What is the best draw weight for bowfishing?

• There isn’t one. No weight is better or worse than any other – what you’re looking for is the best draw weight for you. We set the default pull weight to 40 lbs. Perfectly adequate to get the job done for most fish at a depth of three to four feet. Unless, of course, you’re hunting a Megalodon.

What type of fish can I bowfish?

• Carp, eels, suckers, bigmouth buffalo, perch, catfish, and gar to name a few freshwater options – and derivatives thereof.

Please note:

1. Always check the state or local regulations where you are before embarking on a bowfishing trip.
2. Just remember, you can’t bowfish for everything under the water – certain species are off limits.
3. Bowfishers can attract a negative press from regular fisher people for a number of reasons. Be aware that you’re sharing the rivers, lakes, and waterways with others when you’re enjoying the sport.
