| Bad Grammer DVD Review by DeWayne Knight Scott Threinen has produced a winner here folks!!! “Bad Grammer” is a 2 DVD set, and an incredible value for the money. The first thing you will find out when you start watching the “Bad Grammer” DVD is that Scott isn’t some “Prima Donna” who puts himself up on a pedestal. I don’t want to spoil it, but in the intro, he and Craig Roseneau goof around in a spoof of the sound and frame check which I found very entertaining. You can tell that Scott likes to have fun and doesn’t have the problem of taking himself TOO seriously. Once Scott gets to the actual “instruction”, he is all business, but still his delivery and commentary are very entertaining. His philosophy is all his own, and he presents it in a matter of fact way that leaves you thinking to yourself: “that REALLY makes sense! Scott starts the instruction of “Bad Grammer” with fundamentals. He begins with a general discussion of goose calls, including choosing the call itself, as well as the material the call is made from. Next he moves into the fundamentals of holding the call, how to put the call to your mouth, your tongue position, your air presentation, etc. Scott goes into a TON of detail with his verbal description, and I personally feel the camera work showing everything is AWESOME! Each and every part is shown in great detail and very close up. As the saying says: “a picture is worth a thousand words”. Video has to be worth tens of thousands of words. Scott then goes into the individual notes, and how to make them. Again the combination of verbal description, with great up close camera work makes for super instruction. Scott covers all the notes I’ve heard of, and even some I haven’t, in “Bad Gammer”. The list of individual notes he goes into detail on the DVD are as follows: The Cluck The Honk The Moan The Double Cluck The Murmur Building Speed The Hiccup The Spit Note The Train And The Gray Eyebrow All of the notes are explained in great detail, including hand position and air presentation, with great visual closeups. A true bonus in my opinion is the actual hunting footage accompanying the note segments, showing the notes being used in the field to harvest geese. Great stuff!!! The last parts of the video consist of some excellent bonus material; “Goose Tips”, “Tuning a Call”, and “Final Thoughts”. “Goose Tips” touches on rhythm, which is extremely important. Scott makes excellent points in sounding like geese, instead of sounding like a human on a goose call. The tuning is very informative, going into very specific detail on the parts of a call, as well as actually putting the call together and making it sound good. All of these segments are extremely valuable. “Bad Grammer” is a MUST HAVE in the arsenal of every goose hunter who wants to become more proficient on a call, and harvest more geese.

| Chasin' The Dream DVD review by DeWayne Knight Todd "Smoke" Alofs and Curt "Shooter" Meppelink have put together an entertaining DVD of waterfowl hunting action, sprinkled with some behind the scenes action any waterfowler is bound to identify with. I really enjoyed the fact that it felt like I was a friend getting the story from another friend, as opposed to a more formal presentation. The DVD consists of five segments. The first four are storylines from hunts in four different locations, including a youth segment I thought was really neat. Getting youths involved in our sport is extremely important for a lot of reasons, and I commend Todd and Curt for making the effort. The final segment is essentially a montage on action that I found very entertaining. It is apparent that "Smoke" and "Shooter" really enjoy all aspects of waterfowling, and they aren't too proud to have fun and joke around a little. The scene where "Smoke" shows his trade secrets of callmaking was funny! All in all, "Chasin The Dream" is an entertaining DVD, produced by a couple of good, down to earth folks who truly enjoy what they do. I recommend it! |
