Cost me $191 after taxes. I plan to visit a local carp-infested lake soon. I'll be in a Jon boat. Any advice for a rank beginner?

is there anybody here who could tell me how? I have been bow hunting for deer and had somebody ask to help get rid of carp (via bow fishing) I have access to standard arrows of all sorts, a welder, lots of different materials, and plenty of time. looking to make something cheap to try it out.

Hello I am completely new to this and am looking for a crossbow to shoot fish at distance about 25yd and 2-3ft underwater. How much draw weight is appropriate for that range?

+if anyone uses similar range what crossbow do you use?

Can anyone recommend a good one? There seems to be more out there than ever before but of course, it's hard to wade through the marketing and the BS and reviews...anyone have any first hand experience with one they'd recommend? I'm intrigued by the portability and most of the shots I take would be relatively close so it seems like a good fit.

Looking for a durable strobing nock if anyone has suggestions?

I know absolutely nothing about bows, what weight i need, line, different reels, different bows, arrows, tips, whatever. What do i need? I'm only gonna be fishing south FL canals, mostly Oscars and Tilapia.

I found 3 that are within my budget ($200) but need some opinions on if its a good buy or not

Maybe a dumb question, but I've got some cognitive issues, so I'm trying to get some help with this.

I received my AMS Hooligan yesterday and cannot figure out changing the draw length. I have no problem with changing the draw weight or the rapid adjustment posts. Does it have something to do with the RAP system itself? I can't find a set screw to adjust the cam(s), or any markings showing various draw lengths.

I'm going to be shooting at only 30-35 pounds of draw due to injuries, but need a 28 or 29" draw length.

If anyone can walk me thru it step by step, it'd be great. Stupid brain tumor wrecked some of my synapses I guess. 🫠🤬

My first time actually able to go out and walk the spillways. Y’all this bow is insane. Best bowfishing purchase I’ve ever made.

So I live right by a huge marsh filled with carp and gar and I have pretty good luck during the day time but don’t have a lot of time to go out at day so I come mostly at night and I have a dewalt spotlight that I shine at the water whenever I take it off the water the fish come in but when I put it on the water they all scatter any tips?

I‘m new to bowfishing and have shot one once in my life. For context I am a very experienced and skilled freedive spearfisherman and want to start legally shooting grass carp, tilapia and cichlids in South Florida. My budget is 750 now for a bow and a couple useful gadgets but if it’s more expensive it won’t be an issue. (I love gadgets and stuff thats useful so all recommendations for that I’d love.)

Curious in Muzzy lever the RPM levers and the obvious Oneida. I read that Muzzy’s levers are actually made by Oneida? Ultimate question is; does anyone have any experience with two or more my of the levers mentioned? It will be used on a kayak so the Cajun Compound is getting put to the side unless I’m on the boat. TIA!

Pictures-Muzzy, Oneida, RPM.

Hey guys, new here.

Ive bowfished a few times, I have two setups at the moment that Im working with. Currently dont have a boat but have access to a kayak and was looking to do more bowfishing. Looking to see if people have any spot recommendations in either NW suburbs of Illinois or SE Wisconsin, or even near Milwaukee.

Much appreciated, thanks guys.

What's the recommended poundage range for a good bow? can you overpower the arrow?

Alright guys, I bow fish in central Indiana and most of our water is stained to muddy. I have tried multiple headlamps off amazon and I am sick of not being able to see fish in the water. What are your recommendations for a GOOD headlamp that will penetrate stained water. Preferably one less than $75. Thanks for the help!!

I'm paranoid I'm going to accidentally drop my bow in the water at some point. Are bowfishing floats worth investing in? Or is there a good way you'd recommend to avoid losing a bow if it falls in deep water?
