Don't do it if you are not prepared for another "bad" habit. Take a look at the womens/youth bows in the archerytalk.com classifieds. Great place to get a nice low poundage bow for bowfishing. Go ahead and get the AMS reel. It will save you aggravation(and money) down the road. I also like the bowfishing WB for the rest. I think safety slides are a must. Please note that I warned you- it is TERRIBLY habit forming and a great deal of fun can be had so please............ PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!!!!!!!
