Ed Grosko Hog and Rabbit I wanted to share that I just returned from a TX hog
hunt and I have attached a pic to go on the site if you like. I shot
the pig with my straight grip Great Northern Bushbow, 64", 48#'s.
Also shot a rabbit and I think I can attach that pic as well.

Donnie Wilkerson Fish Taken with Arrowl Me and my brother decided to go fishing this morning
at a small canal north of town. I brought Arrowl along for the ride
just in case gar were present. When we arrived no gar were seen but
many large mudfish (bowfin) were cruising the bottom. Most were around
8 feet deep. I took many shots and hit several but the arrow had lost
too much energy by the time it made contact to penetrate past the
barbs. After several hours and 10 bass (all caught by my brother while
I bowfished) two pretty large mudfish moved up to about the 4' depth.
I draw held really low and to my surprise the arrow hit one in the
back. He pulled line from the 888 reel but was finally brought to
the bank. The fish weighed 15# and Arrowl did a great job.
