What is the purpose of the pointed bow & trying to have bow fishing deck / rails... Wouldn't that limit your surface area for your shooters?

The pointed bow was for when riding trails with trees so hopefully i would slide off rather than cut to a hard stop like I do now... the bowfishing rails will only be on the sides of the deck where I can slide my lights in or just take them out (I dont bowfish nearly as much as I use to, but figured I might get back in the swing of it one of these days.) The front light bar is for my driving/spot lights. If I do get back into bow fishing I was thinking I would just take the driving/spot lights off and a few bowfishing lights on that light bar... Maybe I should have two of the front light bars made just for convenience of not having to change the lights out... That make any sense?

Gotcha. I was just curious.

Honestly, I have used my stock driving / fog lights only a few times. I just run with a HH light instead now, something to think about as I know many of us don't use them or upgrade to a HID light.
