Bushman Brooks Premiere screening and DVD launch

Bushman Brooks - Hunting The High Country is a new Aussie adventure featuring a classic Aussie character, Dave ‘Bushman’ Brooks.

This is like no other hunting video you have ever seen. It is not just another “shoot and kill” movie, but a weekend away in the Australian bush. Bushman Brooks takes you off the beaten track to show you how a real bowhunter tracks and stalks feral goats.

Bushman Brooks shares his knowledge, experience and skills in animal tracking, camouflage, stalking, bush tucker, survival and fire lighting and gives you an insight into what he loves about bowhunting and what it takes to be a good hunter.

12 months ago two best friends, Dave Brooks and Dave Eggins, began producing an Australian Bowhunting DVD. ‘We hadn't seen a quality hunting video come out of Australia, so we thought, why don't we just make one?’ says producer Dave Eggins. The duo received a positive response from a pilot DVD and so rose the bar to make this full-length feature.

Dave Eggins only has high praise for his mate, ‘he's not Steve Irwin, the Bush Tucker Man or Crocodile Dundee… he'’s a bit of all of those, he's Bushman Brooks. I knew that my skills in film, sound and music would be able to showcase Dave's skills in the bush’. Dave Eggins filmed and edited the video as well as wrote and recorded the soundtrack.

Dave Brooks is a skilled and ethical hunter and has achieved outstanding results in 3D archery competitions. The DVD encourages bowhunters to hone their skills in an effort make one shot count every time. ‘If you are going to be a bowhunter, put the hard yards in, and make sure you've got the accuracy to back yourself up’.

Dave Brooks has been bowhunting for 16 years and never gets tired of it. ‘It's a way of life for me, it's not a fad, it's not a hobby, it's just something I've got to do to survive, I reckon’ says Dave.

Tony Garland, experienced hunter, shooter and firearms dealer, theatrical armourer, special effects technician to film, television & stage and owner of The Stockade Firearms Dealership says of Bushman Brooks - Hunting The High Country, ‘I was impressed with the quality and wealth of information presented by Dave. The DVD is informative not just to bowhunters but for all hunters. This DVD is a handy reference manual for all would be hunters and experienced hunters alike. I look forward to the next installment in the series. Congratulations on a professional presentation, which will appeal to all levels of hunters’.

Bushman Brooks will appeal to bowhunters, shooters, 4WD enthusiasts and anyone who loves an adventure. The DVD is for sale for $25 and purchases can be arranged via email bushmanbrooks@hotmail.com

The Sydney launch will be held on Friday 27 October, 22 Howard Avenue, Dee Why at 7.30pm. The Kyogle launch will be held on Saturday 25 November at the Commercial Hotel, Kyogle at 7pm.
