Shoot off the shelf and the velcro will be fine. As for the fingers, I use a product called finger slicks and love them. Smaller diamater than the no gloves and has a nice cushy feel to them.
Good luck and have fun,
Dan

I ordered the AMS adapter and 2 extra bow strings. I figure I will just set up 1 string special for only bow fishing. I guess thats the nexr best thing to having 2 bows. I'm gonna keep my eye out for another used bow in the meantime.
If it doesnt get super cold here and freeze up I know where there is a south facing bay on a lake near her. I have hiked back there a few times on sunny days in mid March and it swarms with common carp. They just swim around and around in big circles over and over.

Good info, guys. Think 40# would be sufficient? I've an old Wing perfect for this. Gar not superbig around here. Liking the no glove idea. Will probably convert the wing for mostly fishing. 40# is too light for much else.

40# will work. Just take close shots in shallow water. The no-gloges are pretty tough, and I use them WITH a glove. When shooting gets fast and furious, it makes it easier to get an arrow secured on the string when things get wet and slimey. Get a bow your not afraid to just chuck in the bottom of the lake, stream, pond, wherever your shooting so you can handle a fish, or IF by chance, you or your equipment ends up taking a dip/dunk.

On another dumb archery note-I always assumed that 3 Rivers Archery was in Pittsburg for some reason...then I got my order confirmation e-mail. I guess what they say about "ASSuME" is right!

I ordered an old Ben Pearson Stallion that is probably going to be my bow fishing bow.
Will it harm the bow to get it wet or will it be ok as long as it doesnt stay wet for long? It too is a pretty bow like my Browning and I can put up with scratches and dings and mud and other nasty stuff getting on them but I dont want to ruin them

I picked up a Sage for bowfishing, it's the bomb. I use a velcro rest/leather side plate and have one string set up Finger Savers for fishing and FF string set up for regular shooting/hunting.
If disaster ever strikes and the bow is yanked out of my hand or I have to ditch it, I'm only out $130.
Have fun!
