Dropping a bow in the water is a bow angler’s worst nightmare. Not only does losing your bow put a damper on the rest of your trip, but many of the bows cost far too much money to watch sink to the bottom of the lake or river. Unfortunately, there are few options available to prevent this nightmare from occurring.
Some anglers use a bow sling, but this can get in the way when shooting and moving around in the tight confines of a boat. Others fashion floats, often from foam pool noodles, which are cut to short lengths and placed on the limbs.
While this option may work, you will need to test your bow to ensure it fires correctly with them in place.
