Early 70's Bear Grizzly, 45 lb with and AMS Retreiver reel.  Usually shoot a Sure Shot point unless I'm after something big, then it's an Innerloc.

A Bear's Paw bow by Neil Jacobson, with an AMS reel, and a Fish Lipps Quiver.

I guess if we run into the bear that is making these tracks, we oughta just get off the trail.......He seems to like it!

My favorite is the Bear 76ers, they are like an old Timex, they take a licking and keep on ticking!

Ben Pearson Special.  Great bow and does its job as long as I do mine.  AMS retriever reel thats already 20 years old and still working great.
Relax,

AMS retriever on a 55# Martin Mamba, usually. I bought a rebuilt muzzy reel over the winter that I'm going to try out this year though.

I have used my old widow with an old tape-on Bear hand reel.

   

My favorite bowfishing picture ever.  Clowning with my son, Reed and Don Wilson and using one of Don's bows and a Zebco reel.

   

My usual goto bow; a 45# Bear Kodiak with a Retriever.

Yes!  They can be freaky skittish once they catch on to the fact that they are being hunted.

And they are a funky shaped fish. You get one that looks pretty good sized, and the filet is very small for how big the fish is. Good eats, none-the-less!

Currently have 2 grizzly recurves, 1 with the Bear drum reel I bought in 1980, high school.
The other setup with an AMS reel.

Been shooting a homemade line holder made from a  very dense piece of foam. Shaped like the one Fred used. Spooled with 175 pound BCY line.

Shooting a bamboo shaft with homemade point for suckers and carp.

Nice pics fellas!

Here's a little trick for the guys that are out stump shooting or small game hunting in areas where a fish shooting opportunity may exist.  Carry a bow reel in your back quiver or day pack along with a fish arrow.  If you should come upon a shot at a fish, put the reel handles in your pocket and you're ready for the shot without having to attach the reel to the bow.

I see a lot of you have the AMS strap on adapter. Is that the one from 3Rivers and does it hold securely? I'm thinking of getting one.
