Well, I sent my Big Elk stick off yesterday, Gave it away to a fellow that has had to retire his last bow, which took well over 300 African AND Australian big game animals, due to a crack...I re worked the Elk bow with him in mind to his draw weight , length,and gave it my best satin finish.... I won't mention any names but I am truly honored that this man will be using one of my bows to further his testing and fullfilling his dreams......It doesn't get much better than that! I've been saying since I built it that it was the baddest Elk bow that will ever walk the face of the Earth, now it will be in it's element hunting the most dangerous creatures on it.

I think the biggest problem people encounter is familiarity with a stick. I hunt 11 months out of the year with a stick. By the 15th of March, I can take carp and sucker by bowfishing. By late May I can add bullfrogs and snapping turtle. In August, squirrel season starts. October brings deer and November opens rabbit season. The aforementioned rabbit season shuts down in the middle of February and, unless I find an errant crow, I have to wait until mid March to go bowfishing again. As everyone knows, if you keep your skills sharp, you're always ready.

You hit that nail on the head with your final statement dinosaur.
I do the field and 3-D thing with the traditional but in the end, I do as you do and it makes all the difference.

Absolutely. My buddy and I call it "Silent Death" and we are always looking for new ways to use a bow.
Last year we hit on a new one. We are both avid bowfisherman. We also like to gig frogs but sometimes the frog is a bit too far away to take. So, I made up a special arrow designed like a bowfishing arrow but smaller and lighter to take frogs at distances of up to 20 yards. I even made a bow specifically designed for frogging. Guess what? It works.
I love frog legs, fried, baked, barbequed, or grilled. We gigged alot of them. We arrowed a lot also. It was awesome.
