Great points. Just for the beginners out there, don't go shooting interloc 3 blades also known as the grapple I believe, out along edgewater that has a lot of cattails. You will not have fun trying to get your arrows out all day and you may get the wrong first impression of the sport. Open water where the bottom is not an issue or a rock bottom is present, you aren't going to have a fish get off unless it is a marginal hit which would have to be low belly or the tail fin!
