I cruise the waterways looking for sunken beer cans.

Rob has a pretty good idea.  I mostly practice on carp.  If you can see the fin sticking out of the water, aim at the bottom of the fish.  If you miss, aim lower next time.

It's really simple. Just don't take those borderline shots. Tomorrow is another day.

I want to try bowfishing bad. When my tax return gets here I think I might buy a PSE Kingfisher kit.

Its true the best practise is gettin' out there, but in the past I have cut out a shape of a fish and tied to it to a cord attached to a coffee can filled with concrete.  The coffee can obviously sinks to the bottom and the faux foam fish floats up as high as you want. Tie a retrieval line to the coffee can and your good to go. Great for kids as well because it doesn't swim away, lol, J
