‘Pure Bowhunting’ DVD Produced by Cascade Archery
Seems quite reasonable to ascertain than any new DVD associated with traditional bowhunting would stimulate considerable interes.t. Even if the production is mediocre, the brotherhood will likely provide substantial support.
Just a few of my observations:
Content: Much different perspective taken where the focus was on the total embodiment of the gifts which the traditional way brings forth.
Footage: Captured views as if I was actually viewing a live scene first hand. The picturesque composition had me yearning to share in their adventures.
Camaraderie: Genuine camaraderie, and unparalleled friendship which remains personally at the top of my list these days.
Game harvested: The harvests were well done and in the best of taste. As a bonus, many of the animals were magnificent representatives of their species. Was also quite thrilled with the nice shot placements and the honor bestowed each downed game animal.
Detractions: The only negatives were a few minor canned questions, yet were directed to benefit the audience or perhaps provide additional entertainment.
Over-all Take: This video touched home numerous times throughout the entire production. Many of the feelings incurred are more personal than I care to divulge. I personally relish the opportunity to meet Steve Gorr and his friends as well as share in the treasures which the traditional way has brought them. Pure Bowhunting is not only special but provides a much deeper contribution to the family of the traditional
Yes, it is a wonderful world we share.
Rating: The video has personally earned "FIVE STAR's"

I believe your review accurately portrays what Mr. Gorr was trying to convey. Steve is an outstanding hunter and gentleman who just happens to use a trad bow exclusively.
He was winning archery events and taking record-book critters before a lot of us were born. His dvd's are certainly a labor of love. I believe the only thing he loves more than hunting and filming is family, God, and country.

I have been in contact with Steve and over the past few months we have shared a few phone conversations. I enjoy those talks much and he really had me looking forward to this new DVD.
Nice write up Scott. I agree with you review,well done. Steve has a passion for what he does and he has a group of friends that are as giddy and real as he is to do this thing we call Trad hunting. The filming is done with good taste and the animals and countryside is Sooooo wonderful. It sure is fun to watch and I look forward to the day I could share a fire with Steve and his buddies. Steves first DVD was great and this one is at least that good. It is what real bowhunting is all about. Now if he would just make a shooting DVD so I can learn to shoot like he does......
Get the DVD from Steve,it is worth a watch.

Steve's sententious contribution to the traditional world has found a conspicuous place in the hearts of many and will well be bestowed upon the masses of tomorrow.
Please be assured that if this old hound dog cuts his track, I will run it until he has either been bayed or treed. Hopefully, I will cut the track once he has amply fed his fill. My legs too, are getting weary

Had the fortuitous opportunity to view “Bowhunting Reflections” for the first time. Apply titled, since I was repetitively awakened to the fact that I wasn’t actually talking to myself and not actually sharing camp with these special comrades. I was aroused periodically from my hypnotic state and drawn back to reality due to the vivid footage exceeding my own limited reflections.
*****Perhaps sanity is over-rated. *****
By the waking of my traditional heart, by the stirring of my traditional soul, the traditional spirit of “Bowhunting Reflections” abides while serving to call the traditional family to this sacred camp.
Once again, a splendid production which captures the mystique of traditional bowhunting and the treasures it so freely relinquishes - A complementary, endearing, yet flowing prequel to “Pure Bowhunting”.

Bought em both after learning of them here. They arrived in just 3-4 days and I only had to pay shpping for one. I've watched both and loved them.
The close-up wildlife footage is great, especially for the Roosevelt Elk.
