If your imaging program with allow you to do this: Change the resolution to 72 dpi, it's probably 240 to 300 right now. Then make the height 460. The save as web. And you should be good to go.

Just post them on flickr.com and you will have a variety of sizes to chose from after you upload them or you could just put a direct link from your account on here. http://www.flickr.com/

I open my pic's with "Paint", go to stretch/skew and change it to 25 for each and then save the file. That allows me to get the 6 different pic's per post limit here.

nice fish, nice shot. what kind of point are you useing?
-
you know, i truely dont know- i thik muzzy makes it, its geneus though- here i got a few pics to show you- it hits as a barb, then is expandable- then twist the arrow and the broadhead unscrews and folds the bladrs up, so you can take the arrow out- pretty awesome. there it is ready for impact

ok, i got ya! i dont know what they are called, but i have seen them before. im hunting with a much simpler one. the heavy wire barbs are fixed in one possition on mine, and when you shoot something you push the point al the way through and unscrew it, and the barb folds forward, so you can pull it out. i like that one, im gunna see if i can find one.
-
nice!- yeah i like this one alot, i didnt see how out of focus that top picture was- but you can see how beat up it is from only a few shots, ill put it on the grinder the next time i use it haha. i really want that zebco reel made for bowfishing tough, make life alot easier haha. -jimmy
-
aint that the truth! the hand reels work ok, but man they take forever and it's verry painfull when you stick a big fish. (gator gar 5 foog long) large blisters from rope burn. :P
-
damn, sounds like a fun time haha! yeah that carp was 17 on the scale- it mite look like a deadweight, but that thing fought like a bat out of hell lol. do you do any hunting, or are ya more of a bowfisher?
-
just getting into bows last summer, gunna start hunting with it this year. how bout you?
-
well, all of my moms side of the family hunts, but my dad and i seriously got into is about 2 years ago, solely with compound bow. the more and more i got into it, i liked the traditional aspect of it alot more than the compound- but im not going to longbow hunt for deer until i get one with a compound, im going on year three with no deer, one of the twists to bowhunting i guess haha. its good youre into it though, alot of forest preserves allow hunting, and you dont have to pay a cent to hunt there, its more of a draw out of a hat deal. i do small game with longbow though, thats a blast if you ask me haha- alot of farmers where i live will let you go for rabbit after deer season, and theres like no competion for small game like there is for deer, they'd be glad if anything -jimmy

i have missed a few rabits squirls and dove with mine. all i have managed to kill so far is crabs, gar, and one verry unlucky snake. i nailed him through the head with that gar arrow. ;D
-
ballista, the point in the pic is called a "war head" I think Pearson made them.I have wore all mine out and have had trouble finding more. Great heads!

Ballista, any chance you'd share that carp smoking recipe?
