    No one "needs" another bow. :rofl: But rest assured when I head to Colorado in September, either the LX or FeatherMax will be sitting along side it's younger Hoyt HyperForce sibling. When shit goes south, bow shops are kinda hard to find in the backcountry. Keep the backup in the truck. All three bows are tuned to shoot the same arrow/broadhead combo. And all three group broadheads quite nicely at 60 yards.

    No, but those boats with the raised decks and all the lights have to be fun!

    So I’ve read a bit about the add on reels for bows not specifically designed for bow fishing. Anyone have real world experience? Some swear by them some say they are worthless and it’s pointless if you don’t have a “bowfishing bow” that was designed for that purpose

    Also, a friend’s son wants to get into bow hunting and is right about the age where this reezen might be a good fit so I think I’m gonna give it to him. He’s stoked about it so I’m stoked about it.

    There's something special about newbies getting into archery. Even more special when you play a part. Love to give back to the sport that has given me so much!

    That’s right. My dad never bow hunted. A good friend of mine got me into bow hunting when I was 14, been hooked ever since. Dad always gun hunted and got me into hunting though.

    Yea everyone I’ve leaned on for help, tips, advice, etc have been amazing. I’m still the new guy too lol


    Same. Hunted my whole life. Wasn’t until this year a good friend convinced me that bow hunting was worth it
