Somtimes I get lucky and pull of some real far shallow shots. Usually try to get closer though

 

[grizz]

20 yards is a long shot for me. I usually dont take far shots but if I know I cant get any closer I like to throw a few out there now and again cuz hey, your not gonna kill a fish if you dont shoot at it.

10 yards is a long shot I don’t care who you are. If you can hit a gar/small carp 10 yards from the boat 90% of the time ur a hard ass…

X2.....

I agree with brady! 20 an 25 yrd shots?? Ha y'all need to start bringing range finders on the boat!!!! I'm no sayin that shot hasn't been made b4 but it don't happen on a regular basis 4 sure!!

i have made a few 20 yard shots at carp that are out in the river pooling and im on the bank

That doesn't sound right R Dub...was thinkin Smartass would be her name of choice. .

Everyone thinks that... I am a professional smartazz :tu:

If you don't shoot at it then you can't hit it. I have run out of line slinging arrows.

An then by the time it takes u to reel all 25 yrds of line in, u could've just waited until u got close enough to hit the fish.......

The last two trips was bank fishin and all shots were at that range (on carp) out of the (plus or minus) 100 shots I took I only stuck 7 fish. Of course I'm a crappy shot lol.

i posted this before.... the first shot i'd consider a long one but have no idea how long it really was? any guesses? i'm a crappy judge on distance....

Nice shots, but man Id have a headache after a night of bowfishing on that boat! That fan is loud! I love the lighting coverage though!

Tough girl here! I had a 6500 watt Briggs and Stratton generator that sounded like that. After 3 trips it had to go!

How many of you shoot 20+ yards at night?

 

[thedavel]

If you shoot rolling gar, you're bound to have to take some long shots. They don't always roll right by the boat.

 

[thedavel]

Them big grassies when they're all schooled up in the shallows sucking moss make for some loong shots too. They spook way too easy so you gotta take what you can get.

 

[Throughthegills]

I consider anything past 5' a long shot.

My 20+ shots are the exception not the rule...just for fun once in a while. If my lights were better I'd do the same. Would be a lot harder though!

 

[Marett]

4 - 10 ft and I'm putting fish in the boat, 25 yards and I'm gonna let the 496 make up the difference.

 

[vlrlex1]

no getting high here, i was just kidding:groan: i have shot fish at 20 to 25 yards and had good success

Are we talking deer hunting or bowfishing? 25 yrds (75 ft) I dont think i even could see fish that far much less successfully getem in the boat. But hey if it works then good on ya.
