Bow, Arrow, Rest,Reel, spin cast or retriever, line and some fish..Your set to go..Good Luck..

Type in Bowfishing into Google and a bunch of Bowfishing Supply Companies will come up and look at everything they have to offer to get some ideas..

it depends on how much money you want to spend on it-------you can go to a pond shop buya bow and get everthing else (reel, arow, bowfishing line, spot light for the boat, and maby a few extra tips for the arrow-shooting into rocks really messes them up.) at a good sporting goods store............if money is no issue you can go to bass pro, academy, gander mountian, or any other big sporting store to buy a rig thats already set up...should run you around 200$for a good'n................pond shop way should run you around.........50$

You mean pawn shop. I'm not so sure they have pawn shops where she lives.

Kat, I'll give you a list of things to look for and some links to sites to find them. I have to leave for work right now. Have a good day!
