Any tips for a newbie bowfisherman?
I went out today and tried to arrow some carp in the local canal. Boy! It is way harder to aim than I thought it would be!
Any hints on aiming setups? I find it pretty hard to locate and aim for a fish through my peep sight and my 5 pins seem to cover up a lot of the sight area. I never noticed this when shooting targets / animals - but it seems to be way harder to sight fish in the water!
I aim below the fish right? How much below my target do I aim? should I shoot the fish broadside - or head on?
I suggest anyone who hasnt tried bowfishing to give it a kick! It was by far the most fun I have had without hooking a fish!
