Welcome!

 The Illinois Bowfishers is a non-profit group created for the purpose  of promoting bowfishing in Illinois in a manner that is consistent with  good sportsmanship and as an effective management tool for reducing  the numbers of rough fish that inhabit our waters. The fun and  challenge of bowfishing gets even better if we can help with the  conservation of our Illinois waterways by removing non-native  invasive fish such as the common carp, grass carp, bighead and silver  carp.

 The Illinois Bowfishers works closely with the Illinois DNR, lake  managers and fisheries biologists to create policies that are both  beneficial to the aquatic environment and the sport of bowfishing.

 The club frequently holds seminars in order to better educate the  public as to the negative impact invasive fish have on our waters and  to demonstrate the equipment and methods used in bowfishing  today.

 Utilization of the fish harvested is also discussed along with tasty  recipes for these often neglected rough fish.

 The Illinois Bowfishers also host several tournaments and fun shoots  throughout the year which allows archers to compete with one another  for great prizes and bragging rights in an environment that never  becomes too serious.

 
We're saving your bass, one carp at a time.
