Exclusive Interview With Chris Brackett: Why He Left Arrow Affliction and What’s Next!

I dont know i can see him going through with it and having a hell of a time and as far as the new host he can not fill chris’s shoes i am looking foward to what ever he does next and will be looking into becoming a Rut’N Hard Warrior when more info comes out on it hope to see him this summer i am headed up to bracket outdoors for some bowfishing

A good journalist would get Intermedia’s side of the story. Every consider that he didn’t “leave” AA and that maybe he was fired? That would be a good “consideration”.

[...] Exclusive Interview With Chris Brackett: Why He Left Arrow Affliction and What’s Next! [...]

Yea I feel ya. Are you going to give arrow affliction a try with the new host?

I think that Brooks Johson is going to be a great host. Ive hunted with him for a couple years now and I like his style. It should be a great show.

Call 262-432-9100 tell the operator what you want they will direct you to the right person. I think you guys forgot about the turtle and the doe shot out of season. Remember this: CB was hired by IM and worked for them he was lucky and should have played square. If he was smart he would have went with it built a bugger following and then went on his own, now he has to face the challenges of landing sponsors without having the experience of doing it. Sure his show was good but he was meerly a player an actor hires to be a pretty face. Good luck to him! At least he still has his bowfishing service and the luxury of a season of a hit show. Much Love Chris\m/ good luck brother!

LOL I’m an idiot LMFAO you are the one who will buy whatever your”hero” uses. Hey why should you or anybody else call somebody names its about Brackett, I don’t need him I have my own show anyway. I think he just goofed up like I said before Much Love Bratha \m/

what ever chris plans to do,i will back him up.i loved watching his shows and so did my son but he will be back with bigger and better. chris is for real and he is no fake.i know him personally and he will put something together and make it work and we will be supporting his one of a kind crazy outdoor adventures.good luck bro!!!! we cant wait to see whats cookin

I think That Arrow Affliction will not be the same without chris he is the reason most of us watch the show and I cant wait to see the new one its going to be a long wait but well worth it

Chris Brackett IS Arrow Affliction………….Period !

Or maybe its because he got busted not tagging deer and shooting turtles that were illegal to take..

Chris you did the right thing. You didn’t like as holding you back so you got out of it. Who cares about a turtle and a doe. There are alot of other ppl who poached everything Chris does it better than all of us and we know it. Poster k you might have your own show but you still can’t do it like cb. When you can let everyone know it. Cb kicks ass and hunts with passion for the sport of hunting!!!

I HAVE SEEN THE NEW AND AFTER 3 MINS I TURNED IT OFF! I NEVER DONE THAT BEFORE CHRIS BRACKETT WAS THE SHOW AA WITHOUT CHRIS IS JUSTED SOME GUY SHOOTING AND ARROW. WERES THE TRICK SHOTS? BRING BACK CHRIS BRACKETT TO AA.

I first watched AA and it was one of the best shows that I have seen in a long time. The whole point was to have a show different from the regular boring old sitting quiet with no action till you get to see one shot and its over. I recently watch AA with the new host and it wasnt nearly as entertaining as it was with Brackett. Actually, I think its turning into one of those old fashioned show. Look forward to seeing Bracketts own show and will follow it week to week. One more thing I will be a part of the rut n hard warriors.

Sign me up Baby! The line forms here to get in on that Rut ‘N Hard Warrior membership! AA is crap now without Chris! I couldn’t stand watching 10 minutes of this new guy. He reminded me too much of the upity, tennis playing, sweater tied around the neck, country club member with a wife named “Buffy”, priss! “OOOOPS I missed, You’re making the ballons too small and not throwing them right”. “WHAAAA!”
I just don’t think the show can survive without Chris! I admit, Chris was well…”Hardcore”. But who isn’t when they are loving what they live and vicea versa? I guess I am just now hearing about a turtle and a doe, but without the facts, I’m not factoring them in how I feel. I guess mistakes are made by ALL. Just ask Noel Feather, and the co-host of Bowhunting Magazine T.V. who shot a sublegal moose.
Chris, good luck in your new venture. It doesn’t matter what you do, because no matter what it is, you’ll make it BETTER!! Just like Happy Gilmore was to golf, you were to bowhunting. You are a pioneer, go do what you love, exactly how you do it. Screw the corporate ass kissing!!

