[quote drowning_flys]well you could but you would feel funny aiming it up to 2 feet below the fish to hit it on the deeper shots . It would work OK on fish on the surface if it was at the exact point to where you sighted the bow and laser in. There is an arc that the arrow follows to get to a given point that's why bow sights have multipal pins for different yardages. If you learn to shoot instinctive you will be a much better bow fisher and make the faster shots. remember if you miss aim lower [laugh][/quote]
lower is right! Took me a while to learn to aim on carp.
As far as shooting instinctive vs some kind of site I would go that route. Ive shot pins for years on my hunting setup but it doesn't work well for fishing IMO. Learn to shoot instinctive since the shots rarely are over 20 yards, I prefer a recurve since it is light and the ability to snap shoot with it is a huge plus when your slowly gliding in a boat and fish come into view and you have a small window before they spook. Also If you don't have high end polarized glasses youre going to want to get some. Difference make between having enough time to getting a shot and not getting one.
