Secrets of fishing with a bow. All about bowfishing
Bowfishing is rapidly conquering the world. It is a thrill to fish hunting with a bow or crossbow. This method of fishing is prohibited in many countries, except for the USA, Canada and some European countries. Hunting is legally possible only in private waters.
Bowfishing requires some skills, but everyone can master them if they practice regularly. The hunter's task is to track down the fish that have risen to the surface. To fire, you need to pull the bowstring a bow loaded with an arrow, and then release it.
Most often such fishing is done in shallow water. But hunting is also permissible in deep-water areas, if they are close to the coast. The clarity of the water is important. If it is cloudy, then the percentage of hitting the target is reduced. In addition, water has a refractive index of rays. You need to make an allowance for this when firing.
Pay attention to the characteristics that your bowfishing gear should have. Experienced fishermen prefer blocky hands. With them it is more convenient to keep the string taut for a long time. This makes it possible to track prey without haste and, accordingly, the probability of an accurate hit on the target increases significantly. Best of all have proven themselves in the use of reels in which the line is in a special container. This is due to the fact that the line wound over the reel unwinds with some resistance when fired. This process slows down the speed of the arrow.
Bowfishing arrows are different from regular bowfishing arrows. They have a float, a harpoon and a line attachment device. Compared to standard ones, they are heavier and do not have feathers that can distort the movement of the arrow in the water. So that nothing distracts the hunter from the bowfishing process, the presence of special ammunition does not hurt. Namely: gloves that will protect against possible injury with an arrow when fired; wading suit and boots; polarizing glasses that extinguish water reflections.
