Hunting the Bamboo Backed Bow
« on: March 07, 2010, 06:28:23 pm »
I've been eyeing this DVD for awhile now and before I throw my money down I was wondering if any of you have purchased this dvd and what you thought of it.  Is it worth the money?

Check out Stim Wilcox, The art of making selfbows.  Lots of great information and well written so it is understandable

Yes Nate it is a great video. I have it on VHS, but haven't watched it for years. If I can find it I will send it to you.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

I like the DVD.   I have watched it many times, but really don't get out of it what I wanted.  I wanted more technical detail.  Like watching him tiller. 

I would buy it again.  Dean is a top notch guy.  You can learn more by reading his book and buying his insert/pamplet about his tiller technique.

As far as his book does it cover the subject matter of Bamboo backed bows?  I'm sure there is other information I could gain but I'm looking specifically for BB info.

I have the book Hunting the Osage Bow...but not one on hunting a bamboo backed bow.  If you want the book on Hunting the Osage bow just send me a PM and I will send it to you.  I still owe Bob a knife for this book....just ran across the project in my garage which reminded me that I havent completed my end of the transaction.  SORRY BOB it will be coming soon.

Excellent video.  It takes you from A to Z in bamboo backed bows.  The only thing omitted in detail is tillering, which is covered extensively in HOB.
