I always recommend getting the largest trolling motor you can afford. You running time will be greatly increased, that is unless you will be running the motor in the highest setting constantly. If you would like to see a great article on trolling motors, check out the http://www.bowfisiowa.com site under info page. There is a great informative trolling motor article.

Hi all, newbie here.
I have been visiting this site quietly for awhile. The main reason is for what this topic is all about. I am putting on a bowfishing tournament in Aug on pool 19 at Ft Madison.
Should be a great time!
You guys that like to shoot fish in MN, the prez. of the Bowfishing Association of America lives in your state.
http://www.bowfishingassociation.com if you need info on where to go.
If your from IA and you like to shoot fish, we have about 5 tournaments this summer all over the state. http://www.bowfishiowa.com

The tournaments are a great expirience, and great for kids also.
Bowfishing is an awesome sport that combines hunting, fishing and boating all in one. Sometimes the action is so intense, you dont have time to drive the boat!!

Whether your a die hard like I am or a recreational bowfisherman, all the tournament we put on are for the people, its not about money, of course they pay out, but the door prizes and the braggin rights are the best!!!

If you like to bowfish, take some time to check out the websites I mentioned.

Sorry not trying to sound like an infomercial, but alot of people that like to bowfish, dont realize there are organizations that do the work to support, protect and liberlize laws for everyone to enjoy!!

Thanks for listening.
