@tbokkaa By Runnells in the river

[racing2l]

@pellman77 Thanks buddy!!!!

[alwaysoutdoors7777]

[jruss1659]

[racing2l]

@jruss1659 This was on the Des Moines River. Thanks for watching & GOOD LUCK TO YA...

[cobrass11]

do you site down the arrow? or do you use an actual site and peep?

[1and2skaters]

hey i liked the video and what type of bows were you guys using

[novakbr]

That kid makes me proud to be from Iowa! What a Great shot he is. Your a good dad too for taking the time to get him out bowfishing. Was that the Coraville Res you were on?

[kingofthesouth03]

Did you guys use a Site with that pro retriver?

[079Gerardo]

in what part of iowa was this?

[fishcity100]

hellofa shot at 1:20 what poundage are yall using?

[racing2l]

Thanks buddy- that would be my boy,  he was shooting about 30 pounds and for my other half he is shootn about 50 pounds and I shoot about 40. Thanks again for the great comment!!!

[DEADEYE1231]

wow those kids are beasting those fish ha. and all you people who keep downing these people for shooting the fish well be smart and dont look up these vids duh. and i bet everyone of yal has never picked up a bow and understand how challenging they are so how bout you leave you negative comments to yourself.

[racing2l]

Cool post buddy -THANKS!!!! I hope you can get out and enjoy !!! Good luck and have fun....

[PlanWolf]

hey i wanna start bowfishing but the 1 thing i cant figure out is with the arrows used how do u remove them??

[racing2l]

If you are using a bowfishing arrow, you just unscrew the tip, the fish will just slide right off then. Good luck to ya!

[racing2l]

THANKS FOR THE GREAT COMMENT!!!

[snowmofrk13]

yup muzzy and ams make a great arrow combo for 14 dollars with the safty slike which i would strongly suggest and they just pound the carp and suckers

[poolroom1]

@PlanWolf usually you just twist the arrow and the barbs reverse

[cjuyy5]

the kids a good shot

[jimmyboy3264]

u uys are realy, realy sick, just because you can't them fair and the right way, u shoot them with arrows?! go and gatch them fair uj noobs!!

[PlanWolf]

hahahaha it takes skill to hit a fish with an arrow then reel it in without breaking a string or getting tangled

[fishcity100]

@jimmyboy3264

You obviously dont know anything about the seriousness of the carp invasion in america. Look it up and shut up yankee

[snowmofrk13]

well do you even know how bad it is there are no natural predators especially in the northern part of the US there are no gators and stuff like that up here in wisconsin to kill them except musky but once they get to 3lbs the carp are off scott free then

[jtschid0910]

@snowmofrk13 where can i find carp in minnesota

[snowmofrk13]

talk to local fisherman and check with the DNR for season dates most rivers i know the st croix and miss have carp and other rough fish or just look for some small back water ponds more times then not they will have some carp or suckers in them most of our honey holes are just farm ponds and backwater flats on rivers

[jtschid0910]

@snowmofrk13 ok thanks

[jtschid0910]

@snowmofrk13 where on the miss are there carp, are there any up in brainerd mn

[Jangosaurus]

@jtschid0910 I live in still water, If you want to make the trip bowfish lake elmo. Beast carp fishing and bow fishing

[nerfkid123456789]

wow good job

[010CLM]

ight well my set up comes with two arrows so sweet.thanks for the info.

[racing2l]

Go Getem

[010CLM]

hey i just orderd a bow about a week ago and can sumone tell me about how many arrows will i need to have with me at all times?do they break often and do u lose them often?

[racing2l]

You will need to get a bowfishing rig and 2 bowfishing arrows. We take a few just in case something would happen to one. But they are pretty strong. When they are tide to your fishing rig you dont lose them much but it happens or you might break the nock so just have a back up.

[versionintegrale]

i would recommend getting taught by someone or a club about how to use the bow if u dont. because the bow is nothing unless u know how to use it

[Thumper700]

Looks like you guys had a great time. That boy is a good shot, you must be proud. Now I've got the itchin' to get out and do that again.

[racing2l]

Thanks alot we appreciate the great comment!! Glad you got the itch, hope you get out and and shoot a few!!

[xCaptnSniperx]

iowa is the best!! the best fishing and unting

[racing2l]

Thanks we try to keep it a secret. shhhhhh dont tell anyone!! lol Thanks for the comment!!

[LOOOL58]

hey what for a Bow does i need for Bowfishing?

a Compundbow or ? a Lingbow?

[racing2l]

A compound would be the best for something like this. Good luck to you!!!

[LOOOL58]

hi can i bowfishing in Germany did i need a License a fisher license or Huntinglicense because i would test it on our big Lake

PS: Does I need a License

Sorry my english is not so good i hope you understand me

[racing2l]

Hello to you -You will need some kind of fishing license that is all we need here in the states. I am not sure what the laws are in Germany so just give you local fish and game a call and ask what you may need. Good luck and have fun!! I thought your english was pretty good... And THANKS for watching we hope you enjoyed it.

[JESTER588]

what kinda fish are thoes ?

[racing2l]

Carp

[asmodia14]

kids good.

[racing2l]

Thanks buddy

[asmodia14]

hey im not just sayin that either. that kid is probably better than me.

[kingofthesouth03]

well im using 53 draw weight pound on mines is that ok?

[racing2l]

Ya- it ok you could turn it down, cause if are shooting fingers and really get into the fish by the time you are done your fingers will hurt. My son shot so much that day and his little fingers hurt by the time we were done. Have a good time!! and if you get into the fish and shoot some come back and make sure you leave a comment we would like to know how it went with ya. GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND HAVE FUN with it!!!

[kingofthesouth03]

im going to use a releaser,

[asmodia14]

i used to use a release but u can shoot faster with ur fingers.

[tasco83]

im waiting for the river to go up some more i cant wait to get out there and fish

[racing2l]

Cool- its just about time the fish will be ready! Have a great time!!

[masterdust1987]

FUcking sick motherfuckers!!! why you do that to the carps!! those are beatiful fish and ur just killin' them!! and how dare you to teach that to your son.. [psyco maniak..

kankermogoole..

[menardbowfisher1]

dude shut the fuck up and dont leave comments unless there postive no one gives a fuck what you think dipshit

[racing2l]

Thanks Buddy!!!! I like the comment you made to the freek!!!

[racing2l]

Didnt your mama ever teach you any manners. Language buddy- Kids watch this stuff and your not setting a good example by cussing, someone should wash your mouth out with soap!!! You dont like? Well have a nice day.You should check out some of my other videos youll really like them!!!

[kingofthesouth03]

hey when i shoot my arrows flys fast so do i still have to aim under the fish or can i just aim right at the fish?

[19redneck94]

what lbs draw weight are yall usin?

[racing2l]

We are not using many pounds when we bow fish about 25 to 30 for the kid and a little more for an adult. Dont need alot of pounds for the fish.

[kingofthesouth03]

by the way nice video i like it cant wait till bow fishing season.

[kingofthesouth03]

you should give me some advice cause when i shoot them i aim under and i still miss lol. its my first time bow fsihing too so please help.

[racing2l]

Just aim a little low. Try to put something like a leaf in the water and pratice at shooting at it. Just give it some time and a little pratice and you will get it!!!

[buckfever1111]

when u shoot do u hane to aim lower our higher because od the refraction of light?

[racing2l]

You have to aim lower. Go and get-em it's a lot of fun. If you like huntin and fishen you will have a blast.

[joshsaun]
