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.
