After my Duathlon in the morning, my father and I decided to pursue a family past time called bowfishing at Marsh Island Moses Lake. I started shooting fish here when I was like 14 with my dad.<\/p>\n

The fish were not spawning so we didn’t have any massacre that took place.
\nMy father’s shoulder did ok, he still has only about 85% range of motion in his left shoulder.
\nHe took the pain though and was able to shoot at about 3 carp.<\/p>\n

One of the last shots of the day he had though..he shot the carp, broke his line, and the carp ran off with an arrow sticking out it’s side!<\/p>\n

\"Upon<\/a>

Upon entering the marsh, my father realized his sandles were a bad idea. They acted like a shovel in the mud. He had to do the whole tour of the island in bare feet! Crappit! Crappit!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"carp5\"<\/a>

Shortly after being in the water and mud with bare feet-A broadside tail shot, just north of the infamous "canal".<\/p><\/div>\n

\"carp6\"<\/a>

My first kill. Head shot! We were debating if it was a rock sitting under the water. He was not spooked at all. Until he got a headache of course.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"carp3\"<\/a>

Third shot of the day. The shoulder was getting sore holding the bow. The next shot resulted in a broken line and the fish laughing as he ran away with the arrow.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"carp4\"<\/a>

Enjoying the sun and breeze.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"carp1\"<\/a>

Last shot of the day. About a 7 yard broadside "I think that is a fish" doubtful shot.<\/p><\/div>\n

Vid of the tail shot.<\/p>\n
