Having been alive when Fred Bear was still making his archery equipment, and watching his television series, this was a huge surprise to find, and I got it for my husband and I to watch and reminisce about. We still have our early Bear Archery Bows, and every once and awhile will we find a bow at a garage sale, and we snap it up since most people haven't a clue who Fred was or what they have in their possession. Some of the videos are a little degraded from time, but you can still see some amazing archery skills and great hunting scenes. What we really loved about this set of DVDs was that they had interviewed Fred just 2 years before he passed in 1988 and his interviews are at the end of each series. Just a nostalgic ride through a time when things happened a little slower, and every adventure seemed bigger.

These DVDs are great capturing Fred Bear that is fines and good quality DVD image.

Well done DVD delivered quickly.

This is a awesome DVD set of the father of bow hunting. Traditional Bowhunter's will find this set especially appealing and enjoyable of days gone bye when everybody hunted with a long bow or a recurve. Traditional Archery is on the rise for many again and many folks like myself are even buying, collecting and/or hunting with these original Bear Archery recurve and long bows today. It's great fun using the KISS principle of a simple set up, virtually nothing to go wrong with a bow sure of breaking the bow and a half or breaking a string which is easily replaced in mInutes. These movies are educationsl, enjoyable to watch and motivate you to emulate Fred 'Pappa' Bear' - a great man that devoted his life to archery and bowhunting that we know today.

What an unbelievable deal. All of the old vintage Fred Bear movies all included in one DVD set. I had many of these old individual movies on VHS tapes, but they have deteriorated over the years and most are unwatchable now with either the sound or picture disappearing. So when I saw this DVD set, I had to buy it. I don't believe these were digitally remastered in any way. The picture and sound quality looks just like the old film movies, but that is OK with me, it has kept the old vintage feel to these treasures. They are definitely a step back in time quality wise, but that's what makes them so cool.When I think of archery and bow hunting, I automatically think of Fred Bear. I remember as a very small boy watching some of the old Fred Bear movies on TV, I believe they were on Curt Gowdy and Grits Gresham's The American Sportsman show. There was even an episode with Fess Parker, the old Disney Daniel Boone character hunting grizzly bear with Fred. When I started to play these old movies, it catapulted me back to a simpler time in life.Fred Bear was responsible for instilling in me the love of traditional archery, hunting, conservation and sportsmanship. I have been shooting traditional archery for 43 years because of Fred Bear. I highly recommend this DVD set.Thank you for the memories Fred Bear.
