The History of the Bow series is amazing! Thank you Matt and Gene for making these available to all of us!

Enjoy the shooting videos, but this history info is the best.

The genocide of the Native Americans is a terrible atrocity. And it just kept happening. Imagine a world without the genocide and theft. So much life and knowledge was lost to hatred and greed. 500 years of apocalypse.  This is a powerful video, thank you, Matt and Gene.

Ishi was such an incredible human.

Wow that was truly awesome! Thank you Gene and Matt

So dang good Matt and Gene!!!  Keep up the good work on this series.

I first heard about Ishi back in 1973 in the book Hunting with the Bow and arrow by Saxton Pope.  Awesome book!

What an awesome episode! Thank you Matt and Gene! I enjoy listening to the history of the bow on my travels to and from work. Hearing this history makes me want to shoot my bow and share archery even more!

Great to get this information out there. I always knew Ishi's tribe had it tough when Europeans encountered them, but I never knew just HOW tough. Yikes.

Awesome series!!!!

I would really enjoy an episode on Paul Schafer. The stories of him and the reading of the interview that yall did in an early podcast got me more motivated and inspired than anything else.

An episode on the myth and lore of Robin Hood would be awesome too, cuz tbh the tale of Robin Hood was probably everyone’s first time hearing of archery as children.

The story of the concealment period makes me think of the movie,  "Last of the Dogmen."

These are great videos. Gene has a Small Munsterlander puppy too!  I had one for 15 years

The foundation has been poured for a truly great series that may last for years if all parties truly want to get chest deep into archery. From Ishi to the modern day bow, this may truly become astonishing. Wonderful and thank you gentlemen.

That was one of the best documentaries I’ve ever heard so cool

Thank you so much guys. Really enjoying this series!!! Hope to meet you at Kalamazoo

Story of Ishi starts at around 1 hour in. Bow talk starts 1 hour 25 minutes.

Great video matt , I am becoming an archery nerd thanks to you 😂

I am from vina California at the base of deer creek canyon. my whole family has spent countless hours in Deer creek canyon.
Spread many family members ashes out there.😢

I've been to all the caves in deer creek seen the artifacts. Hunted piles of deer and in all that time i never put the Pope and Young thing together. That's absolutely awesome

But let's get one thing straight people in vina ( Benton city back then ) knew the Indians were there. And when the surveyors came back to vina with all the stolen stuff everyone in vina told them to take it back. And they did but the camp had been removed.

That was the last sighting of them before ishi showed up in Orroville.

Great video guys
