Jacob Kraft

VP, Design & Engineering

​Jacob Kraft can’t hardly remember a time when hunting wasn’t a part of his life. After killing his first deer and turkey at the age of 9, he tagged along with his father and grandfather in the woods for many years after that. 
Jacob immersed himself in the outdoors, starting out hunting field edges on private land. Several years ago he took his hunting to the next level, choosing to go deep into public lands and adopting a run-and-gun style which allowed him to be much more mobile and to go after deer instead of waiting for them to come to him.
Deciding to hunt strictly with archery equipment, his current goal is shooting a deer in all 50 states from public land with his bow. When he’s not deer hunting, Jacob enjoys waterfowl hunting, shooting predators and trapping. He also loves baseball, golf and fishing. 
After growing up in the Kansas City area, his love of the outdoors led him to pursue a wildlife biology degree in Maine. He ended up with an associate’s in diesel technology and currently lives just southwest of St. Louis where he and his wife just welcomed their precious daughter into the world.

​Greg Staggs

VP, Media & Strategy

Greg Staggs developed his love of the outdoors tagging along behind his father and a pair of beagles chasing rabbits in the Missouri Bootheel. When he wasn’t listening to the cry of the hounds hot on a bunny’s trail, he was paddling a 10-foot jon boat with his Dad in front until the wee morning hours of most July and August nights looking for bullfrogs.
Later while attending college, he picked up bowhunting as a way to put more meat on the table during his self-funded undergraduate years. Completely self-taught, Staggs struggled those early years and turned to voraciously reading every piece of information he could on whitetail habits. An incredible amount of trial and error eventually gave way to steady success, leading to over 100 big-game animals killed on public land, including elk, turkey and antelope -- and all taken with a bow. In addition to a tenacious mindset, Staggs attributes much of his success from having employed a mobile, run-and-gun mindset way before it was popular to do so. Though bowhunting dominates his outdoor time, he is also passionate about predator trapping and passing on the heritage to others. In addition, Staggs also loves camping, floating and fishing the Missouri Ozarks chasing bass and other assorted game fish. In short, if it’s outdoor related, you’ll find him pursuing it. He’s particularly proud of the fact his family hasn’t had to purchase red meat from a grocery store in 24 years due to his bowhunting, and was featured on NBC’s “America Now”, hosted by Leeza Gibbons because of it. 
A frequent feature contributor to Petersen’s Bowhunting, Staggs was the long-time back-page columnist for Inside Archery, where he was tabbed to replace bowhunting Hall-of-Famer Jim Daugherty. You’ll also find his work in Field & Stream and a host of other outdoor magazines. He served six years as a non-commissioned officer in the Army National Guard’s Military Police Corps, and later two years in the Army Reserve as a public-relations specialist.
