I posted this in another forum but you mentioned kids and bowfishing. This is my daughters first fish that she shot today. Looks like a 24" shortnose. Her name is Sarah and she is 7 1/2 years old. She shot eight times today at some very active gar. I was so proud when she connected with this one. She missed all the other fish by mere inches. Later She came up to me and said that " mom says it's ok for us to go again this week after work". I think she is hooked!
