Kicking back this old thread - anyone know if its legal to bowfish in DC? I saw I guy up at chainbridge last year, but I've seen lots of stuff at chainbridge that probably isn't legal.

Not a bow fisherman at all but as a bow hunter I can tell you there is no need to go above 55 pounds. I have killed many deer turkey and even bear out to 60 yards with a 55lb. The only time you might need more is in Africa hunting much larger game. Even still it's like anything else it's all about practice patience and shot placement. Don't give yourself a hernia trying to pull back a bow heavier than you are capable of shooting multiple times without wearing yourself out.
Sent from my iPhoneIt tops at 70. Haha. Deff keeps me in the gym just so I can shoot. But deer at 40 yards are still targets. The rocks under chainbridge look good. I've seen dozen on NSH and met a few bow fishers there.
Sent from my iPhone--Damn 65 pound pull is pretty meaty ;). I have an old browning (Beth's father's old bow before he bought some fancy Holt, or Boyt, or whatever) set to only 55 pounds. I like to target shoot, but I haven't installed and adjusted the pin sight since moving here. And I've never hunted with it....or anything else actually.Beth has a really nice bow for hunting and another more crappy one rigged for bowfishing. She always says she wants to bring it here to try carp/snakehead. Actually she was just saying this a few days ago strangely enough -- we just figured there wouldn't be too many bowfishers on the fly forum. She's done it from a bass boat on the Mississippi years ago and really said it's a lot of fun. Plus, she and her father were able to find a guy who loved to pickle/eat carp, so they'd bring their catch to him afterward.Is there anyone here who knows a good place to bowfish? I actually really enjoy archery, but I haven't done anywhere near enough of it. Honestly, I'd probably try it but it's one of those things that I'm too intimidated to just "test out" without someone who has more experience with it.Gene--

I was thinking about etiher usin my 65lb draw Mathews that I shoot for deer or trying to find a cheap re-curve. Any thoughts are helpful.On Thu, May 2, 2013 at 4:20 PM, Eric Y. <theeri...@gmail.com> wrote:I used a <$100 conversion kit on a Matthews bow. Stood up in a kayak and floated a river, trying to shoot carp. Let me tell you, it ain't that easy to stand in a kayak and shoot a moving carp with an arrow (read: success rate = 0). From the shore for NSH that are just hanging out, that I could probably do.
