Another great video-- even for us barebow shooters the concept of the push thru the clicker is essential to good shooting. We have to feel when we are at our full draw but the value of the clicker concept to me is the come to alignment, settle, aim and push the bow thru the imaginary clicker, pushing the arrow towards the target, unanticipated release and follow thru arrow all the way to the target. One smooth motion.
hey Jake, newbie in barebow archery here. Been watching a lot of your videos and I was wondering if there was already or if you could make a series on how to set up your bow. like how/where to install the nock pin, arrow rest, plunger etc, how to measure the required length of string, impact of pre stretching your strings VS not etc all the basic fondamentals. You always explain in detailed and easy to understand fashion and I think it would be interesting. Thank you so much for all your free videos it
Hi! New subscriber here ~ I'm 22 y/o and currently obese. it has always been my childhood dream to learn archery. Watching the olympics definitely ignited the spark in me to dream a little. Do you think I can still learn archery at my age enough to qualify for Olympics? *(this may seem far-fetched for now but I decided to put in all effort and work for this big dream)
Yes, you can still do it. Archery isn't a sport that benefits from being young. It's more about the work you put into achieving your targets. Find a local club and enroll onto a beginner's course. They will teach you the basics and get you going! Good Luck.
I've been shooting with a clicker since May, self-teaching (with assistance from Dr Kaminski). gotta say that the advice at 9:41 chimes loud with me - a coupla millimeters too far back and I found I was really struggling, so shot inconsistently (not that I shoot well in the first place). Latest lesson is that I need to check my clicker (it's a Beiter) because over time it creeps out of position, so it's a start of day check, and an occasional check during the day (I'm trying for 120 arrows/day on my 18metre Backyard Agincourt range, while I'm working from home and the weather's good) And O BTW, @Heather - how's your shooting progress?
When you are at far distance try an exercise where you do normal shot but come through clicker intentionally but don’t shoot the arrow and keep expanding after it clicks. Do that 5 or 6 times in a set and repeat. Then try the same exercise but shoot the arrow. Make sure you aren’t collapsing when you are doing the second exercise. That should help your mind with expanding smoothly
How do you feel about limb driven clickers? I just got my new recurve and bought some low poundage limbs (26#) and prefetched arrows to get started. The arrows are full length so need to be cut down at some point before I can use a riser mounted clicker. My plan is to cut them down when I am ready to try some higher poundage limbs so that they will still be matched to the bow. The thing is right now I am getting decent left right groups but not so much vertically. So I thought I might try a limb mounted clicker for now I can at least start getting use to using one and hopefully get some better groups? Never mind I saw your other video with you using one on your barebow so I just ordered one. Should be perfect for now or maybe even permanent....who knows.
Hi Jake, absolutely love your videos 👍 thank you for taking time to do these helpful videos. I am looking to find out where I can purchase a Barebow weight like your one you added to the win win riser (I added a weight which was too close to the bottom limb bolt, I added a nut to create a space) a judge said the bow is illegal to use for Barebow

Really well explained + demonstrated. Thanks!

Thank you Jake, takes the mystery out of the clicker and makes it approachable for novice (me :) shooters.

Jake, good advice. Now if I could only come through the clicker as easy while aiming at a target as I can at blank bale. Everything would be great.
