Good shot. Thats something iv nvr done, bowfishing. I built the deck and rigged a guys boat for bow fishing, but was nvr able to get on the lake with before having to deploy again. Is it the same bow set up for hunting, except a real where the stabe goes? And of course completely different arrows.

If you already hav a bow it's not to expensive. Arrows are around 12 bucks a piece but last, and a rig is around 150. Just take your bow to bass pro or cabelas and pick you put a rig and they'll get you fixed up and show you how to use it. It's a really good time. I do it a lot in the summer time just walk up and down a river or creek and shoot them from the bank

It's a blast to do. I picked up a decent bow at a pawn shop for 50 bucks and mounted an AMS reel on it. After that your good to go. Will work with any bow

Yes they have mounts that go underneath. Seems like crossbow would be hard to use though

Yeah they make reel mounts and bolts for fishing with a crossbow. I would use a regular bow if you can though, unless you cant draw a bow due to a disability.
Would be a pain to load a crossbow and shoot a whole bunch when you get into the fish.
Most times for shallow fish I only shoot a 29# bow.
