I´m a beginner. 1,5 year, and one thing that annoying me is lack of information when you buy a bow equpiments Plunger adjustment, arrow rest adjustment.....nothing from the manufacturer Take Spigarelli and their arrow rest, not a word about how to adjust it only a single exploded vieew So Jake Kaminski, don't apologize for repeating what you teach. You teach archery in an absolutely excellent way Thanks!
You are not over teaching - in fact you are very clear in every explanation and I admire your attention to detail. Thank you for all your amazing content 🙏 🏹 👏👏👏
Yet he seems to be using a 500 spine arrow which is spot on what's recommended for him, if I'm not mistaken, 29" arrow at around #42 in the Easton chart. I'd love some insights on that advice then! EDIT: I've been following his advice and went 100 stiffer than adviced on the arrow chart and guess what, bare shaft hit at about 20cm to the left @18m, 35cm at about 25m.
Hi Jake. I'm a beginner who has been shooting every day for 6 months, and I love your channel! You're an excellent teacher - Thank you! I think this is your best video yet, and I really appreciate the details, clarity, honest shots, and examples you provide. Keep up the excellent work, and thanks!
Came to see your channel via a colleague from our Archery club, and i must say, youve certainly packed in a good few pointers there. Great content. Many thanks Jake.
Many things that mr Kaminski learns us are things I allready know and experienced for 15+ years as a bb-veteran and archery-coach. Now, I still have a massive gratitude for the way mr Kaminski makes these things clear … AND often I still learn little but important details which is absolutly great :) Mr Kaminski has a way to make things clear and a very big experience as a professional archer wwhich i don.t have But it is not fun to notice that serious bb-knowledge wasbeing put to the side, laughed upon for years…But now, because it is told by a Olympic athlete, people are listening suddenly. Things as having to choose a stiffer spine, negative tiller, … Anyway, mr Kaminski does an amazing job and is a the best BB-ambassador « we » ever had :)
Hello Jake, as always great video, I am a big fan of your work. Around the 17:45 you state string alignment is like crawling, you take it to the direction you want the arrow to go not you’d follow the arrow, but later when you explain it with an arrow you correct that, so am I correct to say unlike string crawl if you want the arrow to go to the right, you bring your string alignment toward left closer to arrow? Yes I am a right hand archer like you.
"demystify" is the right word for this. It's the impression that people have for any non-Olympic archery disciplines using instinctual aiming, and many beginners are intimidated by this. Most archery disciplines (maybe with the exceptions of horseback or those needing quick shooting) is a game of finding your reference points and developing your own aiming system. The only main differences to Olympic archery are the stabilizer and clicker. The sight does not directly make you accurate, but I believe its there as an extra reference point and its there for efficiency purposes.
Such a relief to hear someone recommending a sensible bracing height range for a 70in bow. The number of people who think (mistakenly) that they're making the bow more forgiving by shooting 9.5in or even higher, when all they're doing is overstressing the limb.
i decided to return to barebow distance has no matter with the pleasure of shooting your advices are always concrete and simple, i'll test myself in 2 hours
Great video thank you. I am going to try and set the bow up keeping in mind what you've said here (notes taken) barebow people do struggle with the mystery of it all, I'm a new archer. Thank you again for your hard work.
Hey, thanks for sharing your knowledge and discoveries on barebow! You recommend 100-150 spine stiffer arrows yet seem to be using the recommended arrow spine (500) by Easton for your arrow length (29")/draw weight(#42)? Did I miss something? Many thanks!! EDIT: I've been following his advice and went 100 stiffer than adviced on the arrow chart and guess what, bare shaft hit at about 20cm to the left @18m, 35cm at about 25m.
I watch your videos,Your videos are well explained and detailed but I wanted to know that is there any disadvantage if we have a big draw length in recurve archery
Finding arrows that are stiff/long enough, your height puts you into the wind more cause your higher up from the ground. Otherwise it’s only advantageous.
Getting into your skill set late in life. I’ve been to a range with a pro here in my area, just can’t afford to go back. I used a long bow, I think 40-50lb, don’t recall. My question to you would be, if I want to better my skills, for hunting, fun target shooting, etc, what should I focus on, long or recurve, or Compound? Length of arrow, wood or carbon, specifics on some basics. I’m just a bit lost on what to buy to move forward as I’m single dad on a major budget in this economy. Thanks for your help!
Great video as always, I always find useful information in your videos, keep it up. Not related to the video but I have bought a RCore LPP grip, using it for few month, now it shows some cracks at the bolt, is that normal?
Reach out to RCore and send them pictures. They will know what is expected more than I know. Make sure you are using the washers they included under the bolts if you got them in the package.
Great video. I have heard archers talk about point on. Is that when the tab is touching the bottom of the nock or arrow? I assume you find the distance by trial and error.
I'm a returning casual archer from before Covid. I've always done modern recurve (straight and cerebral) and bare/traditional (dynamic and muscle memory) in parallel, deliberately keeping techniques feeling distinct to prevent crosscontamination. In these years I went from clean shave to beard, and that thing is thick enough that even the angle at which my hand approaches my jaw makes a difference. Would you have any tips on anchoring points that don't rely on the backside of the jaw?
Hey Jake, I'm interested to know what make of plunger you are using as I'm think of getting a new one. And do you always have it 'unlocked' so you can adjust the spring. I have mine with the allen bolts tight in case I adjust it by accident.
need an advice im disabled in a wheelchair and i shoot barebow but i have a problem that i sit low, and i cant aim in the centar of the target because i always hit way high what do i need to change, im crawling all the way down cant go any lower. i shoot 28 lbs limbs samick sage with light begginer arrows thx
Hi Jake,I'm interested about what you said about stiffer spines,could you tell me what poundage otf and make of arrow you use because it something ive never considered that it can cause dry firing.
Hey Jake, thanks for the videos. They've really helped me understand stuff as a new archer. I have a question to anyone who is a subscriber, I cant seem to get the Discord Channel to show up when linking my TH-cam and Discord account - Any ideas?

