Check out www.hunthd.com Jon carries lots of bowfishing stuff and would be a good person to ask questions. I'm sure he is still out bowhunting, but will get back to you when he has time. 0 -

The equipment varies on what kind of bow fishing you are going to do. In my area we can go bow fishing for skates (stingray type fish) or carp. Generally what we do is take a tip you would use on the end of a cane or chair leg & drill a hole in the center of it. Then use a bolt that fits your stabilizer hole. Bolt the tip to the bow. Then we use a heinz ketchep bottle. It will fit tight into the cane tip & hold the bottle to the bow. We fill the bottle with spray foam insulation & tie about 30 feet of good wax coated string onto it. The other end we tie to a bow fishing arrow thats usually heavy fiberglass. We mostly use recurves since there is less junk the string can get hung up on. When you shoot a fish it just swims around for a few minutes & the bottle keeps it from going anywhere (ala the barrels in Jaws movie lol) Its a fun thing to do for something different. There are even guides here that will take you out bow fishing. I hope this wasnt too wordy its a hard thing to really describe. rg 0
