3Rivers Beginners Bowfishing Kit Reviews

Great starter product!

Great product for first time bowfishers. Very simple, straight forward and easy to use. Watched the video, taped the reel to an old recurve and let some arrows fly. Had 3 decent sized carp ready to put in the smoker the same day.

3Rivers Beginners Bowfishing Kit Questions and Answers

Ask a Question

Asked by Kim 3 years ago

What is the shaft diameter of the included arrow? I want to take the point off and use a blunt in its place. Will a 5/16" blunt fit? (using the bow fishing rig to launch Ham radio wire antennas over trees.)

The included arrow is a 5/16" diameter. It is not a tapered end, 3 years ago

The included arrow is a 5/16" diameter. It is not a tapered end, so if your blunt requires a point taper, it will not fit. These are very heavy arrows as well, they might not get the distance needed, depending upon height of the trees.

New to bow fishing so no idea what's what. Will this work with my son's Bear cruzer lite compound?

Yes this would work with that bow. 5 years ago

Yes this would work with that bow.

I am not sure about the reel on your bow since this is more of a 5 years ago

I am not sure about the reel on your bow since this is more of a "tape on" type reel.  I put mine on a traditional bow I carved and it has worked great. For compounds you should have enough room for something like this setup: https://www.3riversarchery.com/great-northern-bowfishing-traditional-gadget-adapter.html https://www.3riversarchery.com/cajun-screw-on-bowfishing-reel.html I also recommend polarized sunglasses if you have them. It makes spotting fish a lot easier.

can you change the tape-on reel for screw-on reel because I need it?

I do not have a kit for the screw on reel. If your bow has sigh 12 years ago

I do not have a kit for the screw on reel. If your bow has sight bushing I recommend looking at the AMS reels. They are going to perform much better than the drums.

Asked by Unknown 12 years ago

I am very new to bowfishing so this is maybe a stupid question, but I have couple of bows and I was wondering what bow poundage this arrow is made for?

Fish arrows are very stiff in spine and very heavy. As most shot 12 years ago

Fish arrows are very stiff in spine and very heavy. As most shots will be close, the spine is not as important to shooting. I believe I spined one of my own a while back and it was for a 90# bow.

How exactly does one reel in this type of reel?

This drum is meant to hold the line. Not to reel it in. You wo 12 years ago

This drum is meant to hold the line. Not to reel it in. You would pull the fish in by hand and then wrap the line around the drum once the fish had been caught.

Asked by HDW 12 years ago

Does the arrow come with a slider on it already.

The AMS Safety Slide does not come installed on this kit, but it can be purchased separately. http://www.3riversarchery.com/Bow+Fishing+Bowfishing+Accessories++AMS+Safety+Slide+Arrow+Kit_c56_s197_p0_i5549X_product.html

Asked by trento 13 years ago

Is there anything other than tape that I can use to attact it to my bow? I don't want the sticky adhesive from the tape left behind on my bow.

Nothing that will give you as good of a hold. Goo Gone works ve 13 years ago

Nothing that will give you as good of a hold. Goo Gone works very well to remove the remaining adhesive when you take the reel off. The other option would be to get a traditional gadget adapter and the screw in reel. The adapter uses a Great Northern style rubber strap system to give you a mount for the reel. It will not damage the bow or leave the residue.

Asked by Tony 13 years ago

Can I shoot the fish arrow off the shelf of an old Bear recurve?

Yes, you can shoot a fish arrow of the shelf of any bow. I reco 13 years ago

Yes, you can shoot a fish arrow of the shelf of any bow. I recommend not using any of the lay fletching when doing this. The lay fletching will deflect off of the shelf and give you erratic arrow flight. You are better off to use a bare shaft.
