Nighttime Outdoor Adventure

We met our guides at Bull Shoals Lake. Brian and his team offered clear instructions on using the bow and pro tips for success. Stained Water Bowfishing provides training and tips for all ages and skill levels, from beginners to seasoned anglers. They explained how the fish move how to anticipate their movements, and the way the water reflects, to aim with that in mind.


Bowfishing combines the thrill of fishing with the precision of archery, offering a hands-on and engaging activity for participants of all ages. Our family, including Grandpa, Uncle Jeff, parents, and teens, loved the excitement, laughter, and a bit of friendly competition. Our large group required two boats. One boat caught the first fish, the other caught the largest.

The highlight of the trip was my daughter's successful catch of a 21-lb fish with the compound bow. Brian and Josh's storytelling and expertise added depth to our experience, enriching our knowledge and fueling our excitement for future adventures in the great outdoors. We highly recommend Stained Water Bowfishing as a hidden gem adventure in Branson, Missouri.
