Rich Barker, Bobby Worthington, Dewayne Martin and John Demmer III compete in the finals of the Barebow Division at the 2018 Lancaster Archery Classic.
Great video. As a newbie to archery and barebow, it's fantastic to be able to watch top quality barebow archers in action as so many videos online reference Olympic recurve setup. To see how these guys setup, aim, release - it's fun to watch but really educational too. Thanks for posting.
This is just so much more fun to watch, compared to the other styles of shooting. I am just now getting into archery again since a kid, and I love it. Glad to see this style gaining more light.
Being a loner when I started archery, I could not get the sight block low enough to hit the 20m, so I gave up on sights, the best thing I did, I have a 68" barebow recurve, with Shibuya plunger and rest, My shooting is getting better and better, just ordered some new arrows so waiting in anticipation, I also love the flatbow, off the shelf shooting, so pleased with a flatbow I tried my hand at making one, so 4 bows later and I am going back to lighten the limbs, they all are too strong for regular shooting, and being 59, I am not getting any fitter, also being disabled with a lower spine problem, I find I can do archery no problem, it is walking for the arrows that kills me, I joined a club St Neots Bowmen, a great club full of friendly people, they have improved my shooting no end, and sorted out my problems with shooting bless you all :) Bare Bow Rules :) makes you a better shooter :)
It may be on a big stage but at the end of the day it is still barebow archer's showing up to a fun competition in the barebow community. It is polite and good sportsmanship to clap for these archers regardless of their performance. It's a fun community competition.
Many thanks for hosting & posting. Barebow is my passion - I started that way almost 50 years ago, then left the sport for 40 years. Since I still had my old equipment (Herter Sitka Perfection 72" and Easton aluminum shafts, leather shooting glove), when I took it up again I defaulted to the same equipment and style. String walking, shooting tab, carbon arrows, metal risers with doodads on them all seem kind of alien, but the principal hasn't changed much. I know I'm not as accurate as the wheelie-bow archers in my club, but I get pure pleasure out of being pretty darn close without any mechanical help!
Excellent job by Rich Barker. This man needs to be sponsored. He showed solid skill and a great personality to represent Barebow archery. Looking forward to the 2019 Barebow competition.
Just started shooting last October, great video of the finals guys! Production values 4.6 stars, we can always improve. In any case, an excellent mix of camera angles, commentary and slo-mo replays w/commentary, I learned a lot. One thing on string walking, 3/4-1 inch crawl was mentioned at 20yds but bow poundage the archer was shooting was not mentioned, critical to the gap solution.
Already watched this by finding it within the 11 hour stream video. Lancaster, you know this is what everyone wants to watch! I'd like to see the WHOLE 32 finalist showdown in a longer video. I haven't seen that yet. I'd also like to see more than four matches on the final stage, but I don't know if that's possible with the tournaments time constraints. I hope I can go and participate in this next year. I also hope barebow numbers increase next year as well. I'd love to see 256 competing. 500 the year after next.
More stuff like this please! Sights and all the kahuna doesn't make for as good entertainment - this has a more grits vibe and excitement; feels like more can happen.
Oscar Campbell “sights and kahuna” enables people to shoot at 70 meters. Bare bow shooters shoot way closer than that because they can’t shoot 70 meters.
@@Nanorisk Is that so? Clay Hayes - th-cam.com/video/lF1TxiforHc/w-d-xo.html Jimmy Blackmon th-cam.com/video/9hkxqMNrOZU/w-d-xo.html Both doing 80-100 yard shots with traditional wooden selfbows.
Great to watch and great to get ahold of a new rig from Lancaster and be back in the game. I'm 49 in two weeks and my left shoulder needs me to get back to practice now or give up. Today I chose not to let go of anything except a whole lot of arrows at full draw.
I enjoyed this as much as the footage of last year’s event. Well done and thank you Lancaster Archery!!! It was also very encouraging to see the support and interest the barebow round generated with the crowd and online. It gives me great hope that this could be expanded to other barebow rounds such as wood riser recurve and wood riser longbow rounds shooting off the shelf. I am not one of the haters or critics of the existing round and whether or not it can legitimately be called barebow. There are reasonable arguments for and against. Those guys up there in the barebow classic are amazing shots and amazing to watch.. I’ve watched 2017 and 2018 many times. Simply put, you have hit on a not yet fully tapped interest is shooting bows without sights and I see no reason you can’t garner more viewers, fans and customers as you explore other barebow rounds. You will never please everybody and there is a point where you should stop trying to as it will only negatively impact on your great tournament. However I think there is certainly room and interest for classic barebow at the Lancaster Barebow Classic. Particularly I would love to see a straight laid or string follow longbow/flatbow round with aluminum arrows rather than wood. On the line I want to see the best archer not the best arrow smith. My fascination with arrow smithing can be enjoyed elsewhere.
the great thing about bare bow shooting is what ever works for you buddy its great to see some dude come in and out shoot every body with some old bow his father gave 30 years ago , its the shooter not the machine ,,,
What a sensational difference: 1. The guy with the base- ball cap stupidly calling attention to himself about "when he started in archery" and all that dribble, as if anybody cares; 2. Second Announcer: "Let's watch these archers shoot"! PERIOD. I "stumbled" upon this competition by mere accident, and I really don't know why. Second announcer --> Sir, what a class act you turned up to be, and I don't know who you are and/or what your qualification(s) are to give you the authority to be there! Thank you Sir, for your professionalism. Oscar Lechuga
Although I don`t compete ? It was absolutely Awesome to watch this !! All the competitors were Bloody Fantastic !! Well done Richard Barker !! >> Thank You !!
The action of moving fingers up and the string is called xstring walking, it changes the angle of the arrow release upwards or dowards depending on which way you go. Regretably it also effects the speed at which the arrow leaves the bow so also the lenght of the shot very marginally. In fact the most effective use of this is on a bare bow of original style i.e. straight wood bow where the arrow rests on the first nuckle of the bow hand. Sting walking is usually down under the string and means that the arrow is not supported at the string other by it knock fitting to the string, therefore the arrow is usually on the left of the bow not the right as in histrical methods, in fact shooting from the left is mainly for speed shooting and horseback shooting. The string hand also uses all three fingers on the draw theat are kept together.
