Spring campout and tilapia hunt.

(1/4) > >>

PeteC:
My wife,daughter,and son in law, and I went campin' this weekend to try  a little fish huntin'.The weather was very nice and we had a great trip.We saw a lot of wildlife,snuck up,(yea,that's a word in east Texas),on a bunch of feral hogs,for the fun of it,although we were on state property and could'nt take any.We shot 33 nice tilapia,not bad considering the water was murky,with just a tad more wind than we like.But we had an awful lot of fun,and I was wantin' to stay a few more days,but you know how that goes.I'll have some more pictures to add later ,but here is a start. God Bless.

Just a note about my wife's and daughter's bows.I built both of these in '03.My daughter's is from a southern red oak stave.It's tilllered to 28" with a 45# draw,and the bow is 68" tip to tip.I just recently re-built my wife's bow.It was a 68",45# flatbow.Last week I narrowed and reflexed the tips,reshaped the handle,cut it back to 66",then re-tillered.It had a natural deflex at the fades and was a natural candidate as a deflex-reflex.I took it down to 42#,which is the exact weight of her deer hunting bow.It's osage,and for such a light bow,it handles the fishin' arrows very well,and she shoots it very well also. ;) God Bless

cool looks like fun i have a fish arrow set up like that never tried it though the arrow is fiberglass and quite heavy will it hurt anything to shoot in a lam.bow

Hillbilly:
Looks like a great trip and some fun times (and some good fillets.) We're going to try to stick a few fish this weekend. Bryan, It won't hurt a thing to shoot those fiberglass fish arrows through any bow that I know of. I shoot them through my selfbows, never had a problem.
