Is this the sort of thing to put on the front page of a website that supports angling sportsmanship and care for the quarry?

Never tried it Ron? Great fun. Barbel are much harder to hit staying deep and all that.

Shooting a fish with a Bow and Arrow, ain't any worse a fate as hitting a fish with a Priest, and it doesn't look half as bad as swinging a Clergy round by his sandals when dispatching it either

Sorry but it's a hell of a lot worse than hitting a fish on the head with a priest.
By shooting an arrow at a living fish, you cannot guarantee an instant death - period.
Look at the fish in the clip, with an arrow through it, it's still alive and kicking.
A couple of well directed blows aimed between the fishes eyes with a priest is instant curtains for a fish. I know this because I must use a priest at least 40 times a year.

It's not instant if you have to hit a fish a couple of times with a priest, and why kill a fish anyway, Bow and Arrow, the end result is the same as with a priest, Dead Fish.
In Oz, Carp have to be killed as they are a pest, there they are netted and left on the bankside. Return one when fishing and get caught, it's a fine, and they don't muck about.
Each to their own, there are plenty of tribes that have hunted this way since time began, it's a way of life. The US also have a much better EA than us, and wouldn't let this happen if the fishing was poor.

Yes maybe you are right Ed-- perhaps similar but with laser guidance systems added but you only score half of what you would if you do it without-- hey- and another thing- perhaps the same thing could be used when casting a fly and then you could dispense with all the arm aching c--p!. You would hit the target every time and go home early with a full creel!- any good or what!!

I reckon fishing a 'blob' under a bung is about as sporting as bow fishing ....... don't you Ron ??
