what do you do about your pins when bow fishing? does the arrow drop a lot more in the water?

[3RiversArchery]

@MAIDEN068 When bowfishing we do not recommend using pins because the water displacement varies at all depths affecting the impact of the shot. Without a pin you would generally aim a foot lower than the fish. Now if you wanted to just shoot surface fish you could use a pin but you would have to move it up very high on the sight bracket.

how do u get the fish to come so close to your boat ???

[3RiversArchery]

@farkas171 Actually, you go to where the fish are. You turn off the motor and just float.

im thinkin about buyin one is the arrow accurate after not having no fletchings on it ??????

[3RiversArchery]

@ducksunlimited95 Yes. Because you are shooting at short distances, the lack of fletching doesn't affect the shot.

.......i would think getting hit with an arrow would be my worst possibility. not losing my arrow lol.

@farkas171

Either you get them at night when they are in the shallows, or you go out when they are spawning towards the surface or running up rivers.

[Predwolf2]

Erm, maybe it's just me, but I'd much rather have a snap and lose my arrow than have it come back at me.
