ABOUT AIM LOW PRODUCTIONS, LLC
Aim Low Productions
was started in June, 2004 by
Keith Riehn and Robin Parks.
Our company name is a direct
reference to the need to
"aim low" when bowfishing
due to the water's
refraction of light. Though
we are not full time hunters
or outdoor video makers, our
equipment and attention to
detail allow us to produce
professional quality outdoor
videos. We have recently
taken that same approach in
bringing our experiences to
national television.
"Aim Low Bowfishing
Journals" can now
be seen on the Outdoor
Channel, allowing the us to
bring our enthusiasm to your
living room. It all
started when our first
DVD, "Aim n' Low, Volume I"
was released in February,
2005 to high reviews. Many
viewers have told us that
they feel our video is the
best bowfishing video ever
produced! Volume II has been
even a bigger success as
Robin and Keith arrow the
BAA World Record Alligator
Gar, which weighed a
whopping 244.5 lbs. and a
state record buffalo. We are also
filming for our first
hunting DVD, "Can't Get
Enough...", and have already
banked some impressive
hunting footage.

Jake
Kerstetter
Springboro, OH
Jake Kerstetter has lived in Ohio his entire life, and currently lives in
the SW part of the state with his wife, Jessica, and dog, Hoppus. Jake
was lucky enough to grow up in an outdoors family and his dad took him
hunting and fishing starting at a young age. His true passions now are
bowhunting and bowfishing, but Jake does find some time to hunt waterfowl and
turkeys. Ever since he shot his first carp with a small children's recurve
and a generic wooden arrow at age 8, the bow fishing addiction has kept him
busy. Jake has been lucky enough to bowfish in quite a few places around the
country and take a variety of species along the way. He plans to go to Texas
with Robin and Keith this summer. Fall will find Jake in the Ohio
whitetail woods pursuing some of the greatest deer the state has to offer.
He has harvested a few nice ones, but just being out there and experiencing
the sights and smells of the woods on a cool fall morning is what drags Jake
out of bed. Jake says, “I'm excited to be working with the Aim Low crew and hopefully we
will be able to show you some adventures on the Aim Low Bowfishing Journals
TV show or an upcoming DVD”.

He has been bowfishing in several states taking common and grass carp,
paddlefish, buffalo, long and short nose gar, alligator gar, bowfin and
stingrays. Darrell’s addiction would have to be chasing “rollers” (gar) and
whitetails. He has yet to set any records, but Darrell knows they are out
there. He is looking forward to taking one on film for upcoming videos to
share with everyone. Darrell resides with wife, Tammie,
and son, Devin (13).

times Tammie went out, she brought with a book to read for times when the
action wasn't fast and furious. By the 4th time she told Darrell they
weren't leaving the lake until the bucket was full. Tammie says, “I was
hooked!” She has bowfished in a few different states for common and grass
carp, buffalo, bowfin, stingrays, long and short nose gar, alligator gar and
paddlefish. Tammie has hunted upland game and has been chasing deer and bear
for 4 years, and has already connected with 1 nice 10 pointer. Tammie says,
“My next big pursuits will be arrowing an alligator and an antelope.”
Kristen

Robin's daughter, Kristen (14) has already taken 5 deer
(three of which were in front of a camera) and two turkeys while
hunting with a gun. Her first success was the turkey at age 9. The last deer
was taken while being filmed for the first Aim Low hunting video. Though
pretty nervous in front of the camera while talking, she handled the
pressure like a champ at the moment of truth. She told me, "I get too
nervous in front of the camera! But it is pretty cool to see you and your
deer on the video.Robin says, "I hate to sound like I am bragging, but this girl is
really beginning to know what she is doing!" Also, look for her to begin bowfishing in
2007!
