I love you dad. You have been thru more than anybody I know. You’ve taught so much and I’m happy that you are finally able to put out your story. Love you!
Jacob Farmer This story really makes you think. I appreciate his honesty, service, and sacrifice. I also appreciate the sacrifice you and the rest of the family made and am sorry for the difficult times. I don't think the families hear that as often as they should. I hope things have been reconciled and the time lost is being made up now. Respect and regards to all involved.
Thank you, Jacob, for sharing your thoughts about how much your dad means to you, and just know he truly is an inspiration to us all. Many continued blessings to you and your family!
Jacob your dad is a hero, he is an amazing guy, from what i watch he has been through a lot. I am glad he choose bow hunting. Hunting gives you time to think, relax and just talk to God. Your dad is awesome to share his story. I am very glad he never went all the way and pulled the trigger. That shows he cared for you and your brother and he is one tough guy.
Jacob- Your Dad is a true hero both on and off the battlefield. I have a picture of him and me in California and at my wedding. I`m proud to call him my brother and the man that saved me from my demons. I know he is has always talked highly of you. This film is an awesome testament to a wonderful man that has done a lot for his country and fellow battles. I hope you guys are well and always in my thoughts and prayers!!
Jacob Farmer Bless you and your Father buddy a true Warrior indeed, him and his Brothers.
Great video Sitka. What a story of finding peace.
Thank you Cabela's
Thank you for this video and for all that your brothers in arms have done for our country. Keep finding peace.
Fuck Cabelas, some of us made you and you threw us away but you executives made millions. 🖕🏻

Ahhhh, I think not.
Welcome home, Master Sergeant. Welcome home.
And thank you, Sitka.
I am taking a moment to say, "Thank you!"! I hadn't pulled a trigger since I left the Corps in 1997! This is how I have felt for a very long time and was not even aware that there were options until hunting last year with a friend from HS and his Army buddies. My wife stated that I am most tranquil after being out with Veterans hunting.
I have considered hunting but couldn't find a viable solution because I still can’t put rounds down range without seeing those I “missed”. What hunting solution would work best for a person who couldn't "walk in the woods" without "wondering why that leaf is flipped or that branch is broken"? "How much noise am I making? Have I to lead and be security? This is mentally draining, and I can't enjoy and be in the moment while taking a simple walk! Bow hunting has been that refuge for me.
I fully understand why this video has impacted so many people "just look at the comments"! Thank you, name withheld, for showing me the road… Thank you, Barry of Newbury Archery, for getting me on the road. And thank you, Sitka Gear, for keeping me on the road! I am sure I speak for many when I say, thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!!
1. MSG, thank you for your service and numerous sacrifices. We are a better nation because of you and your brothers. 2. Thank you to Sitka for valuing a true hero. 3. There is an entire universe of big budget film work that can't hold a candle to this masterpiece. It's impeccable.
Thank you for the kind words Chris
This is more than a hunting video from a hunting company. This is a real story about a true American hero and his struggle. Tastefully done video.
Did 11 years in the marines myself. Pulling the trigger is the easy part, losing friends is the hard part, I don't wish war upon anyone. Semper Fi man
Thank You Bobby for your service and sacrifice for The United States of America! Home of the Free because of men like you and your Brothers!!! Peace...
That was amazing. Thank you Bobby Farmer for your incredible sacrifices, I pray that you continue to find peace in the outdoors for many years to come. If you’re ever lost and find yourself in New York look me up. I’ll have a treestand already for ya.
Archery is absolutely my therapy. Bow hunting is my passion in life.
Love & Respect... Thank you for telling your story sir & Sitka for a great outdoor channel. Peace from Nor. Minnesota. God Bless you, DB.
I can defiantly relate in some way to what you are saying in this video brother, former British soldier having served in Afghanistan and now settling in New Zealand, the idea of getting out in the bush and hunting is something that will re introduce me to something I was half good at previously, keep fighting the good fight
Very powerful message. Prey for all our warriors to find peace.
The will of a true warrior. Thank you is not enough brother. God bless you and your family.
Thank you for sharing your story, your time, your health, and most importantly thank you for your service.... on the backs of men like you we live in the best country in the world. I am glad you found your place of peace.
Need more of these! God bless the men and women that fight for us
God bless him, for staying here for his kids,,,,,,,,,thank you for your service...... go hunt
MSG. Farmer Thank you for everything you and your brothers have done for this country. You have been through so much of what I have watched. I feel sorry for you. I also want to say you are a very strong man for not pulling that trigger. You are one of few that could pull through and not do it. Sitka filmed this to a T. I am happy to hear you have found peace in bowhunting and hopefully some peace to mind. Continue to do great thing. Sitka thank you for the amazing film. You guys put the message super clear. For every shot there was, there was a reason for it. No other film crew could have pulled this off. MSG.Farmer thank you for your service and God Bless.
Who would dislike this.... Thank you for your service brother, and may peace be with the rest of your journey...
To Bobby and all who have served, thank you for defending our freedom. Glad you have some peace in your life, but may also you find eternal peace through Jesus Christ. "And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven." Colossians 1:20
Wow. No words can sum up the appreciation, just thank you. This makes me think of my brother who is one BADASS dude, he turned to bow hunting too. you should be damn proud Sir, just like I am of my bro.
No matter how bad a day I’m having I could watch this and it brings me back to center amazing job ! Thank you for your service Sergeant Farmer. And welcome back to life.
Thank you for your service brother...and the courage to tell this story, your a hero to us all man! Thank you!
Absolutely fantastic! Bobby, you have an open invitation to come hunt NE Iowa whenever you’d like.
Awesome video to pay respect to very brave servicemen! Thank you for your service and sacrifice Bobby. I hope you're able to continue to find healing in the outdoors with a stick and a bow in your hands. God Bless!
This was amazing. The film work, the story, everything. Very inspirational, my favorite part was the after shot. Thank you for your service Bobby.

