Question about Bowfishing

[Squirrelhunter91]

when you shoot at a fish in the water, does the arrow go thru the fish or does it get stuck?

[jlb66]

Depends. What kind of rough fish is it, your bow poundage, fish depth, distance, and arrow weight. Probably 9 times out of 10 the arrow will go through the fish but all these factors contribute to the arrow gogn through or not.

ooo do you bowfish? what is the average shot of a bowfisher? how is the distance measured? feet,yards,inches?are you allowed to use bait for bowfishing or does that really depend on the state?

I've gone out for carp a bunch of times no need for bit just get into the water and shoot 'em as they swim by. Aim low the water can make a fool of you

I shoot a 45# recurve for bowfishing and the arrow goes through the smaller fish almost all of the time but large carp and dogfish the arrow usually sticks in the fish.
