This week, Matt and Derrick tackle questions submitted by YOU, our listeners. These questions are very well stated by our listeners, and they cover a lot of the “touchy subjects” when it comes to bowfishing. We also dive into early season bowfishing tactics, discuss the TANK of a common carp we shot last week, and what we think the next “breakthrough” will be in the bowfishing world. Derrick also gets surprised with a fantastic gift from Jeff Neiball.

We sit down with the owners of AMS Bowfishing and take a look back to the very beginning and how it all started. Cindy's father, Jack Lasee, had a vision back in the 70's and Cindy followed that vision to what is now known as AMS Bowfishing. We discuss Cindy and Jeff dating in high school, building retrievers in their small apartment, how they managed a family with an expanding business, floating down the Black River in canoes, bowfishing for sharks and crocodiles, and everything in between.
