So good to have these resources. I just bought a second plunger, and I remembered seeing a video from Jake about it. Lo and behold... everything I needed to set it up was in this video 🙌
Glad I came across this video. Was debating between getting the Beiter plunger or AAE Gold Micro Plunger, but got sold on the AAE (thanks for pointing out about the wear on the tip instead of the arrow!). Is there any chance that AAE Gold will come with...a gold color???
Hi Jake. Good stuff as always! What are your thoughts about plunger "maintenance" ? I have a rather cheap plunger (will be working on replacing that) and at some point I was getting left-right inconsistencies, and I noticed some binding or stickiness in the movement,I took it apart , cleaned it up and shoot some WD40 inside the tube, and all of a sudden my groups came together noticeably better. Is that a thing or was I just lucky?
Lucky for now, never use WD-40 on these, with time it will attract dirt and grime and or will gel over time and become sticky again, but WAY worse. No lube is best, but if you must a dry lube like graphite may be okay. Ill do a video for sure on it though.
Hi Jake, has there been more than one version of the AAE micro adjust button you helped develop? I’m considering an upgrade was going to go with Beiter until I found they damage arrow shafts, I have 3 Shibuya DXs I’ve been very happy with, but, would like click adjust for shooting 1440s and York rounds.
@@JakeKaminskiArchery I believe they come with both a Teflon and metal tip. And thus would I be right to say if one were using it, would be to go with the Teflon tip?
I used shibuya plunger for a very long time but switched to beiter somewhat recently and it was the best decision ever. I'm not advertising or anything but the difference in customisation ease and responsiveness is insane. You still need to take money aspect into consideration though.
@@leejohnson3959 I saw others referring the Teflon for aluminum arrows and brass for carbon. I to have been using Teflon on carbon and not finding any major were so far just a black dot in center of plunger but no noticeable concaving of plunger . So good to know I am not the only one .
NEVER HAVE YOUR BACK UP PLUNGER BUTTON SHOOT THE SAME AS YOUR MAIN PLUNGER BUTTON!!!! Do you know how much extra range time I get when I tell my wife I've changed something and need to tune it? Do you know how much "honey-do" work I've been able to get out of? Do you know how many of her family obligation dinner's I've avoided? Don't mess with my scam, Mister "Two Time Olympic Silver Medalist"!!!!
@@slrellison Thanks Vic Berger, where ever you are. In the 90's we all called them Berger buttons.......then I had kids and archery went away for a while....sort of : )

bought one aae microtip plunger. just cuz your vids are so good and you really do good marketing. cant wait to get it soon.
Once again, thank you Jake! To set the plunger depths, I would use the depth gauge on the caliper that you used as a screwdriver. :D
Great tips
Does the plastic arrow rest plunger need to be cut after the plunger button is installed? Or just leave it..meaning..no need to cut..?
That was cool
Hi Jake, what are your thoughts on magnetic plungers?
What about the o-ring in measurement?

I am going to work on a newer version soon and will ask about a gold color!

Just one, called the AAE gold micro plunger iirc
Any thoughts on the shibuya plunger?
Pretty sure it uses a brass plunger tip, brass is massively heavy so I wouldn't recommend it imho.

🤣
is there a difference between a "berger button" and a plunger?
Bob Jimenez No; it’s just that Vic Berger invented the first plunger buttons, so they’re often named after him.
Same same
In Portugal, we use "Berger" instead of plunger. In Spain they say "Botón de presión". It's all the same. In France it's "Berger-button"

Why a plunger on the horizontal and not one the vertical axis?
Because of the arrow paradox which means the spine flex horizontally
@@sillybilly7467 Fuzzy physics
Video pic. They can touch, just the tips lol
The only plunger I know is the one in my toilet
you put a LOT of ads on your vids. it makes them unwatchable.
You’re watching year old vids. Try something new, things have changed and morphed quite a lot.
