Man this thread is taking off. Sounds like a lot of people have done this before I'm starting to get mad  and wonder why I haven't thought about doing this a long time ago.
If it is easy where is the fun. That is why I use a stick and string. The only sight I need is with my eyes.

As a kid I used a 35# Red Fiberglass Bear bow and cedar arrows tipped with both field points and .32 S&W cases (blunts). With the blunts, a wounded frog can jump and swim away if your aim is off. With SHARP field points, the arrow tends to "pin" them in place until you get to them. Of course, back then I couldn't afford Judo tips, which as previously mentioned in this thread, work great. Remember, frog legs taste GREAT, fried in butter and lightly seasoned. Don't waste them...
