[QUOTE="ShadowWalker, post: 119278, member: 632"] I took a fish to the ribs. Generally when we are shooting there is a person on either side of the boat. We don't shoot over or in front of each other. And when we are actually shooting, we are on the trolling motor with it as slow as we can go while making progress in the current. The only exception are the jumping silvers. They respond to a certain RPM range from the outboard. The speed itself is dependent on the motor size, boat size and weight, etc. In fact, the people in some of the youtube videos shooting silvers are moving quite fast compared to what most people do. The sweet spot for the boat we were on during the tournament, for example, was right around 6 MPH. If I took my boat out there it would most likely be different because I have a smaller motor and boat than what we were on. Its really the fish jumping that are the danger. They have hard heads and can weigh 30+ pounds. If you hit another person with an arrow you were doing something terribly wrong, and need to stay home in the first place. :D [/QUOTE]
