Anyone here bowfish? I have an old pse with a reel on it.

Shooting lots of carp. Wanting to get out in the flooded rivers. We get into the big buffalo and freshwater drum.

Good times.

Does anyone out there bowfish? I was looking at the set-ups at the local Bass Pro, and it looks kind of cool to try out. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Just wondering what some of your favorite rigs for bowfishing are

I'm going to give it a go. I tried it last weekend with my Mathews, and target arrows. I figured out that carbon arrows float, and it looked like fun, so I tried shootin some carp.

I know we've talked about this before, but does anyone else bowfish?

bowfishing is a blast. You could get an older bow with a shorter draw and lighter weight to use and put a bottle reel on it and it would be one of the cheaper routes. Best luck i have had with tips are muzzys.

One of these days I will be able to respond differently to these threads. [:D] I have been wanting to try bowfishing for some time now just haven't done it yet. I do have 2 older bows now that I could get set up for it. Maybe this will be my year. [^]

we did a lot of bowfishing in the creeks and small ponds growing up. All we ever used was a simple plastic bow reel, made by martin I think. Somethimes the string would get hung up, but the whole set up was under 30 bucks and is still available for that price. We used old recurves and shot a lot of carp and suckers this way. Here is a link to the very simple set up I am talking about.