Great video, great shooting, but comming from traditional archery it kinda sounds funny to hear that the bare bow is the purest form of archery. :) It is close, but then there is traditional archery, which is getting bigger all over the world.
I’m not an adult yet and most of the tournaments I will soon go to (i just started in winter) won’t be that big. But I can tell how nervous they are and I’m scared now lol
When saw this saying Lancaster Archery Supply, I thought great I will go have a look, but wrong Lancaster has I am in Lancaster, Lancashire, England. Fabulous video.
I would like to see a purely traditional off the knuckle tournament, no tech whatsoever besides what was to period. Would be great to see some horsebows, english longbows, and with varying distance challenges up to 75-100 meters ish.
@@russbowman6801 definitely, and the many different types of actual horsebows / warbows such as mongolian for example, would be a pleasure to watch them achieve in those categories. Would be alot of fun to see
Funny to hear that last thinh from Demer, couse its the same thing in Bowling in Sweden. The winner of the tournaments will buy all the competerers a drink. I'm a newbie to the game, but already loving the community. Really enjoying the growth of bare bowe.
What distance are they shooting ? can you put a link of the kind of bow they are using ? Is there a poundage limit ? can you put a link to the rules ? Can you use a peep sight in the string ? If someone was to get the same bow setup like the first shooters are using how much would it cost from Lancaster ? Do you have to use a recurve bow like in the videos or can you compete with a longbow if you wanted too ?
not knocking what they are doing... because its really cool... but how is it a bare bow if it has a weight on the front to change the balance of the bow?
you can forbid weights but the only thing that will happen is that the industry will creates barebow risers that are botom heavy without additional weights. the way it is now ppl can use the normal olympic recurces, those are designed with long stabelizers in mind and need the barebow weights to find a balance again. so banning weights will change NOTHING performance wise , only force the ppl to buy new risers.
Would love to see a true longbow competition. Has to be a traditional longbow made out of yew, ash, or osage with no knocking points, cut outs, or shelves.
Hi, there are a lot of traditional archery tournaments in world, i think that USA have that too, we are shooting only lamineted bow without shelfs and shape of real bows, we use only wooden arrows. and there is more, some tournaments allow to shoot 100 % natural copy of bow from medival or ancient
@glyn hodges there was lot of practises, koreans were shooting to a target 145 meters away, turkish were shooting probably 60 meters to target called puta, but almost all of cultures were training shooting like archers from england, you are right
Sorry you all for asking, but does Lancaster Archery Classic have a longbow or instinctive division, or any other traditional? I would like to watch that. Here in Europe we have some indoor competitions which have this divisions. I thank anyone, who would be so kind to answer in advance!
do they not have a true raw unaided class? i would love to compete but i shoot a true instinctive form very close to Fred Bear. but i shoot a true raw fingers i shoot by feel. any info would be appreciated. i could give these guys a run for the money👍
If this is barebow archery, what's the name for the kind of archery using bows that aren't centershot and don't have riser sections, arrow shelves or arrow rests? I would have thought bows like the English Longbow and Asiatic composite bows would have been barebows, or at least "traditional bows", but apparently "traditional bows" refers to bows that aren't takedown but are still centershot, have risers, arrow shelves and arrow rests. People use the word "traditional" fairly loosely, but these "traditional bows" weren't invented until the 20th century.
In the 1980s I shot tournament archery. I would be interested in getting back in it. What are the rules for different classes. Do you still need a PSAA card to compete?
You will need a PSAA card to compete in PSAA state or regional championships only. You could still come to a regional shoot and shoot as a guest if you didn't have a card, but could always sign up for a card at the regional shoot
I started learning archery. I find my self more interested in barebow recurve. can you tell me what is the spec of Mr. Barker bow (inches, lbs, etc). thx
I'm not 100% sure of his complete setup stats, but should be close. He shot a 27" win win riser, long win win limbs around 36# making a 72" bow. He was using a Yost Archery Products tab.
I'm wanting to buy one of bobby worthington's books on Whitetail deer. But cannot find any online. If anyone owns these books and willing to sell it, please let me know.
Bare bow is great better then with sights I am a old archer 61 I meet Fred bear as a boy and shoot bear bow since 1970 I love it I still shoot Jennings bows when I can find them Bare bow is the original archery style since millions of years We shoot for money at 20 yards we shoot life savers candy hanging from a string like a thread first shooter to bust the candy wins the money I have found the love of shooting archery threw the years now I shoot full pro with sights I hope to show good at next big tourney
I noticed that they all used three-finger-under drawing, while I've always used split finger, and I usually only use 2 fingers. Is there some fundamental way that going 3 under helps aim? Is the "string walking" that I saw that big a deal for accuracy? Answers please.
Isaiah Hansen With three fingers under the arrow you can get the arrow closer to your eye for aiming down the shaft of the arrow. Also, it allows string walking which allows you to change the pitch of the arrow so you can hold the arrow point dead on where you want it to hit the target.
Lancaster Archery Supply Thanks for the quick reply. I will probably still aim using split finger, and I'm trying to learn the Mongolian style of drawing with the thumb. Good luck to everyone in their archery journeys!!
Stick to what you're doing. 3 under is for Olympic style of which this so called bare bow is. I guess bare bow just means no sights? That 3 under style gives you no control of the arrow should something go wrong. Learn the Howard Hill method. I shoot Asiatic bow with a thump release mostly these days but when the old long bow comes out I use the Howard Hill style and at 18 meters I can do just as good as these guys with a truly bare bow.
What a giant success. So glad to be a part of it. Let's keep this baby moving forward!!!
Always enjoy watching you shoot, John. Thanks for all you do for the barebow shooters!
ItsJim thanks Jim. It's always a pleasure to help anyone or get things moving along nicely.

