  • I couldn't bring myself to call it a challenge, I get so much of my outdoor equipment from Walmart... challenge just wouldn't be the right word. It's just life for most of us here in rule America!
    After using this bow I'm so confident it will work (if my aim was a little better) that I'll keep it under the seat of my truck. A person never knows when he'll run up on a good spot to bowfish!
    Thanks for watching!!!!

    That was entertaining, especially when you called for a buffalo! 🤔😂 . Can’t wait to see the results on a bowfin catch n cook. Caught a few but never ate them. Fun vid, Josh!

      Thanks!! It dont take much of a bow to bowfish with. We used to use whatever was cheap at the pawn shop.
      I've killed more deer with a Walmart bow than with all my other bows combined. I bought a Barnett crossbow right after it became legal to hunt with them here. I bet I've shot close to 30 deer with that thing over the last several years lol and a turkey.
