Kurt Wall
Passion, patience and persistence are a big part of Kurt's hunting skill. He has been hunting for over 15 years and has become an expert in the field. Born and raised in Pleasantville, NY. Kurt has learned how to hunt anywhere anyhow.

He began hunting as a teenage and has incredible passion to hunt. He is constantly looking for new hunting spots and scouting the ones he has for animals. Kurt thrives on hunting trips and has dedicated himself to be the best. His ability to shoot accurately is due to his participation in 3D shoots. Kurt believes that practice makes perfect and being able to judge distance and yardage is an important key to being a good hunter. As well as hunting Kurt loves fishing in the sound for strippers and blue fish but his favorite is Bow fishing. Because of his compassion and love of outdoor sports he has decided to take it to the next level and video tape them. He has put together a team of friends to hunt and video tape; team American BowHunters... which plans on producing yearly DVD's and a TV program.

He started hunting small game at the age of 14, and at 16 Bruce began bow hunting. He loves hunting any and everything that has a season; from whitetails, turkeys, waterfowl to rabbits. He also enjoys bow, fly and ice fishing during the winter months. Bruce takes his boat out onto the Long Island sound not only for fishing, but also for duck hunting during the winter months. So far to date, he has shot every species of duck that are found in the state of New York. He has also taken goose and duck hunting trips to Saskatchewan (Canada), Rhode Island and Connecticut.

He also has started to carve and paint his own duck and goose decoys.

Kristen Bonci
Kristen Bonci was raised in Mahopac, NY. She is new to the sport of hunting. Having just received her hunting license in 2007, she shot her first deer opening day with the muzzleloader. Kristen also shot her first banned goose. Since her time hunting with Bruce she has learned that the four seasons were no longer fall, winter, spring and summer, but now duck, deer, turkey and trout. Kristen loves to fish in the summer. This year, she is planning on getting her bow hunting license, so she can go not only bow hunting, but learn how to bow fish as well. Kristen likes to help Bruce in training their black lab, Chance as well.

Laura Santucci
Hiking, kayaking and cycling were Laura's venue to the outdoors, until Phil, her son, took up an interest in hunting. Then a new love developed, she began as a videographer until she got to shoot "the bow" now she is hooked and wishes bow fishing season was all year round. Laura lives in Pleasantville, NY and has four children.

Jimmy Boyce
Trapping raccoon and fox at the age of twelve was Jimmy's introduction to harvesting small game. Working along side his dad he would set trap lines in Westchester County. Then they would skin, stretch and sell the pellets to a local fur bearer. At fourteen years of age Jimmy got his junior licenses and began harvesting deer, wild turkey and coyotes. Sixteen years ago Kurt introduced Jimmy to the challenge of bow hunting. The stillness of the hunter and closeness of the prey hooked Jimmy on the bow. The time in the woods brings him peacefulness from his demanding job as a union steam fitter. Bow hunting is an experience Jimmy is looking forward to passing along to his three children. Jimmy lives in Thornwood, NY.

Craig Campanaro
Craig is an avid outdoorsman. He was introduced to hunting, fishing and trapping at an early age by his father, who at five months of age gave him a Browning T-Bolt 22, for Christmas. Most of his hunting, until recently has been in the New York State Northern Zone with a rifle. Through the influence of Kurt, his good friend Craig has been converted to bow hunting and they spend many days scouting and hunting. When he is not hunting or fishing Craig can be found four wheeling and snowmobiling in New York's Adirondacks Park. Craig lives in Pleasantville, NY.

Phil Rotondo
Phil is the youngest on the team; he started hunting at 14 and has had a great season harvesting his first deer and a lot of small game. Phil's enthusiasm for learning the sport is insatiable, he is constantly asking questions about scouting, attracting deer and hunting equipment.
