I have been bowfishing for some time now but have a few questions. Everytime I shot my bait slips off the arrow and falls in the water. I haven't hit any fish yet. How do I keep the bait on the arrow? I've tried turing the barbs backwards but this hasn't helped. Is there a special technique for doing this?
When my arrow hits the water it makes this real weird movement and actually sinks super fast. It drops anywhere from just a few inches to a foot right where it enters the water. The freakin line follows this same path.. Is my nock point wrong or is my draw weight too high/low?

Last question. I've read a lot about the milk pillows on here. I've looked in all the local grocery stores and can't find them anywhere. Asked about them at Wal-mart and security asked me to leave and not come back. Are these only sold at those high dollar organic stores? Can I order them on line? How much can I expect to pay for a gallon or a case? Does that include shipping?

How much will shipping be on 3 nocks from Bass Pro? How big of a fan do i need for my paddle boat? ( for the bugs of course) and can i put poly on it?

Another issue ive been having thats not related to bowfishing but since yall are so knowledgeable i figure you would know. I ran out of condoms so ive been using plastic wrap and im just about out of that will it be alright to use aluminum foil instead?
