In honor of my upcoming trip with the guys as Bluegrass Adventures and Hailey Dulaney for my first reel (pun intended) bowfishing trip I was doing a little research so I would know what to expect.  I figured while I was out perusing the web for bowfishing information I would share with you all.  Anytime you can get out with a bow or on the water this time of year is a real treat.  So if you’re on the fence about going bowfishing or if you’re a seasoned veteran of the fiberglass arrow here are some good reads for you to kill some time until your next adventure.

Practice is paramount for us hunters. If we have one goal each season it’s to make a quick clean kill on our quarry.  That practice is even more important for those using archery gear if we expect to perform with the required consistency to be that efficient killer.  I’m thinking that if you follow this site you are dedicated to repeated shooting in the off season to meet your accuracy goals during the season.  However, if you hunt from a treestand, how many of you shoot from an elevated perch when you practice?  While any shooting is beneficial you should be sure to practice how you will hunt.
