Multi-network award winning host, Kip Campbell grew up in the country near the banks of the James River in Central Virginia and spent his days bow hunting, fishing and playing sports at Fork Union Military Academy. Kip knew early on he wanted to work with a weapon in his hand, so the military, law enforcement or pro-hunter were the only jobs that would be acceptable in his mind. The last option seemed pretty far fetched... seeing as how he didn't come from a "big buck" part of the country and had no tie in with any hunting companies.After high school, he attendedUniversity of Lynchburgwhere it all fell into place. Playing on the Lynchburg Lacrosse team took up much of his time at school but he continued to bow hunt whenever he could. In his second year, he switched his major to communications and started making short films and hunting videos. This gave Kip less time in the classroom and more time in the field. He also found that editing was something he really enjoyed. Then when Chad came to school there in 2003 they formed Shotfish Productions Inc. and started filming what would be the first pilot episode of Red Arrow. Although today the Red Arrow crew hunts all over the world, Kip still lives in the small town of Fork Union and frequently hunts some of the same ground he hunted as a kid. He wants to see Red Arrow TV become bigger, better and more entertaining each year. More importantly he wants Red Arrow viewers to understand just what hunting and living in the country means to everyone involved with Red Arrow. He lives for the thrill of killing animals with his bow and enjoying the outdoors with family and friends.
The time I called in (with my voice) and killed a fallow buck in New Zealand… or the time a wild turkey attacked me while driving my 4-wheeler…or probably the time I fist fought an opossum over a Snickers bar.
My Dad.
Right at this moment….On any river catching small mouth bass
Guessing people’s weight at the carnival or barking for the Yak woman. You ever seen her….???....she’s got these big ol’ horns growing out the side of her head…she’s ugly as sin, sweet gal though and a hell of a good cook… or a green beret…or a stand-up comedian and part-time ninja.
Filling out bio questionnaires and being on the road away from my family a lot of the year.
The ability to not hesitate, persistence and sweet a$$ apparel that makes you look good while you hunt.
I just happened to see a Mig-28 do a 4G negative dive and I’ve been within feet of getting hit by lightning more than 5 times.
