Hey Charlie...I out did her today LOL.

Those two carp were my first two shots loosed today. Then I missed a few absolute gimme shots. We rode around doing some fish road hunting when I spotted a small school of suckers. I jumped the guardrail and killed that biggest sucker on my first shot. We finished off the day where Rachel got those two suckers yesterday. They were in a hole so deep it looked like shooting at goldfish. Many misses and two point sharpenings later, I finally connected with that smallest one.


 

All jokes aside...I'm extremely proud of her. We had a great weekend together.

That's why he switched out her bow!!

Hey Killdeer....I had to do something to level out the playing field. Shhhh...LOL.

Just kidding. She is welcome to shoot any bow I have. 50# is a bit much for her though. I just wanted it to be a little more comfortable on her. Her compound is 50#. Her recurve is 35#. And for the shots we were having to make I didn't think anything less than 45 would get the job done.

I got two more after work this evening...one nice carp and another sucker. I was standing on a bridge, on top of the rail shooting straight down when I got the sucker. I was really proud of that shot....about twenty feet straight below me.

You can always get her another set of limbs for that Sage.  And the Sage riser is perfect for putting a bow fishing reel on it.  Keep up that "together" time spent bowfishing.
