Sure, you can switch your bow back to a hunting bow during deer season. It's just a matter of taking your bowfishing stuff off.

The biggest issue would probably be the rest. A light, sensitive rest won't hold up a heavy bowfishing arrow.

As for bowfishing set ups. Check these links for gear.

Whisker biscuit makes a bowfishing biscuit. I believe it has stiffer bristles than a regular whisker biscuit. You might be able to just swap them back and forth.

I'm not familiar with the standard biscuit, so I honestly can't say if it will work for bowfishing. Sorry! []

That nova will work,keep in mind that bowfishing is rough on a bow,it is layed around in the boat,you will be dropeing it some times in the heat of excitement,it will get roughed up,try out the Flipper rest,only $10.00,and lasts a long time,and has nothing to hang up on,

Or, you could just forget a rest and shoot off the shelf. Infinite possibilities. just lighten up the poundage for bowfishing or you'll wear your arm out.
