What happened to bowfishusa?

[jjtroutkiller]

I see a few tournaments on there I am planning to shoot.

[texas two guns]

Big issue/drama with bowfishusa. Send me a PM and I'll
direct you. Out of respect for Mont, I won't post it here.

Just wandering what pound bow is needed, I have two recurves one 48# and one that is 60# both would need to be drilled and tapped for installing a reel. I used to trout line Trinity river in the 80's and 90's and at night the banks would be lined with gar. The cut into Lake charlotte was another place they would be located. Old River off 1409 used to be a good place but now there is so much boat traffic that the water hardly has time to clear up.

#48 is fine for just about all bowfishing, #60 may be overkill, but will work in an pinch.
Sure wouldn't want to shoot it all night on a tournament though.
#40-45 Recurves are awesome, compounds about 30-40 are great too. That is
just an average, any bow at any poundage will work.

What r the entry fees for these tourneys that r going on.

[texas two guns]

Typically $60 for a 2 or 3 man team.
this is usually split between most fish and biggest 5.
There is also usually a $10 per person Big Fish Pot.
So TYPICALLY a 3 man team can enter 3 tournaments
for $90 or $30 each man.

[bowfishrp]

The Trinity River Shootout is $15 per person to enter and extra if you want to enter the calcutta pot.
