honetstly i won't believe that stuff till i see it with my own eyes.. if i can get a complete pass thru at 28# on a 40lb fish no matter how deep or shallow it is i don't think it would be much different out there
I'll make a deal with you... come out west and shoot some fish with your PSE and then when I go to the worlds duck calling contest you can take me on some flooded timber duck hunt...lol..
 
How well does the disco penetrate fish when they arent right at teh boat or a little deeper? Were probably getting at least 1 for my GF to use just because of the draw weight but im considering getting one for myselft because of the price. Is this a good enough bow to be used all the time or should i step up to the CUDA? I dont really wanna sink alot of money into my bow seeing as i still have to outfit the girlfriends with reel, rest and everything else. whats yalls opinions?
it will get the Job done depending on the draw length for the GF... My wife couldn't get crap to stick at 30lbs at a 25in draw lenght... she shot plenty of fish during the spawn and when fishing at night that were right at the edge of the Halo's but anything past 10ft they would hit the fish and bounce off... we thought maybe if she used the cuda at 40lbs with here draw lenght it would work but it didn't... a little better... now she is shooting 48 lbs bow and getting clean shots... I think it has to do with the draw length... because if I shot a fish with the cuda at 40lbs at 30in I would pass clean thru close fish... but it sucked for deep or long shot fish...
 
If you're saying a 48# recurve shoots a fishing arrow faster than a 40# Cuda at any draw length you would be mistaken. I keep reading posts from you guys about Cudas bouncing arrows off fish and all I can say is bulls**t. Our water here is just as clear, just as deep and our fish are just as big-if not bigger and bouncing off is not something that happens. Little Killer is 4'11" with a draw length of 25" and he whails the crap outa fish of all sizes with a Discovery. Started out at 21 lbs several years ago and finally got up to 29 lbs this year. A good percentage of the guys here switched to the Discoveries because the Cudas shot too hard, myself included. With a fishing arrow over the chrony a Discovery @ 30 lbs will spank a 45# recurve anywhere in the draw cycle but I'm supposed to believe it will just bounce arrows off fish while the recurve gets good penetration???? No offense intended but that is pure b.s.
I love the personal attacks from Pro staffers...:tu: you can call like you see it i guess... :applause: do you wear a black PSE hoodie when your bowfishing too...lol...

Keep up the good work selling those Discoverys and Cuda's there are newbie suckers born every day...

If you like your more than welcome to call up myself or Wife at home and tell her she if full of crap that her discovery set at 30lbs at 25in draw length or the cuda set at 40lbs at her draw length didn't get clean shots 50% of the time... and how frustrated she got because she made good clean shots and all she got to do was watch her tip just stick into the fish and then watch it pull right out as the fish took off.. I know she sure is happy to have a bow that can reach 50 lbs at her draw length now... and its not a Recurve...

great guys now when I get home from work my little wife will be on the BFC forums and I will be going thru withdrawls...

Kacey will you make sure you have my Oneida's and fishing arrows in the boat so when I get home we can hit the water...
 
Well when you're right,you're right and OBG is right.Not trying to dogpile you or nothing but he's been preaching about these bows way before he asked for sponsorship.I would bet you a dollar bill that a 50lb Cuda will out penetrate your wifes bow something fierce.If you ask OBG real nice he could probably tell you how to go about getting one set up for her.
why mess with them to shoot more poundage when you guys say set at 25lbs is all you need...:jd:
 
Who said that?I done said that I had two Discoveries at one time.One set heavy and one set light.That aint all of them either,I was packing 5-6 bows in the boat with me for a while.:laugh:
:cf:
VVV

I killed all 282 of these with a Discovery set on 23lbs.It's backed off 6 full turns from max poundage.I'm gonna buy another one but the next one I buy is going to be the smaller 20 lb version.

Dunno what vvv means so you're gonna have to explain.

Those are nice.A buddy of mine had an Intensity and it was a good fish killer too.
the VVV were arrows to a quote from you claiming you shot 282 fish with your discovery set at 24lbs..lol...

The Oneida Discovery seems to be a really nice little bow... super light... I havn't been around any Firebrand Intensity's have heard mixed reviews about the quality...? but I like the concept... I think the discovery will be getting a Monster maker over thou... not to hip on the limb lean.. kind of freaks me out a little...lol..
 
Here's 40 more fish that the Discoveries bounced arrows off of tonight.

Glad we are not the only ones that shot some fish last night would have been a few more but the temps started to drop to the mid 30's... wish they were a little bigger but I think we have thinned out all the hogs in the strech of water we have been shooting by the house.