Nice to hear that Barebow Archery is growing in the USA. Well done to you all, not easy to go against the norm!
We're Americans, we do that every day. 😁
Growing up and being part Mongolian doing bare bow horseback shooting is amazing and addicted. I’m glad barebow is becoming bigger
Barebow is what it is all about, love it!

That's how you become a LORD at shooting!
When you ask for a standing ovation it kind of defeats the purpose of the audience deciding when something is truly special
I was going to make the same point. Also, you stand for an amazing performance, not for showing up.

I am getting back into archery after a 30 year hiatus. These archers are an inspiration!

about time barebow was respected like this as a barebow shooter of 30yrs its great..

Danzig Rulze no way! according to these guys bare olympic is the "purest" form of archery...😂
just kidding i completely agree with you
Danzig Rulze are there selfbow competitions?
All right I'll go along with that if we can have traditional recurve without all the metal and everything there as well
Hi, there are a lot of traditional archery tournaments in world, i think that USA have that too, we are shooting only lamineted bow without shelfs and shape of real bows, we use only wooden arrows. and there is more, some tournaments allow to shoot 100 % natural copy of bow from medival or ancient

is there a barebow competition where the bow is really bare? no weights, no plungers, and just simple arrow rests or shelf..
What an Epic event!
Awesome shooting. Congratulations Mr Barker :)
Curious....why do they interview the participants in the middle of the competition? Never seen anything like it. Wouldn't this be very distracting??
Sorry you all for asking, but does Lancaster Archery Classic have a longbow or instinctive division, or any other traditional?
I would like to watch that. Here in Europe we have some indoor competitions which have this divisions.
I thank anyone, who would be so kind to answer in advance!
do they not have a true raw unaided class? i would love to compete but i shoot a true instinctive form very close to Fred Bear. but i shoot a true raw fingers i shoot by feel. any info would be appreciated. i could give these guys a run for the money👍

I like it cuz it is stronger and distributes the pull for less hurting fingers.

What pound pull does those bows pull ??
does anyone know what the distance is that they are shooting in the final ?

What is the target distance for this competition???
So, who is all coming this year? Hope to see everyone in 2019

Haw can I finish second archery, I do not understand?!!
Is this something I could enter with my Black Widow bow and compete?
Absolutely! You don't see many full wood bows, but you do see a good handful.

I wasn't expecting this, i'm dead!
what is the distance they shoot from i cant tell from the vibeo?
Farthest indoor distance is 18m, no idea whats that in yards since im european
Studying this so I can be a bit more prepared for my first ever competition 😁
When I shoot my long bow I shoot with one finger above and two below. Can someone explain why all these guys shoot all three under the nock?
Stick to what you're doing. 3 under is for Olympic style of which this so called bare bow is. I guess bare bow just means no sights? That 3 under style gives you no control of the arrow should something go wrong. Learn the Howard Hill method. I shoot Asiatic bow with a thump release mostly these days but when the old long bow comes out I use the Howard Hill style and at 18 meters I can do just as good as these guys with a truly bare bow.
