Thanks guys...I usually post a "Season highlights" for the Baker family each year, but decided to try something different this year. After working on the "Journey of Challenge" video project that PBS put out last year, it became apparent to me that video is really the way to reach new folks and project a positive image of what we do to the public. It's not too hard to do it, and it's what we need to do to safeguard our opportunities...so I do have a bit of an agenda beyond documenting my own memories. I just dived into this stuff a bit, again, with relatively few tools other than what I already had.
The bows from this season are all osage selfbows built by ourselves. These particular bows this year (we do new ones almost every year) are all from the same stave...pretty cool! They range from mid-sixties to almost 80 pounds for my son's bow...he likes them heavy. All cedar arrows. In part two, there is another young man I taught to build bows that is toting his own creation. I have part two done....and there will be a part three, and maybe more. I have a lot of footage.
If kill shots are what you want to see, they won't appear on my videos, but plenty of just plain hunting and building bow footage. There are some "trophy's" for all of us, though.
