Default Question about Bowfishing

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

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.

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.
