this was the info I was looking for... I started out with one but I always hated it since most of the time I had to set the bow down to bring in fish with the bottle, but I took a spill last year and about lost my $500.00 bow with a 50 lb carp attached...lol... I managed to keep the bow in my hand... but we have been fishing deep water as of late and I would hate to loose one of my bows... Most of my bowfishing bows are very lite but I picked up a few heavy older Oneidas and figure why not dress up the wall queens with some color and help relieve some of the weight when fishing...