I'd read that stiffer arrows were good for barebow without any reasoning why - so appreciate the explanation as to why this is the case. Thanks Jake!
too bad this videos was published a month AFTER i brought my arrows… 😭😭😭😭

Awesome video as always. I´ve been shooting Barebow for about 2,5years now and your videos have been very helpful for me. :D

Using a recurve bow with a wood riser at a 22" draw. This is useful as I did start with barebow.
Outstanding video Coach. Clear and concise. Thanks!
Great summary, love shooting barebow as a break from olympic.
As a break from Olympic? 😅😅😅😅
A barebow IS an Olympic bow with a down syndrome. Degenerated child of archery, invented for people who can't shoot.
Great video thank you. I am going to try and set the bow up keeping in mind what you've said here (notes taken) barebow people do struggle with the mystery of it all, I'm a new archer.
Thank you again for your hard work.
Thanks Jake. I had now idea what the function of a plunger is.....
A lot of great information in this video - Thanks, Jake!

Hey jake with the archery olymics happening id love to see maybe some breakdowns of the archers competing
Thank you. I have a greater understanding of barebow set up now.

So.... can i have different strings for different distances amd having different nock points? New to archery.😊
Thank you .
Hi Jake, what type and brand of plunger are you using 🤔
need an advice im disabled in a wheelchair and i shoot barebow but i have a problem that i sit low, and i cant aim in the centar of the target because i always hit way high what do i need to change, im crawling all the way down cant go any lower. i shoot 28 lbs limbs samick sage with light begginer arrows thx
just an unrelated question: how often do you damage your own arrows by hitting them when they're in the target?
Hi Jake,I'm interested about what you said about stiffer spines,could you tell me what poundage otf and make of arrow you use because it something ive never considered that it can cause dry firing.
Where did you buy archery equipment?
Bonjour ,
Pourriez vous me donner la marque et la référence de votre palette ? ...
Merci d’avance 😉
I’m looking to buy a barebow. I’m 5’10” with a 26.5” draw length. Would a 68” bow fit well???
I have been taking lessons for 9 months and have not gotten any of this information
This is why I made this video
What tab are you using with the 3 finger elastic? My yost tab has been pulling forward on release then recoiling back and smacking my pinky.
Like match rifle sights, thinking of it as the way a screw works, screw the wind..
Hi Jake, how do I do a video coaching review?
Could be that stiffer arrows are better for string crawl and not for bare bow per se.
Hey Jake, thanks for the videos. They've really helped me understand stuff as a new archer. I have a question to anyone who is a subscriber, I cant seem to get the Discord Channel to show up when linking my TH-cam and Discord account - Any ideas?
Have you successfully linked your discord and your TH-cam account? Trying to fix this on my end.
@@JakeKaminskiArchery Hey Jake, thanks for the reply. Whatever you have done has fixed it for me! Thank you
