BowCast Blog

For those of you who have never tried bowfishing, you may have conjured up in your heads an image of a huge boat with a big ass fan on the back buzzing a bunch of rednecks around in some swamp somewhere.  While that may be the way many of those who enjoy bowfishing do it, Matt and I started out a bit simpler - with our own two feet.

As a reminder, 2009 was the first year I ever picked up a bow and aimed it at a fish.  Being as resourceful and inquisitive as many of you know I am, I reached out to several individuals to understand what went into getting setup for bowfishing.   I talked to a couple of the individuals from the Colorado Bowfishing Association (COBF), I spoke with Mark Land from Muzzy Bowfishing who runs the largest Bowfishing tournament in the country, I spoke with Jeff Braun from AMS bowfishing, I spoke with reps from Cajun Archery, and I chewed the fat with many different guys who have been doing this for a long time. 

So why would guys go out all day on a boat and create a bloody mess killing carp (or other species) using archery equipment?  I wondered the same freakin thing several months ago.  From experience, I now have my answer.

My first introduction to Bowfishing was talking with Mark Land from Muzzy when he was on the show (Episode #67 - Bowfishing with Mark Land).  After a conversation over a beer last year, Matt Hogue and I decided that we were going to dive into the sport of bowfishing and learn everything we could absorb about this sport.