A moving story. Thank you for your service and Godspeed to you and yours.

Bravery can come in many forms but the willingness to open up and share your experience on how you are learning to adjust/cope in a different chapter of life tells the story in its self just how brave you really are thank you for this film but most importantly Thank You For Your Service, Master Sergeant Farmer. And thank you as well Sitka you have earned a new and loyal costumer I know that's not what was intended but that's what you got!
I think this story will be life changing for all who watch it. I know it has been for me! Awesome film!
What an incredible story!!! I have a nephew that is in a very similar situation and hunting and the outdoors has done a wonder for him as well. Great great film, thank you for putting it out. This story needs to be shared!!!! And thank you service men for all you do and have done for me and all of us.
Amazing video and story. Thank you for your service and the sacrifices made. You touched on something that I have found to be so true...processing the day while walking to grab the arrows...absolutely true! I can shoot for hours in my yard and the madness from the day filters out and drifts away in the breeze. I wish you all the best for the rest of your hunts !
Watching this on August 28, 2020. Master Sergeant Farmer and your family, THANK YOU. God's blessings and all his love, Shalom.
Beautifully shot and told story. We could use a lot more openness where healing and hurt is concerned in this world. Thank you!
Support companies that produce this quality content..thanks Sitka
Thank you brother for sharing your story! As a veteran dealing with my own demons I can relate.
Bobby, Thank You for your service and for the story of your past and the encouragement of your future! Thank You Sitka Gear for sharing!
Amazing story or triumph! Thank you for your service and sacrifice.
Great video made me very emotional! Thank you for your service. People that do not understand or criticize hunting should watch this video. My 15 year old daughter loves and respects everything about hunting.
God bless and thank you for your service.
Thank you for your service, and God bless you and your family.
Thank you for your services and sacrifices.
Thank you for your service, Master Sergeant.
Just incredible. Sitka has once again outdone themselves. Well done, and to Master Sergeant Farmer - our sincerest thanks for your service to our great country. God Bless You.

