    I just set up my old bow for bow fishing. It's a browning micro Midas 3. I'm shooting the fiberglass arrows. My question is with the much heavier weight of the solid fiber glass arrows. Will I have to recalculate my sight to account for the arrows greater arc?

    I just shoot instinctively for carp, no sight at all, most of my shots are super close anyway. After the first few shots you should have a good feel for where your point of impact is going to be, adjust for fish depth/refraction and you'll be stackin' em!

    Without a doubt instinctive is the way to go. with huge variations in shot distance and fish depth there is no possible way to have a pin that will do it all. best way is to sling a bunch of arrows instinctive and get used to it, and you begin to become mentally programmed to shoot a certain way for each fish. its hard to explain, but if you try it you will figure out what i mean.
