6 Year Anniversary of Force Feed'em Bowfishing

6 Year Anniversary of Force Feed'em Bowfishing

Max Wadlington

It’s hard to believe it’s already been 6 years since Force Feed’em Bowfishing opened its doors. What began as an idea in college has exploded into a full-blown lifestyle—an ever-growing community of passionate bowfishers who live for the thrill of the sport, the chaos on the deck, and the stories that come with every trip.

From the very beginning, our main goal has been to provide Premium Customer Service. We strive to ensure that every bowfisher who enters our doors feels taken care of and equipped for their bowfishing adventures. We know what it’s like to just start and not have any clue what replacement tips goes with what arrow or what reel would be best for them. Bowfishing is a first generation sport for most of us, our dads didn’t teach us how to bowfish. We taught ourselves and now we are building a community to share that knowledge and help people start bowfishing or grow their passion for bowfishing!

Where We Started

Six years ago, Force Feed’em wasn’t a brand; it was an instagram account we had made in high school, where we posted pile pics and few videos of a beat-up Jon boat. We didn’t have sponsors, a shop, merch, or even been in a tournament. We just had a crazy idea, and wanted to help people go bowfishing.

So we began, we built gear from scratch. We hustled merch out of the back a truck, delivered arrows to boat ramps. And eventually, the word started to spread.

Fast forward to today—and Force Feed’em is now one of the fastest growing names in bowfishing, backed by a loyal army of shooters across the world.

What We’ve Built Since Then

  • A full-scale online shop and storefront dedicated to bowfishing
  • Over 150,000 followers across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook
  • Our own Force Feed’em gear line—hats, hoodies, rain gear, arrows, and accessories
  • The launch of the Force Feed’em Tournament Series, including the upcoming Championship on June 28th
  • Content drops from our crazy adventures and Bowfishing travels over the years

This didn’t happen by accident. It happened because of YOU—the people who believed in us, repped the merch, shared the videos, told your friends, and joined us on the water.

Our Mission Hasn’t Changed

We’re still about that same lifestyle:

  • Dirty boats, long nights, and fast shots
  • Bringing new shooters into the sport
  • Keeping it real, gritty, and wild
  • Supporting the bowfishing community
  • Providing the best Customer Service

What’s Coming Next?

We’re not slowing down—we’re going harder than ever.

Expect new products, more wild trips, bigger giveaways, fresh merch drops, and the most intense tournament season we’ve ever had.

We’re also working behind the scenes on some massive brand collabs and expanding into new states, so you’ll be seeing Force Feed’em show up in places we’ve never been.

THANK YOU for helping us turn a passion into a movement. If you’ve ever shot with us, watched a video, repped the gear, or just supported from a distance—this is your anniversary too.

Let’s make year 7 the biggest one yet!
