Great to have a wife who shares the same interest for archery. I can see her enthusiasm on what your doing. Have a great life and stay safe. Mabuhay from the Philippines!!!
you all prolly dont care but does any of you know a method to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb forgot the account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me
These are good informative videos for people that want to learn, I started watching your channel to see your Barebow progress but now I will be just as interested to see Heather's progress as well!
Today I just built my first set of customs arrows for myself. The mental picture of me channeling my inner Jake Kaminski makes me just giggle. Can’t wait to try them out tomorrow! Haha
I have built an home made arrow cutter using Dremel with a very thin Rotary cutting wheel for under $20. It works fine for my purposes and could be a suggestion for whom cannot afford the cost of a professional arrow cutter.
Thank you for making me feel even batter about using pin nocks. No ears to break and I just press the whole thing into a block of wood with no worries. Great video. I love the Pro-Am aspect for better explanations.
LOVE that I have found your channel and this series you're doing right now! I'm shooting recurve at a novice level just a couple pounds under where Heather is at, for about the last 5 months. This (and the previous video) are incredibly valuable! Can't wait to see what's next in the series!
Another great video Heather! As a novice archer myself it's great to have Jake cover the basics. Will it soon be time for "Hi and welcome to the Heather Kaminski channel"?
When having problem installing push-in nocks, I use an arrow puller to give better grip on the shaft. On one type of shafts the fit was so tight the arrow puller didn't give me enough grip, so I used a one-handed clamp that had v-cavities in the bars to hold the shafts (of course tighten the bar gently to not damage the shaft)
Great video, well done and super informative... teacher/student dynamic is great for taking the audience at all levels along for the information. Also just used your amazon affiliate link to pick up the arrow saw... been meaning to get one for a while now, but being able to do it while also supporting the channel was enough extra incentive to finally pull the trigger.
Two hundred and some might come easy for but for me it's not I've used the little brake line cutter for my arrows and it done fine for I always flex my arrows while I'm practicing to check for cracking but I guess it all comes down to what ever works for the person
If you don't have an arrow saw, some options for you: •See if your local club or range has one that you can use or rent time on. I know mine has an arrow saw, fletching jig, and other tools that club members can use as part of their membership. •Have them cut when you order them. This does make it harder to adjust arrow length when tuning, but Lancaster and other reputable online dealers offer cutting services for a small cost. •Have your local shop cut them. Possibly expensive, but not prohibitively so. My local shop cuts arrows you buy from them for free and charges for arrows purchased elsewhere. •Have them cut at a local sporting goods store. This is kind of a last resort choice, as you don't know how much the person doing it knows what they're doing. I'd bring a tape measure and check that everything is square and even before leaving. Often cheaper than an archery shop, but less reliable. On straightness and cutting: Some archers swear by (on parallel shafts) cutting from front and back get the straightest results. On arrows with wide tolerances, this may be worth doing. Although if you need to be that picky, I don't really know why you'd buy arrows with wide tolerances in the first place?
