The new PSE Nova bowfishing bow is not the same as the PSE hunting bow that you are referring too. Although PSE has made a Nova model hunting bow for quite a while (several years I think), not just the bowfishing specific "Nova" bow. Any bow will work for bowfishing, but do not confuse the two bows that you are asking about as the same, because they are not. Most bowfishing bows are designed with no let off cams or a very limited let off cam (such as the PSE Nova bowfishing specific bow). Hunting bows are the opposite. They typically offer between 65%-80% letoff. I hope this helps. I am just clarifying for you.
