[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 334083, member: 6937"] Truthfully, laminated or wooden bows don't have any business being around water, especially in a boat where they may be dropped in the water. As the wood is exposed to the water, or even the humid night air, the glue in the laminations can weaken. This [i]could[/i] lead to a broken bow. Admittedly, when I began bowfishing, I used a 30# recurve bow, and did pretty good with it, too. Much lighter than a compound bow, for sure! But as I said, wooden bows, just like wooden stocks on rifles, don't have any business being used in a hostile environment, like staying damp or wet. This is why they use synthetic stocks on rifles, and why they use composites for a lot of bows intended for bowfishing. [/QUOTE]
