When it comes to choosing your arrows, you’ll find that the tip of your arrow is essential. If you’re using a fixed-barb arrow, it may not penetrate a large fish. Instead, it will bend straight, strip the tip, and break it. In this case, heavier tips may be the way to go. However, if you’re using a lighter tip and a large fish, you may find that a fixed-barb arrow is not effective enough.
AMS Safety Slide
The AMS Safety Slide for bowfishing re-tunes your arrow after a shot by keeping your line out of the arrow’s path. This is particularly important if your bowfishing arrow has a tendency to snap back due to tangle. When used properly, the Safety Slide will keep your line away from your bowstring and out of your way. AMS Safety Slides for bowfishing arrow tips are made in the USA.
When a bowfishing arrow is fully drawn, the line can easily become entangled with the bowstrings. If this happens, the arrow can snap back toward the shooter, taking his eye out. Safety slides keep your line out of the way during the draw and release and are made to last. An AMS Safety Slide is made from durable plastic and is easy to install. It is also made with splines to eliminate dirt buildup.
Muzzy quick-release fish point
The Muzzy quick-release fish point for bow fishing is one of the most popular types of fishing points. Designed to be used on fish that have soft flesh, these points are easy to replace when they wear out. Tournament shooters use the Muzzy Carp Point. Muzzy also offers a quick-release Gar Point with a Trocar tip for bone-breaking penetration. Each tip is crimped to the ferrule to make removal easier.
Both the Muzzy Carp Point and Muzzy Classic Fish Arrow feature stainless steel ferrules and feature the same quick-release barbs. Despite their similarities, these points are more affordable than the Innerloc. While they are not quite as well-known as the Innerloc, they have a solid feel to them. They are also very reliable. However, if you are looking for a bowfishing point that’s lightweight and reliable, you should consider the Muzzy Carp Point.
TRUGLO breakaway point
A breakaway point on a bowfishing arrow is an excellent way to prevent a fish from falling into the water. There are a variety of breakaway points available, including the TRUGLO. These tips are made of elongated, hardened steel with a pivot at the end, similar to industrial strength wall anchors. While most of these points are designed to penetrate larger fish, they do not penetrate smaller ones. If you do happen to hook a smaller fish, you may need to cut off the bolt. However, this is a good option if you don’t plan to shoot any smaller species.
AMS Bowfishing arrows have a new twist on traditional points. They feature an O-ring between the tip and the rest of the arrowhead, improving accuracy and stabilizing the tip. Another new style point is the TRUGLO Ankor FX, which uses three collapsed barbs for a 2.5″ holding area and two turns to release the barb. While this point is great for larger fish, it’s not ideal for soft-bodied cats.
AMS QT breakaway point
When it comes to breakingaway points, there are many options to choose from. For a more affordable option, try the Chaos FX, which is designed for all types of shooters. AMS Breakaway points are designed to rip big game, with a special collar that allows the shooter to pull the shaft free from the point after striking a target. The extra slack helps reduce damage to the fish.
The AMS AnKor ™ QT breakaway point is one of the most effective points available. It features a stainless steel tip with three barbs that collapse on impact. This provides an easy entry hole for penetration, and with just a couple of quick shaft turns, the barbs spread out to release the fish. The AnKor QT is made in the United States of America, and its barbs are orange to help you identify them in the water.
