Re: Bowfishing underwater!

Strange, I came up with this idea when I was in highschool.

Didnt think it would work. Id be interested to try it. I feel as if their max range is pretty short, they never really had a good shot to see how far it would go.

I was already spearfishing at that time, and decided it wasnt worth wasting the effort for sub par results.

Re: Bowfishing underwater!

I guess it is like anything else all the movement of the bow is slowed so the range is limited but if you are close enough it works.
