If you were closer, we could get a trip planned.

Man I know. It is a haul down there though.

Thanks for the info John, frogs with a bow will be a new endeavor for me and I appreciate your advice. I am certain it will shorten my learning curve. We certainly have lots of crawfish! So opportunities may be plentiful. One more question if you don't mind. How long is the average shot and is there any real need for fletchings?

Cliff,

On average with me working the banks I'd say average shots are about 12'-15' but there are times where I've seen some 15 yards are better shot made by one of my buddies Tommy (Pascagoula Archer).

As for fletchings if your arrows are tuned good you can get by, but I use either 3 or 2 fletchings.

I make my gig points to weight the same as my FP'

John, the idea of a camera on the bow sounds interesting. It would be unique to see how a camera mounted near the top riser fadeout would perform during a shot cycle. Today we are shipping a prototype bow quiver with a modification to accommodate a string tracker. A camera installation wouldn't be any more difficult. What do you think about the idea of having a camera on the bow?

I would think it may work if the hand shock wasn't to bad. To me the main concern would be getting enough light to film.
