cross bow fishing

Cross bow fishing is a traditional method used in India for catching fish in rivers and lakes. It involves using a specialized bow and arrow setup to target fish underwater. This technique is popular in regions like Kerala and West Bengal, where local artisans craft these bows from durable materials such as bamboo and wood. The arrows are often tipped with sharp metal points to ensure effective penetration. Indian cross bow fishing products are known for their eco-friendly approach, as they do not rely on electricity or harmful chemicals. Many communities use this method for subsistence fishing, preserving cultural heritage while supporting local economies. These products are typically handmade, reflecting the skill and craftsmanship of Indian artisans, and are available in local markets for both domestic use and tourism purposes.
