 Compact bowfishing setup for driver
I'm always driving when we go bowfishing, which I don't mind but when the two guys on the front deck miss I'm always sitting back at the helm like wtf I could blast that thing from here. A whole bow setup seems a bit much but I don't want to buy a crossbow. Anybody got any thoughts on what the driver should shoot? Or should I just get a cheap bow setup and make it work?

I have a spear I keep in the boat. I also will have a bow knocked send laying on my rear deck.

Pawn shop bow turned all the way down and a reel on it. You're in business.

 Re: Compact bowfishing setup for driver
Those slingbows look cool but 200 bucks is a little steep. Of course that's about what I'd pay for another bow...
I like the idea of a spear, what kinda spear do you use, did you make it from a fiberglass pole or something similar?

Barnett H20 is pretty compact. I have one with an AMS retriever mounted to it that I shoot often.

 Re: Compact bowfishing setup for driver
Get something with zero letoff. Letoff sucks donkey balls for bowfishing. If you want something cheap, get a genesis or an old recurve.
