We would like to dedicate this page to all of our sponsors. This page will provide details on the equipment that we use and that is provided to us by our sponsors. I absolutely would not use this equipment if I did not believe that this is some of the best equipment on the market today. Please support our sponsors as they are supporting the sport of hunting and bowfishing. Be sure to let them know that Gene Hobbs from Bowfishing Madness sent you.

Oneida Eagle Bows have been used by serious bowfishermen for years. The Oneidas are excellent for 'snap-shooting' at fish which is very similar to a recurve. This allows you to make faster shots. The bows can be purchased with letoff as low as 40%. If you have a higher letoff you will find that it may take you longer to get the shot off because you will tend to draw back to the valley each time. When bowfishing often you do not have time to draw back to the valley or even come to full draw. I have shot multiple fish with the Oneidas at 1/2 draw due to the fact that the fish are on the move. The Oneida bows pack a serious punch at low draw weights. We shoot most of our Oneidas at 34 pounds and never have a problem with penetration. The bows have a very smooth draw cycle. When fully rigged the Oneida Ospreys weighs in at approximately 4 lbs. If you ever attend a bowfishing tournament you will see that when money is on the line Oneida Eagle bows are the choice of the pros.

AMS Bowfishing has provided superior bowfishing equipment for bowfishermen for many years. Undoubtedly the AMS Retriever is the most popular bowfishing retrieving device in the bowfishing industry today.

All of our bows used by our customers are rigged with AMS retrievers. They can handle anything from small fish to extemely large fish and rarely have any problems. The flow of the line during arrow flight is so free that it does not affect the arrow flight in any way. The Retriever Pro also comes with an arrow holder built into the retriever. AMS Bowfishing has a full line of bowfishing equipment including the well known AMS Fishhawk bowfishing bow, arrows, fish points, line and heavy duty equipment for game such as alligator or shark. AMS Bowfishing can serve all of your bowfishing needs.

LAST CHANCE ARCHERY offers the most efficient easy to use bow press in the world! I have used many different bow presses in my shop. I was so impressed with the simplicity and time saving features offered on the Last Chance Archery press that I knew I had to have one.

When you purchase one of these presses you will no longer have to take the time to reconfigure the press to fit different length bows. If anything you may have to slide one of the limb gripping fingers in or out just a bit. This takes about 2 seconds. I have yet to find a bow that I cannot press while using the Last Chance Archery press. They offer multiple presses to fit your budget and shop configuration. My favorite is the Power Press Deluxe.

This particular version comes with a variable speed electric motor and will go from a 28" to a 42" bow in less than 30 seconds. This press will press up to 70 lbs. of draw weight. The Power Press Deluxe includes a pivot system that will go from horizontal to vertical for easy access to finish bow set-up.

If you want to press more weight then you will need the manual version as seen below which will allow you to turn the wheel to press the bows.

The manual components are machined for smooth and easy operation. Be sure to check out all of the different press models and accessories offered by Last Chance Archery. You will be glad you did!!

HydroTurf Traction Mats are extremely slick proof mats that also provide a layer of cushioning. Before we installed our HydroTurf mats we had to be careful not to slip during a night of bowfishing due to the moisture and fish slime that accumulates on the deck throughout the night. After installing the HydroTurf mats we were able to walk around the deck without worrying about slipping. As an added bonus the mats were much more comfortable to stand on than the plain metal deck. Even after laying fish on the deck for pictures I simply hose it down and the HydroTurf is once again slip-proof and looks brand new. The HydroTurf mats will give your boat a clean new look. I am VERY IMPRESSED and VERY SATISFIED with these mats. HydroTurf has a variety of colors and styles to match your boating and pwc needs. NOTE: If you decide to make a purchase at HydroTurf be sure to mention my name, Gene Hobbs at Bowfishing Madness Guide Service and you will receive a 15% discount.


Before	After

Innerloc's Bowfishing new line of H2O™ bowfishing points and arrows reflect the attitude of perfection you find in every Innerloc® product. Their new Grapple™ Point closes to the size of a penny for fast penetration and far less plane after entering the water. After the shot, Grapple™ Points open to an unmatched 2 3/4-inch diameter (larger than the size of a smokeless tobacco can!) for more holding power than any competitive point. While using the Grapple Point I have been very pleased with the design, quality and how well it holds the fish.

Innnerloc has a new revolutionary glow in the dark arrow. Now you can easily track your shot, see your fish or see to retrieve after a miss without relying on the boat's lights. Of course if you shoot your fish within the boats light range then you will not be able to see the glow due to the bright lights on the boat. However outside of the lights as long as the arrow is charged you will see your arrow glowing. Be sure to check out Innerloc for a complete line of brodaheads, mechanical heads and bowfishing products. You will see that this company is very committed to the sport of hunting and bowfishing.

Hunter's Specialties have provided us with their versatile push poles, pole foot and paddle. This pole is adjustable from 58 inches to 10 feet in length. The Push Pole features wrist strap and grips for easy handling.

And believe me this is a very rigid push pole setup. When bowfishing we sometimes shoot fish in water as shallow as 7-8 inches. On numerous nights while out bowfishing we have to utilize these push poles in order to free us from sand bars, weeds, stumps, etc... I will not go out on a night of bowfishing without the push poles! Hunter's Specialties has a full line of hunting and waterfowl products.
