I just got a used bow online to use for bowfishing and thought that I would throw some pics up.  It is an AMF Wing Slim line Pro that is 58" long and 45#@28".  It just came in today and I quickly put some yarn and cats whiskers on the string, as well as a no-glove.  It's a lot lighter than my other bows, but I'm gonna get it tuned to some shafts for playing around with.  It it is primarily to be used as a bowfishing bow.  Tried some 2216's with alot of weight up front.  Way too stiff with my bareshaft but the fletched arrows grouped real nice.  I think I got a good deal on it.  $52 shipped.  The only defect that I see is some light horizontal lines (crazing?) at the fades on the top limb.  Otherwise, I am real pleased with it.

Looks good pat. We will have to bring the bows stumping to test em out if we can't make the trip fishing.

My bowfishing bow is 45# and works great! It is an old curve like yours. You will love it. I use the "no glove" and the arrow is so heavy you will not even notice anything unusual upon loosing an arrow. I use the ams retriever and would not recommend anything else! they are very safe

great buy on a great bow! Only thing is, the grip's on backwards.

There is a stabilizer bushing on the front that has a cap on it.  I took the cap off to try to screw in one of my stabilizers from my compound days, just to see if it would work.  I was thinking about getting a hawglite for nightfishing.  Problem is the bushing diameter is too small for my stabilizer.  I wonder if this is the same size all of the older bows bushings are?

A fine fishsticker, Pat!   Congrats on the sweet deal!
