Broken Nock Bowfishing is running a limited-time special that's got the local fishing community buzzing. You and three buddies can lock in a top-rated bowfishing experience at 25% off the regular rate. This isn't just another fishing trip – bowfishing combines the precision of archery with the excitement of angling, creating something totally different from your typical day on the water. Whether you're seasoned with a bow or have never drawn one back, this customer favorite experience puts you right in the action where rivers come alive with target species just waiting for that perfect shot.
Your bowfishing adventure starts when you step aboard with Broken Nock's experienced guides who know these waters like the back of their hand. The boat setup is designed specifically for bowfishing – elevated platforms give you clear sight lines into the water, while powerful lights pierce through to reveal fish cruising below the surface. Your group of four gets plenty of elbow room to move around and line up shots without bumping into each other. The guides handle all the navigation and positioning, so you can focus entirely on spotting fish and making your shots count. Most trips run during prime feeding times when fish are actively moving in shallow water, giving you the best chance to put arrows on target. The atmosphere is relaxed but focused – there's something addictive about watching arrow after arrow find its mark while you and your crew cheer each other on.
Broken Nock provides all the specialized bowfishing equipment you'll need, including recurve bows set up with the right draw weight for water penetration. The arrows are fitted with barbed points and attached to heavy-duty fishing line that's secured to the bow with a retrieval reel system. Light refraction in water makes fish appear closer to the surface than they actually are, so your guides will walk you through the fundamentals of aiming low to compensate. The shooting technique is different from land-based archery – you're dealing with a moving platform and moving targets, plus that tricky refraction angle. Quick follow-up shots are often possible since fish don't always spook immediately after the first arrow hits the water. Your guides position the boat to take advantage of wind and current, keeping you in the most productive zones where fish naturally gather. The retrieval system lets you pull in your catch hand-over-hand, and there's real satisfaction in seeing a solid fish on the end of your arrow after making that calculated shot.
Carp are the bread and butter of most bowfishing trips, and for good reason. These hardy fish cruise shallow waters year-round, often in large schools that create multiple target opportunities. Adult carp typically range from 5 to 15 pounds, with some monsters pushing 20-plus pounds that will test your shooting skills and retrieval strength. They're most active during warmer months when they move into the shallows to feed, making spring through early fall prime time for consistent action. What makes carp exciting for bowfishing is their size and the fact they don't give up easily – even with a solid arrow hit, you'll feel their power on the retrieval line.
Gar species add serious excitement to any bowfishing trip with their prehistoric appearance and lightning-fast strikes. These toothy predators can stretch anywhere from 2 to 6 feet depending on the species, and their armored scales create a challenging target that requires precise shot placement. Gar are ambush hunters that often lurk just below the surface, especially around structure or vegetation edges. Summer months bring the most consistent gar activity when water temperatures climb and baitfish populations peak. Landing a big gar is a highlight moment – their unique prehistoric look makes for great photos, and the challenge of penetrating their tough hide adds an extra layer of skill to the hunt.
Buffalo fish round out the target species lineup as another substantial bowfishing opportunity. These native suckers can grow impressive – mature buffalo commonly hit 10 to 25 pounds and provide excellent shooting practice due to their steady swimming patterns. Unlike the quick-moving gar, buffalo fish tend to cruise at predictable speeds, making them ideal targets for beginners getting comfortable with their shooting form. Peak buffalo activity occurs during their spring spawning runs when they gather in large numbers and become less wary of boat traffic. The meat quality is surprisingly good on buffalo fish, and their consistent size makes them a favorite among guides looking to put clients on guaranteed action throughout the trip.
This 25% discount won't stick around forever, and Broken Nock's calendar fills up quick once word gets out about their specials. Four-person trips book fast because they hit that sweet spot – enough people to keep the energy high while giving everyone plenty of shooting opportunities. The guides genuinely care about putting you on fish and making sure your group has the kind of day that turns into stories you'll tell for years. Remember, this offer can't be combined with other promotions, so if you've been waiting for the right time to try bowfishing or get your crew together for something different, this is your window. Bowfishing creates instant addicts – there's something about that combination of archery skill and fishing excitement that hooks people from their first trip. Your group will leave already planning the next outing, and with this discount, you're getting world-class guiding at a price that makes the decision easy.
