I've noticed some fiberglass arrows marketed for bowfishing, do you need something with that kind of water resistance or is it an issue of weight and kinetic energy after hitting the surface of the water? I ask because I'd love to get some bowfishing in, and I wanted to know if I needed different arrows or if what I normally make would work.
I'll also ask this here, as I have gotten zero input in the other forum, but I've noticed that's just the way topics are there sometimes-what do you need for a successful alligator arrow? I know some places sell complete ones, but they may be over 6" too short for my setups. I'm gonna have to make my own, and I was wondering what people would recommend for the setups, and why-I don't know enough about arrow selection for trying to pierce gator hide, and I have a year to learn before I try next year. Planning a bucket list hunt for my tribe's ancestral foe as well as to earn warrior status, at least in my heart.
I don't have any "I heard I should do X" ideas-I'm coming with no presuppositions. I find it always helps me learn more when I don't think I know something.
