get ahold of carpsniper, he way lays the bejebus out of carp with a bowfor my fishing bow i picked up a cheap compound i found in a pawn shop that was in good shape, have it set at 55lbs i think, makes for easy all day shooting. id imagine that a typical fiberglass fishing arrow is most likely going to start losing accuracy around 35 yards (this is just a guess, anyone feel free to correct)whenever i get out to do shoot carp my longest shot is maybe 15yds, arrow always flies true but im still learning where the fish actually are in relation to the whole looking through the water surface deal, in short i miss alot
You should try running something other than broadheads when shooting birds with arrows. The judo points and other similar heads work sweet. I'm still not sure I'd take the dogs along but either way...

Problem would probably be falling within size restrictions... You wouldn't know how big or small they are and end up harvesting fish outside the size limits. I've done a little bit of sight fishing with a fly rod for them. It is a blast but, with a bow, I could put away some monsters at 30-40 yards. We're typically not casting much further than that due to the size of flies... some look like old gym socks and feel like they weight about the same when you cast them..

im pretty sure all you can shoot in washington is carp and bullfrogs. Frogs are blast to shoot while spotlighting
