Title: How-To Attach a home made Bowfishing Reel adapter to Bow
Post by: skyarrow on February 14, 2010, 07:45:38 pm

This is how I attached a reel to my recurve bow. I used a piece of wood, and square lashed it just below the grip. Will post pics later.

Cool Sterling, looks like that should work nicely... why wasn't there a fish on the end of that arrow in your video?   ;D

that's an interesting way to do it. i use the same rig, but i flatened a piece of pipe and bent it to fit against the back of my riser, then drilled a hole in it and bolted the reel onto it. mine sits center on the back of the bow though, i like  the offset on yours, that might work better. might try that this summer. what do you shoot? gar? or carp?
