Default Most often ???

What question do you get asked about bowfishing most often?

Besides "What do you do with the fish?"

I usually get a ton of questions about my boat when we stop for gas. "What is a rough fish control unit?"

The best one I ever had was at a campground. An old man came by the campsite and said "boy someone really likes to catfish!" Referring to all of the lights. I explained to him what exactly the lights are for and what we shoot....His next statement was "How many batteries do you need?"

Let's just say I had a buddy for about an hour and a half.....He was truly wowed.

I can be at one of our bowfishing booths, next to the boat or even on the boat and people will ask.. "Do you shoot fish too?"

"No.. I'm just the boat babe." (snort.. laff..)

For me again it is always' what do you do with the fish'? And as well all know that is the bigest problem is getting rid of them. It is a little easier now that Cliff takes the buffalo.

I think the 2 most common questions I get are...

"How do you see the fish so you can shoot them?"
and
"How do you get your arrow back?"

So, after we talk for 20 minutes about polarized glasses, barbed arrows, tough line,and reel options, they want to try it out right away. ( and I get the itch to go out myself).
