used to bowfish back in the late 80's and early 90's with friends when we were kids, just small compounds with field points. we'd shoot carp and suckers in the creek, then chase them until we could catch them! got lots of funny looks from people, we were in a park, with ballfields, playgrounds, tennis, and such, not sure of the legality of discharging a bow within village limits, but hey, no one lost an eye!
