bowfishing arrow rest

[coombia21]

What is the best arrow rest to use while bow fishing? The stock rubber rest is not going to work for me.

Depends on what style of bow you are shooting I have a couple compounds that I shoot off the shelf like a recurve that works really well,on my other I have a muzzy roller rest and really like that.

I will be shooting an older compound. I have a 3/4 whisker biscuit on my compound deer hunting bow and I used that last year before I found a cheap bow fishing bow at a garage sale. The only thing I dont like about the whisker biscuit is the arrow falls to the bottom of the ring, but that is a lot better than falling off like it does now on my stock rest.

i use the whiskerbiskit fish arrow insert. it does its part in helping me shoot hundreds and hundreds of fish per year. they last pretty good considering the amount of shots i've put through them.

I shoot from the shelf.

I have used the roller rest in the past. It works well if you dont want to change your nock point and what not. They use to make an insert for the Wisker or one primarily for bowfishing with stiffer wiskers in it, That works good as well.

But for ease, speed of second shots, water, mud, etc. the shelf is easier to use and clean.

roller rest and the bowfishing version of the whisker biscuit work the best

i shoot a compound and use the muzzy fish hook rest, no problems at all, shoots perfect for me and holds the arrow to the same spot every time. You shouldnt have any problems with any of the bowfishing designed rests

i have an AMS wave rest on mine. got it in an AMS bowfishing kit with a reel, 2 arrows, the rest, and a dvd

I use an epoxy rest. Super simple and cheap. Just use kneadable plumber's epoxy, shape into into a ball and stick it on the rise. Then wet the epoxy on the top, knock your arrow and eye-ball the center. Work the arrow into the epoxy, and then remove. You should have a nice groove perfect for the arrow. After the epoxy cures, test fire it and make adjustments with sandpaper. If it's all f'd up, knock it off with a hammer and start over. I use this method for all my bowfishing stuff.

Thats an great Idea Tyler...epoxy next best thing is duct tape

Oh I can't take credit for it. Many guys I know use an epoxy rest. But it sure does the trick!