Thank you for sharing this with the Sitka community. Powerful message.
Thanks for your service and sharing the story Bobby. Great job to Brad for conveying the story. Well done Sitka!
Great story on the journey to finding peace! I have found no better healer than the great outdoors! God Bless you for your strength to allow the cameras to see the real, raw truth of it all. Thank YOU for your service & sacrifice!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great story, SITKA and Bobby, being able to show our vulnerable side is a sign of strength. Thank You for your Service🇺🇸
Bobby, you are an inspiration. I was deeply moved to listen to you last night at Texas Wild. Keep doing what you are doing.
Thank you for your service! Sitka is putting out some of the best content on the web right now!
What a AMAZING video of an AMAZING story. As a veteran, I can relate to this. Sitka... you've made me a fan.
Master Sergeant Bobby thank you for your service and sacrifice for our country and honestly for the world. It is great to see you in a stand where all hunters would agree it brings peace of mind to your soul. in a world of social media and division the love of the outdoors unites men and women like no other thing in this world. For those that have never done it they will never understand the bond we all have with one another. Echoing others your bravery on the battlefield shares with it the same bravery you have shown in overcoming the tragedy you had to personally witness and take part of during your time in and after the Military. Many in our country simply do not appreciate what you along with the other dedicated Men and Women of the Military have done for our country since the 1st shots rang out during the Declaration of Independence for the creation of the United States of America. Simply the greatest country this world or others will have ever seen or know. As an American there simply is nothing we can do great enough to express our heartfelt thanks to you. May God Bless you and all your fellow Military brothers and sisters.
Being a Marine Corp Vet I am crying for this hero, his family and his brothers to left and right of him. Best video I have ever watched!
Just bought 2k in gear...thanks Sitka!
Very hart felt video. Jacob you have a very awesome dad. We have a awesome hero that sacrificed everything for our freedom and we have a awesome fellow hunter. Thank you Bobby
Thank you SITKA, and thank you Bobby.
Mad respect MSG. You have more brothers than you even know.
Amazing message! Well done! Hope and pray this helps a lot of our veterans out there
Thank you Bobby, I appreciate you and your story. Thank you for your service!
Thats why Sitka is on top. Great visuals along with a Great story, Thank you.
Hunting is the source brother. The solitude, the brisk clean air, alone in the woods with just you & the animals, it just seems to cleanse body and soul. Find it & feel it whenever and wherever you can. Some of the best hunts I’ve ever had I didn’t even come home with an animal, just the experience/memories either solo or with family or a good friend make hunting some of the best therapy one can get. The feeling you get when out in the wilderness and “On the hunt” just seem to make all of life‘s mistakes and daily pressures melt away. For me hunting is so much more than just hiking or camping, I just feel more connected when I hunt, no other activity does that for me. You feel connected to the whole earth, the cycle of things when you hunt. Only hunters know this because you have to experience it to feel it.
So good, just a great piece of cinema. Thank you.
Sitka Gear. Awesome for opening others eyes to this and how the bow and getting out can provide healing to some. My best friend is an EOD bubba and almost the same thing happened to him when I took him out. He enjoyed it.
Thank you for your service.
Love this story. Thank you for sharing and thank you for your service.
Thank you for the kind words.
This was a true honor to watch. Truly brilliant work done by all. One of the best films ever released in the hunting industry. Truly inspiring.Thank you to all that serve this country, especially the ones who endure heartache and pain as a result. Always in my thoughts! Once again, job well done by all involved and thank you Bobby for telling your story! Hope to see more!
When I speak about archery, I always add "For lack of a better word", and then use the word "spiritual". I keep doing this for various reasons, like to not offend anyone who might attribute spirituality to only religion. But the fact is that archery is a spiritual experience for me. Good to see another human being connect with archery in a similar way.
Sgt Thanks for your service and most importantly your message! Mother Nature has a power that changes us individually in a different but profound way! The great outdoors is something people take for granted and if we as a society don't recognize that it is being infringed on, it will be too late! P.S. congrats on a nice buck!!!
Thank you, Bobby, for your service and sacrifice, and glad you found peace in your own way thru reconnection with nature and your family/teammates. Thanks also to Sitka for sharing this inspiring video of courage and determination. Much respect to all!
Thanks for sharing this in time for Veteran's Day.
Nothing but love for this hero.
One of the most moving films I have ever watched. Thanks to Sgt. Bobby Farmer for sharing his thoughts and feelings with us, and giving us insight into the life of our veterans who give so much, so that we can be free. My prayers are with our veterans daily. God bless you.
Powerful. Thank you for this
Top-tier cinematography.
God bless you I’am very happy you found your peace,!!! My peace horse back riding
I can relate, nothing in life is more therapeutic than bow hunting for me. Thanks for sharing. I was just an ordinary 11B grunt nothing special and was so used to being fucked over and treated like shit and getting the worst bullshit frustrating missions that I almost lost it until I got back into hunting after 12 years of missing it. Up in a tree is the only place I feel normal.
God Bless you Sgt. Farmer!
Holy shit........ that was..... I’m crying
Beautiful film. Thank you for your service bobby.

Thanks for putting out a great story. I relate to this so much. Last year the bow got me back in the woods and finally got some peace in my life.
Thank you Sitka for another excellent video and thank you bobby most of all for your service
Wow, that was an amazing story! Thank you for your service and to the production team that put this together.
Wow what a great film. With a powerful moving story! Only hunters will understand that bond with nature, and I am sure veterans will only understand the pain of war.
Awesome video... thank you Bobby and to all those before you and after!
Amazing film guy honestly really touched me thank you for all the men that serve ! And have served !! God bless all of you
