I shoot trad, and I like trad for bowfishing as well. A lot of quick shots, sometimes a half draw even.

My set up is a Quinn recurve, with a AMS retriever reel. The Quinn has a metal riser so it accepts things bolted on. I shoot off the shelf, nothing easier.

I normally take 4 or 5 arrows for a night of fishing. I figure I might lose one or two, but I sure don't want to run out.

I have fished over in L.A. a few times. Always have fun and got fish. I do carry my bow, as I like my set up. I am use to it.

The big trick to bowfishing, is getting your eye for spotting the fish, and then learning how much to shoot under them for the refraction depending on depth and angle.

The good news is you get lots of chances, and the learning curve is high.

I don't have near the expericence as Ron, but let me know if I can help.
