Greg Barnhart is a custom wood worker with a great love of the outdoors, hunting and fishing.

Greg is an avid Bass fisherman who has waded the Stillwater, Mad, Little Miami and the Great Miami rivers as well as the Twin Creek. Fishing the reservoirs, rivers and lakes all over Ohio in his early years kindled a fire for Bass fishing that continues to this day. Dan Stapleton is the owner of Dan's Sport Shop in Camden, Ohio. Dan has over 35 years deer hunting experience, and is a Master Bowyer with over 25 years of experience. Dan has traveled to many destinations and fished for many species of fish.
