I would add safety slides on each arrow as well.

they are a  must. I have had snap-backs and they are not as much fun as you'd  think.

Bow bowfishing arrow and string are all you need.  Of course a bow fishing reel and slides will make things more safe and fun.  

I had a guy in my boat that actually tied balloons to arrows and and shot carp with woodies and then tried to chase them down, so I guess technically you don't even need string.
Relax,
