Bowfishing Tips
Here are a few suggestions to a new bowfisherman. Once a new bowfisherman has obtained the necessary training, licensing and equipment, there are a number of technical things that can be done to improve bow fishing ability and increase the chance for success.

Knot Tying
Knot tying seems unnecessary in a discussion about bowfishing; however, many people are not well trained in tying knots. A bowfisherman must learn to attach the line to an arrow with a knot that will not slip. There are many books available on the market that can assist you with your knot tying skills. Knot Tying is nearly an art-form; the types of knots you can tie and how the knots can help or hinder you are amazing. Do your research, learn the different types of knots - knot tying skills will increase your bowfishing catches.
Bow Tuning
The margin of error in bow fishing is small; meaning there is a good change you will miss the fish due to some error, thus it is critical to maintain the bow in peak working condition. Generally, this will mean tuning the bow before each outing. Tuning should include adjusting the rests so they are in proper position and calibrating the nock.
Marksmanship
The marksmanship required for bow fishing is considerably different than that of bow hunting. (i) the equipment is different, bowfishing arrows are heavier, the arrow tips are larger, and there is a string attached to the arrow. (ii) the arrow is being fired into water; which is quite a different challenge from firing only through the air. (iii) light refraction in the water presents a unique challenge to bowfishermen.
