Bowfishing on the Illinois River

Wow!!  This pretty much explains my trip to the Illinois River last week where I joined up with Mathew Schillinger and Chad Willemssen from AMS Bowfishing.  










We were on the hunt for rough fish with our tricked out AMS bows and arrows in our totally tricked out boat.  This was a trip I will not forget.  Both Matt and Chad are super people and they knew the program.  I would have to say that the night bow fishing was the highlight as we were shooting fish, being hit by fish and having fish land in our boat.  You really have no idea until you experience it for yourself! 



 I have bow fished as a youngster in the flooded Minnesota river, but this took it to a little different level.  The bows from AMS are rigged so well that it makes this a sport that is easy for anyone to enjoy.  When you see this show, I am guessing you will want to schedule a trip. 





My whole body was so sore after a day of bow fishing, I had to put the bow down for a while.  
Thanks for checking in, Dan
