I use to bowfish with my Compound bow a while back. I still have my bow, it's called a Martin Lynx. It's a stuby bow with a max 100 pull at 65% roll over on the brass cams.
They make a spool just for the bows that replaces the balancer on the front of the stock.
What I found when targeting something in the water is to aim just off the center of the target towards the sun. In other words, if the sun is to the right of the fish, aim just right of center of the fish. From my experiance, the sun throws an illusion opposite of it's rays. Also, don't expect to hit anything much further than a few feet deep. Anything deeper and you risk not getting a good shot and loosing the fish. The same concept as deer hunting. You don't want to take a shot unless you know you can land the fish.