Just got home for Iraq and I was disappointed to find out that Chris was not hosting Arrow Affliction anymore. I saw Chris at the sportsman show in PA just a few months before I left for this deployment. I can honestly say that I looked forward to seeing his show when I returned and was not happy that he no longer hosts AA. I tried to watch the new AA and just can’t get into it. I will keep a close eye on any show that he produce in the future. Chris I wish you the best of luck in all your future ventures. Thanks again for the great show and keep up the good work.

who cares if he took a doe out of season? the govt. is too far up our asses anyway. I’m done with arrow affliction after only one episode. BORING! Brooks seems like a nice guy but i can see that stuff anywhere. Brackett is a visionary.

Ill make this short, Chris was amazing! AA was amazing when Chris was the host. There’s no other guy like him. I watched about 2 min of the new AA and it sucks!!! It was extremely boring and I wont watch the show anymore…. Chris rocks and thats the bottom line!

Chris B will be sorely missed …I will watch him whenever he decides to get back into it. He loved his work and it showed .Saw the ‘new” AA tonight not impressed at all Go get em Chris

quote: “who cares if he took a doe out of season? ”

So poaching is something you can get fans for now – amazing this is what hunting is becoming.

Arrow affliction will not be the same without Chris… I know brooks johnson will do the show justice but it just wont be the same…. I dont think chris should change anything with his new show.

Met Chris in Georgia at a large outdoor retailer, good dude!
He was in the process of buying and setting up several bows for his friends with the Zack Brown band, who by the way were throwing a big party.
Chris said that he as getting ready for the rut.
I guess he’ll be hunting Georgia’s rut?

Just watched the new AA and I have to say…no offense but I was not impressed at all. Chris was a unique personality in the hunting world and to me had a true fire and passion for his craft, not to mention he was an amazing shot! I have no clue as to whether he shot something out of season but if he did as an ethical hunter I would have to disagree with that. But since I don’t know and no one has proven any diffrent then I’m still a Chris Brackett fan. Good luck and GOD bless in your new endeavors.

Bracket wasn’t as cool as you all think. Think real hard. He has a camera crew doing MULTIPLE takes to make him look like he can pull off his cool shots. When it comes down to it, he is just another dude with a bow, and there are tons of those out there.

The new show is boring! Without Chris its not worth watching. Thats the end of AA as far as Im concerned. Watching Chris was amazing what he can do with a bow and a show . I watched the new show with my wife and couldn’t believe how bad it was. Chris Brackett is AA. Hope he gets what he wants and a new show we will definetly watch for it .

The new host of AA is horibble. How can you take the veiwers challenge of shooting trough a keyhole. And turn it into a dime size hole and shoot it from 11 yeards. Take however many shots it took him. And complain about the cost of arrows. But yet NOT SHOOT THROUGH A KEYHOLE. Then say well there ya go an arrow will fit through a keyhole. It’s no wonder sponsors are dropping AA. If AA makes it through the season I personally will be suprised. CB was by far the best host for that show. Without him AA will most likely be a show of the past.

Brackett is a complete tool. How come he doesn’t have the great following in his backyard? It’s because the locals know his history. Chris is a taker and will do whatever it takes to make a name for himself. I was in a local family owned out door sporting goods store in Bartonville one day and Chris stood up a guy for the third time that he owed money to for tires and rims on his “Bracket Outdoors”truck this guy was ready to kill him. Why didn’t Chris have a booth at last years ILL Deer Classic? It’s cause he didn’t pay for his booth the year before.

And to think there are people out there that are willing to pay $100 to be in his “club”. This is proof that there are a lot of idiots out there. As P.T. Barnum once said there is a sucker born every minute!

I just watched AA with this new host and wow this is the worst show I have ever seen on TV. He complains about sponsors dropping and I dont blame them at all. I would not advertise on here either and his complaining about the cost of arrows when he misses. What is he paying for them!!!! he makes Hoyt look horrible and I will not watch this show ever again. Brackett was the man and had a great show. I look forward to what comes next from him.

I just started watching AA early this summer (or spring) ………..AND I WAS IMMEDIATELY HOOKED!!!!!! I’d record it every time i could find it. Just recently im watching it and this other guy, Brooks Jhonson of cource, started the intro, i supposed he was like a guest or something, but NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! CHRIS BRACKETT IS GONE!!!!!!! he practicly made the whole friggin show. im an avid bowfisher and and small game hunter and this was like the only show that showed any of that.

R.I.P. Arrow Affliction…………….. RUT ‘N HARD WARRIOR MUST GIVE BRACKETT A COMEBACK!!!!
Best of luck man, stick one for AA

Arrow Affliction was the greatest show on TV when Chris was the host. I watched one episode with the new guy and fell asleep. Now i won’t even watch AA IT SUCKS !!!!!