To your last point, you would ideally want to find the straightest section of the arrow that you need. IE if your arrow length is 26" and the raw shafts are 29" you may want to only cut 1" from one end and 2" from another on one arrow and 3" from one end on another arrow.... different for each arrow to find the straightest section. But that way too above the purpose to this video.
Great video. “I AM”. Is that your hand I see on page #282 in Total Archery? I am hoping watching your videos will encourage my wife to get involved. The way in which you approach the subjects, and the interaction with your wife, create an enjoyable learning environment.
Don't know if someone mentioned it in another comment but the grain firm of measurement comes from the mediaeval period. The weight of a grain is a single grain of barley... 😁
It depends where the bent area is, find the straightest section of arrow length you need and chop that out..... but that's way too advanced for the purposes of this video.
I'm probably late to the party here but the simple answer is that the only safe way to cut a carbon arrow is friction cutting using some sort of high speed grinding wheel designed for cutting.
how to measure he SPINE after cut the arrow, for example originally easton inspire spine 750 with 29,5 inch length, then we cut it 1 inch so become 28.5 length, so how much is the SPINE after cut
The spine is always the spine. A 750 spine arrow is always 750. This is because spine is measured when a 2 lb weight is hung from the center of the arrow with supports 28" apart. even if you shorten an arrow it is always the same spine. It acts stiffer as you cut it but the spine itself does not change.
If you have old damaged arrows would it be ok to cut them way back and make crossbow arrows out of them? ( assuming that would remove the damaged section?)
Oh, also, my 25 year old daughter wants to start recurve archery. She is rather frail and not " standard strength" for someone her age and size. What draw weight would you recommend to start? Love your videos!
@@Voxguitarsrock my girlfriend started with 18 pounds (marked 22, but 26" draw instead of 28"). Your best bet is to go to a range or club and have her try a few different bows (most ranges have bows between 14 and 26# available to rent for open shooting).
In my experience, it's not so much about scoring as it is about grouping. If you can shoot about a 10cm group at 18m, then that's consistent enough to see how far out your bare-shaft lands. At 30m, I'd say a 15-20cm group is enough to bareshaft. But if you can't shoot a group, you can't really tune.
@@JakeKaminskiArchery What about A/C/E screw-in points ? . . . . . . but really, this video is for beginners, so perhaps not best to discuss screw-in points ?
Why don't you just drill a hole in a block of wood and bolt it to your bench so you.can push the arrow nock into the arrow shaft in the hole? That way the shaft can't slip and you don't break an arrow?
Just look up pictures of carbon arrows that exploded while being shot. There are tons of people that had them splinter and spear their hands with hundreds of splinters. Not pretty
She's fully grown and her form is +/- .25-.5" from optimal. Check out the previous video th-cam.com/video/MWufh66upzw/w-d-xo.html to see how we cut her arrows about 2" longer then ideal to plan for draw weight growth.
It's great to have Heather there asking the questions that a new archer would ask. Great video as always.
It is great to have Heather on to ask the questions and bring up points that a beginner, such as myself, would ask. Thank you.

