Hi You guys ever hear of a 3 prong tip like for light bowfishing? I have been searching online but can't find anything?

Timmy, I don't think there is such a thing. When bowfishing, you want the head to have a barb that opens after the head enters the fish, so that it doesn't pull out when you reel it back in. I would think that a 3-prong will just pull out, and not work.

My purpose is to make a supermini 3 prong spear. I will not be shooting this from the bow.

metal fork and some electrical tape. Ive done it and it works well.

My friend welded some small prawn 3prongs to attach to our old arrows. I dont think there's anything available to buy though.

Yea, Yea, Yea. Like the one your friend made. I couldn't figure it out. My bro is quite a champ at welding. Maybe I can have him attach it. Maybe epoxy would work?

Thanks Very Happy

I would look into some frog gigs.
Years ago I had a graphite ultra lite shaft with a small screw in three prong tip that I used for prawns in Wapio Valley but I don't remember where I got it.

O.K. now I get it. that is why it was so light. What about the prongs. What about cutting the ones off an old spear and attaching them or can I get them somewhere?

they were just some random little steel rods he had, real skinny about as big around as a clotheshanger but stiff.. I wouldn't use normal three prong tips, they're big and heavy. You dont need much to hold down a prawn.