Plain and simple AA was kickass the best hunting show ever. I think what ever he does he will get the same feed back . Rut n hard will make it just fine because of CS . He is the only tv star I would like to hang out with . He could come to south Texas he’ll I would give him a 150 class just to hunt with him .

Cb is Arrow Affliction.He takes everything to the next level.No other person can fill his his spot on the show.I watched a few min of the new show and lost interest.CB steps into a realm of hunting that we all can only dream about.It is his God givin talent that makes him who he is today.When you have a fan base like his you don’t have to worry about sponsers.Company’s want to sponser those who attract attention and CHRIS BRACKETT Attract’s attention. BOO-YA-BABY WHOO

A just won’t be the same without cb I finaly got to watch AA again and was ticked! The new guy just ain’t as entertaining as Cb. I have been slingen arrows since I was only a few months old and I was still inspired by Chris. I probably won’t be watchen full draw Friday no more untill chris gets his new show going. CHRIS BRACKET IS AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I don’t think Chris would break a single law.

I am NOT a hunter, but my husband is. I don’t like most of the hunting shows, but Arrow Affliction was awesome and it won’t be the same without Chris, P E R I O D!!! Have any of you seen the new host? He’s aweful! He might be a great bow hunter, but he has zero personality and no excitement about what he’s doing. I won’t watch AA without Chris nor will I watch any show with Brooks Johnson! He can’t hold a candle to Chris.

[...] Over the past year, there has been a ton of interest in what has happened to Chris Brackett, the former host of Arrow Affliction. Arrow Affliction fans have been surprised to see a new host this year on their beloved show and many have been less than pleased about it. Fear not Brackett fans, he is back and possibly better or maybe more appropriately, badder than ever. I interviewed Chris last February and during our discussion he described his new project as hardcore, intense and unliked anything seen before in outdoor television. Now after seeing the just released promo for his new show “Fear No Evil”, I think it’s safe to say that he lived up to his word. Love him or hate him, Chris Brackett certainly takes it to a new level.  Check out below the first look at Chris Brackett and his country singing co-host Zac Brown in their brand new sneak peak of “Fear No Evil”. And to read my interview last year with CB in which he explains why he left Arrow Affliction and his plans for the future, click here. [...]

Met Chris at Harrisburg Sportsman show. Good luck to a real person. Thanks for all the time spent with my son an I.

I HATE THAT CHRIS LEFT AA . after seeing the new host i wonderd what happend to chris . i looked and looked for him a got pissed about . i wish he would come back to aa cause that dush gets under my skin.

Chris you were the best thing for arrow afflictions. Sad to have you go but glad we got to meet you in madison WI. And as far as that new host for arrow afflictions you are NO HOST. Just a want to be. Really get a grip. Chris will always kick your ass Little Boy Brooks. Chris hope you all the best in your new show can’t wait. P.S. my son has started to shot Bull Frogs with his boy at age 12. Thank you for everything.

AA is just like all the other shows now. I’ll watch it b/c I live hunting but I want pick it over any other show like used to. Chris made it different and I liked that. My buddies feel the same way. I’m still going to shoot a Mathews no matter what chris shoots. Ready for his new show!!

chris bracket ur the biggest pussy in the fucking world and i will out shoot u any day

Sincde this last post, I’ve spent some time reading up on this Creep Brackett. all you younsters that think he’s some hero, think again, all he’s doin is trying to get rich. he has been charged for poaching deer and turtles. Any True Sportman is dead set against looking like a Slob Hunter..not Asshole Brackett, he only wants to make himself look like some God with a Bow..His own Freinds and neighbours hate his guts, so what does that tell you?? He and his Evil ways of living has brought all of this on to himself…Grow up and think about it..when was the last time any So called celebrity has ever offered what this Idiot has…You join my club, and I’ll give you a hat DUHH, a sweatshirt, DUHHH, and geez when I have some parties, you are more than welcome to join us..DUHHH. what a loser you are brackett…I hope the DNR follows you Everyplace you go and bust you every chance they get, because thats what creeps like you deserve..You bring out another show, and it too will fail, and I told you that when I send you that email last year and look what happen dickhead, and your next show will fail too, because your a loser that doesn’t care for our natural resources. all you care about is looking like some big shot…you’re nothing but an IDIOT Brackett, and I will pray the next time I read about you, you’ll be behind bars with some big bubba lickin his lips over you bent over in his cell, ya creep…keep smilin Chris..

just seen the new show and it was awsome. Glad to see you back and can’t wait to see more

Let’s see Chris take on Heath Getty and TRY to outshoot him unless he’s not up to the challenge!

GREG ROBERTS GO F YOURSELF ASSWIPE
