...a video monster.  I've always liked photography, but I had a blast this past season playing with video.   Now, keep in mind I am a real amateur here....just the editing software from Windows, a GoPro, and a Nikon Coolpix camera.   I have to say, though, for a first try at video, it's come out pretty good.....

You guys are a pretty friendly audience, though, so here's a first look....more parts to come.

Well, for your debut you did a heck of a job. Can't wait to see more, very well done   :notworthy:    :clapper:
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Pretty cool! I enjoyed the video can't wait for part two.
Tell us a little about the bows design it looked like they really zip an arrow.

If that is your first try at video production I can't wait to see what happens when you become proficient!!!

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.

Great job Mark, I was able to get parts 1 & 2.  You really got me thinking about trying my hand at making a self bow!!

Great Sean...just got Part two uploaded awhile ago.   It will be a couple days before part 3 though....

Selfbows are certainly addicting, and not as hard as you may think....just got to wrap your mind around the idea!

Great video! The scene of the river bottom with the mountains in the background was amazing.

Saw parts 1 and 2.  I love the videos.  Every time my grandson and I go somewhere to together he puts your CD into play especially -"Feathers thru the wind" .  Looking forward to more.

I use Tim Roberts Absorkee Quiver, which is modeled after my Quiver Caddy/Kwikee outfit that I have used for decades now (and my son Kory and his friend "Cheese" still use).   Tim has FarrWest Leather and is a sponsor here.....great product!

I just watched the double feature.  Inspiring.

Thank you.
