For a little back ground knowledge on me, I'm 16, 6'4" and have next to no expierence with archery. I did have a little bow when I was 10.

But I just got a killer deal on a pse spyder (I couldn't take it for free so I gave the person $5) on the bow it says 23" and 40#. I know that 23" is related to the length of something and the 40# is the amount of force it takes to pull it back.

It does seem a tad small. Should I keep the bow and put a bowfishing set up on it, or sell it and upgrade to something a little bigger and better.

I figured I'd take it to an archery store to just get it checked out. Or to even see if they'd help me upgrade.

I'd like to put a bowfishing real on it, cause bowfishing has always interested me for some reason. I'd also use to just teach myself how to shoot.

What do y'all recommend or think I should do?

 

A 23" draw is for a kid or really small man (like 5'2" small) and 40# is barely legal for deer hunting in most states that I know of. If it is a recurve it would be ok for bowfishing since most of your shots will just be quick half drawn snap shots. Even then it will be small for you and you will overdraw when you pull it back all the way. You would be better of to Craigslist or ebay it and get one that fits with the cash.
