Well we have some big exciting news on something we’ve been working on for a while. Thanks to our outstanding growth and our awesome customers, we’re making a dramatic expansion into a new facility.

I’m proud to announce the grand opening of our new store on May 31st. We have a new building which we have been remodeling and customizing over the last month or so and things are about finished up. This will be a state of the art bowfishing/archery shop with full bow setup and repair, a definite one of a kind. With this new facility we’ll be able to offer even more services, more products, and an even greater level of service. It’s gonna be a big step up for us and the world of bowfishing. I have really been pumped about it.

The official grand opening will be May 31st, 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM. I’d like to invite everybody here to come out and join us. We’ll be having food, giving away door prizes (lots of bowfishing stuff), and having some big time in store discounts. It’s gonna be a big deal!

I want to personally thank all of our amazing customers here, you guys are what has made this all possible, and without you we wouldn’t be able to keep doing what we do. Also my wife has been amazingly helpful and patient in getting this new phase going and does great work for us. And also I can’t thank Lisa Dunkle, our customer service expert, enough for the outstanding job she does. You couldn’t ask for a harder worker and more knowledgeable person to work for you. All of our staff does an outstanding job and I’m very proud of all of them. I’ve been very blessed and fortunate to do something I truly enjoy.

We have some more things coming and some big time things planned for 2009, it just keeps getting better!

So I hope to see some of you there if you happen to be in the area, the Chickamauga shoot is that night so stop by on your way. If you need directions, just let me know.

Got a new product just to hit the market, pretty slick too!  It’s the new Mudkat spinning reel guide.  The spinner guide is designed to help spinning reels last longer by taking some of the stresses of fish fighting off the reel gears. It also saves the shooters hands by acting as a line puller. A few wraps around the front guides will be enough to pull any arrow out of the mud.

The guide is created out of 10 gauge aluminum and the precision of a CNC machine. The space age plastic guides allows the free flow of the line without loss of arrow speed.

You can check it out with pictures at:

Winner will be featured on our website and 2009 catalog. Just email your stories and pictures to contact@backwaterbowfishing.com and if you have video you can mail it in to us on a DVD.

We just wanted to everybody know that our 9th annual Muzzy Classic bowfishing tournament was coming up next month, April 26-27 on Guntersville Lake in Alabama. We’ll be there as always and we hope to see a lot of you there. Come join us for the biggest bowfishing event in the entire country!

Thanks,

After some recommendations we just got the word from Innerloc that they will be offering the Innerloc Hydro-Strike bow with some lighter limbs for a 25-40 lb draw Lose Weight Exercise   So we’ll be offering the bow with two options now 25-40 lbs and 40-55 lbs.  I think it will be real good, I know a lot guys like myself don’t shoot more than 40 lbs and we had lots of people asking about a lower poundage version.  We should have these next week.  Let us know if you got any questions.

Thanks again!
