Bow Fishing In Missouri

Bowfishing is a great way to introduce people to archery and bow hunting. A good afternoon on a local river or lake is sure to provide plenty of targets.
There are specific regulations as to what type of fish you can shoot, where you can shoot them, and even certain hours of shooting on certain water ways. Be sure and check regulations before you head out to shoot.
This sport can be done from the bank or a boat. Either way it's been described as a cross between hunting and fishing with plenty of action.
