FAQs
What draw weight do I need for bowfishing?
Most recurve bowfishing setups run 35–50 lb. Compound-style rigs often use higher draw weights. Choose based on arrow type and desired penetration.
Are these bows safe for saltwater use?
Yes when you choose salt-ready components: anodized reels, stainless hardware and routine post-trip maintenance to prevent corrosion.
Can you ship directly to my lodge or marina?
Yes. Enter your shipping address at checkout or contact our team to arrange special delivery.
