsabout like a 40 lb recurve.

Great job martinfaw. Did you eat that bad boy? I love trout. Good to see a fellow tarheel shooting at such a small target and connecting. Now, can you imagine using a scope and exacully finding it in the scope to shoot? LOL. No wait! Night fishing with night vision. Now there's a challange! LMAO
