I'm tryn to get away from all the extra weight on the bow and slowly go all primitive and hunt fish like the karankawas did here in Texas there was no fishing reels or strings they used longer arrows 3ft and longer and thanks to eddie I have my first primitive style arrow tipped with alligater bone woot so hopefully soon il stick something with it soon

Sterling,

I forgot to tell you that all that pitch glue and sinew is sealed with Bee's wax.

Just watched an episode of River Monster's going tribal.  He was in the Soloman islands.  One fellow was bow fishing with that same set up,  the extra long arrows.  They both shot mullet with it.
