Default HELP! question about my bow!

this is about bow fishing but bear with me please because i figured that you guys would know more about how it would effect my hunting bow... I have a bear instinct 60# and i was wondering if a bow fishing arrow would harm it in any way because it is much heavier thank my hunting arrow. I know that compounds way not be the best for bow fishing but im not too serious about it, i just wanna shoot some carp in the off season on my pond. So would it negativily effect my bow if i shot a bowfishing arrow?

Thanks in advance!

no it won't hurt your bow. probably shoot a little different than your regular arrows

In fact just the opposite. Shooting a heavier arrow actually puts less stress on your bow than a light arrow.

For future bowfishing questions you can ask HNIChristine, she is the bowfishing GOD.