7000 grains per pound ;-) old black powder (gun powder) measurement. love the videos
I just ordered a dozen of Avance arrows. Then you uploaded the video :) Thank you

Yeah pin nocks are great.
This is just good all around info for noobs and advanced arrow builders! You can always learn something new with an open mind!

Great videos keep it up lol. you've single handedly improved my archery by alot.
Jake. One of your best vids.
Thanks.
I'm one of the guys who made an arrow saw using a rotary tool and aluminum angle & channel. A dedicated saw is SOOOOOO much easier to use.
To answer her question at 21:30 is you would taper the inside on the shaft with a deep six grind stone works great and you will find a more exact fit
Great video, well done and super informative... teacher/student dynamic is great for taking the audience at all levels along for the information.

Like the instruction about the saw
If you don't have an arrow saw, some options for you:
•See if your local club or range has one that you can use or rent time on. I know mine has an arrow saw, fletching jig, and other tools that club members can use as part of their membership.
•Have them cut when you order them. This does make it harder to adjust arrow length when tuning, but Lancaster and other reputable online dealers offer cutting services for a small cost.

I use a high end Heat Gun for Point installation.
I wanted to make 34" or 35 " aluminum arrows to use with my 2nd gen compound bare bows. Suggestions ?that
Don't know if someone mentioned it in another comment but the grain firm of measurement comes from the mediaeval period. The weight of a grain is a single grain of barley... 😁
Good to know!
How did you choose the correct back and point of the arrow? Thanks
the easton arrow saw is already out of stock when i checked your link... damn!!! haha
I'll post another link, they offer another kind without the dust collection hood
@@JakeKaminskiArchery thanks so much. awaiting your link hehe
If using the better asymmetrical nocks , shall I still rotate the arrow ?thanks
For .006 I usually cut an equal amount off both ends. I'm sure other folks already know this but thought I'd throw it out there.
It depends where the bent area is, find the straightest section of arrow length you need and chop that out..... but that's way too advanced for the purposes of this video.
@@JakeKaminskiArchery Thanks.
Jake, Why carbon rather than aluminum for newbies, considering the carbon dust, carbon splinters, etc?
Sometimes, I put a drop of oil on the nock because they are too tight to rotate in the future!!
I'm probably late to the party here but the simple answer is that the only safe way to cut a carbon arrow is friction cutting using some sort of high speed grinding wheel designed for cutting.
Use a "grippy" rubber glove on the shaft hand and it's much easier to insert the nocks.
still make indepth videos too because u a fountain of great information , maybe just shoot a companion basic to the point videos short and sweet
how to measure he SPINE after cut the arrow, for example originally easton inspire spine 750 with 29,5 inch length, then we cut it 1 inch so become 28.5 length, so how much is the SPINE after cut
The spine is always the spine. A 750 spine arrow is always 750. This is because spine is measured when a 2 lb weight is hung from the center of the arrow with supports 28" apart. even if you shorten an arrow it is always the same spine. It acts stiffer as you cut it but the spine itself does not change.
I see a lot about squaring the ends of an arrow nowadays, is this really necessary?
With broad heads.... Yes. Otherwise Eh.
If you have old damaged arrows would it be ok to cut them way back and make crossbow arrows out of them? ( assuming that would remove the damaged section?)
If they are the right size and spine I wouldn't see why not. However, I know basically zero about crossbows so take that with a grain of sand.
Oh, also, my 25 year old daughter wants to start recurve archery.
She is rather frail and not " standard strength" for someone her age and size. What draw weight would you recommend to start?
Love your videos!

What score do need to shoot in the WA 18 meter round before you can tune bare shaft?
In my experience, it's not so much about scoring as it is about grouping. If you can shoot about a 10cm group at 18m, then that's consistent enough to see how far out your bare-shaft lands. At 30m, I'd say a 15-20cm group is enough to bareshaft. But if you can't shoot a group, you can't really tune.
InFV, thank you, helpful advice!
12:20 Won't 'screw in points' be easier option?
Yes, but they aren't available for these small shafts.
@@JakeKaminskiArchery What about A/C/E screw-in points ? . . . . . . but really, this video is for beginners, so perhaps not best to discuss screw-in points ?
i started shooting from 60lb bow and 55lb arrows
You should make some Signature Jake kaminski arrows and sell them online.
Hi guys. 7000 grain is one pound.
Probably been answered already but 1 grain is 1/7000th of a pound.
130 grains is about 8.4 grams
There are 7000 grains to a pound. So one grain = 1/7000 of a pound.
Why don't you just drill a hole in a block of wood and bolt it to your bench so you.can push the arrow nock into the arrow shaft in the hole? That way the shaft can't slip and you don't break an arrow?
🥰🥰🥰

arrows go brrrrr
You can use a Dremel, Stop the cap
Chuck Norris cuts them with he’s teeth.
The 1st arrow is bent
Why cut the arrows to length for a new archer ? Her draw length will increase as she shoots wont it.
She's fully grown and her form is +/- .25-.5" from optimal. Check out the previous video th-cam.com/video/MWufh66upzw/w-d-xo.html to see how we cut her arrows about 2" longer then ideal to plan for draw weight growth.
@@JakeKaminskiArchery Cool.
Point on distance. Longer arrows give a shorter point on. If she wants to shoot 50m with a low draw weight, she'll need a shorter arrow.
:D
I vill giv me sir
little bit of mansplaining over ehat a grain is. Actually a gram is 16 grains. Jake actually doesn't know that.
I'm being shown some really weird recommendations for these videos. Do you have "equality" or "women" in the tags? ='D
No I don't. Odd though.
Hi Jake. Just one thing!! Stop calling Heather 'She'', ''her''. The lady is your wife and her name is Heather!!
