A new bow!!!....Now what?

[Ike 403]

The wifey bought me a PSE Kingfisher bowfishing kit as an early father's present. I have never dealt with a non-wood trad bow before. It has an aluminum riser and fiberglass limbs. Do I need to unstring it after shooting like I do my longbows? Also, any tip on quieting this thing down. It makes more noise than a train wreck! Any other tips y'all want to throw my way will be greatly appreciated!

It does not have to be unstrung, so I am told by the P.S.E. Rep. to help quiet it, put mole hair under the string where the string & limbs meet put spider leg silencers on the string. Its for shooting fish so quiet isn't something they put much effort in to!LOL!! Good luck!

Thanks, Jeff. I was actually thinking about trying to hunt with it this fall. I put the bowfishing rig on my old wheelie. Had nothing better to do with it since I graduated to trad archery!
