Pick whatever bow you would like. Some like recurves and some like compounds. I favor compounds. You can hit up ebay and find some great deals on used bows. For a reel get the ams retriever. It is the safest and most reliable reel out there. When you get arrows make sure they have safety slides on them. I like a lot of the roller rest, like the wave. I run the mako's by alpine on my boat. They are built for bowfishing and they don't cost a arm and a leg. They have killed hundreds of fish each. I have four of them and they have been rock solid.
