It is an setup for bow fishing. The arrow is attached to a line that is spooled in the bottle type blue thing.

I can see why they chucked that, must be a pain to ball the string back in the bottle :P

Perhaps the "fish" turned out to be a very hungry gator.

Looks like a Bear Whitetail II bow from the 1990's (with bowfishing atachment).

Re: I never thought this would come out. In-situ guesses welcomed

It actually looks like the shooter experienced a very dangerous phenomonon called "snap back" that happens when the string catches on somthing, and goes tight in mid-air, causing the arrow to "snap back" at the shooter. It's never actually happened to me(knock on wood), but if it did, I'd be real tempted to dump my bow in the drink, too.

Re: I never thought this would come out. In-situ guesses welcomed

Were you able to restore it? Is it usable now? Was that an arrow hung up in there?
All there questions and more......
I read the previous comment and I suppose if it "snapped back" at me it'd be history too.

mad at it ate him instead of him eating it ?

Yes it is!
We used to paddle in the back waters shooting carp when we were kids.
Some of those big ole carp would take us for a spin hauling our little jon boats with them!

You stole my gator joke four posts up. That was copywrited.

That is an awesome bowfishing rig. I like to shoot carp and I have the same reel.

Re: I never thought this would come out. In-situ guesses welcomed

Looks pretty cool to me Newt, I've never seen a rig like that, awesome anyway. Ken
