 Did I pick up a deal on Monday? (Bowfishers) Warning: I'm brand new to bowfishing
So back during gator season, we found a spot that was overrun with gar. The next night out we brought gigs and during our gator hunting breaks we would slaughter the gat with the gigs. So for the past few weeks, I've been searching craigslist and looking for a deal on a bowfishing set-up since I figured it was the natural progression.
I was knocking around in Academy in Monday and saw this "deal" which seemed too good to be true. The Salesman confirmed the price and although I went in to buy fishing line, I walked out with a full bowfishing kit.
Forgive my ignorance since I'm new to it, but is this a good deal and will this be a good starter bow for me?

Re: Did I pick up a deal on Monday? (Bowfishers) The reason why I assumed it was such a good deal was because the reel alone was practically $90 and the reel kit, rest, arrows and DVD was $159 on the shelf.
By that logic I figured I'm only paying $10 for the bow
(Also, I apologize for the grammatical mistakes in my posts, I can't type on a phone)

Re: Did I pick up a deal on Monday? (Bowfishers) Looks like you got a $10 bow... seems like a damn good deal to me.

Re: Did I pick up a deal on Monday? (Bowfishers) I don't bowfish but I would have bought two.

Re: Did I pick up a deal on Monday? (Bowfishers) It was at the Academy on Southside by the Avenues.
Yeah if they had more I would have bought them as well, but they only had one. I texted my buddies and they went to all the others in Jax, but all the other stores had them regularly priced

Re: Did I pick up a deal on Monday? (Bowfishers) Yes, it is a very good deal. I have one of the same set ups and it works really well. I am sure there may be better setups but for the average Joe going once in a while it will be great.
