A channel introduction to instruction and guidance in Barebow archery for beginners.
Love this channel!
Very informative series. Waiting for next episodes. Regards from Poland
What's the recommended minimum and maximum number of twists to adjust brace height before needing a new string?
There really isn’t one. I have run strings with as few twists as five and as many as a fifty. So it’s personal preference; you just have to tune to the setup for whatever you choose. Hypothetically there’s probably a point where too many twists is bad. You’ll know it when you see it though as the strands will look strained or bunched up. Personally, I like to try for a string length around 20-30 twists and tune from there, but ymmv. 😎
I’m only shooting 35 lbs and very to new to the plunger and rest set ups. I bought a wifler mp-1 plunger and the click marks go all the way up to 9. I have it set pretty much in the middle at 4 1/2. But I really don’t know if that’s the right tension or not. Any suggestions???
@@sjohn_8627 the right tension is based on the overall rune of the system. That includes a myriad of variables from the obvious like dynamic spine reaction of the arrow to how the string comes off your hook based on your personal technique. So there is no right answer per se; it will depend on your set up. I always suggest starting near the softer side of the middle as that gives you a bit more tuning room to work with. Once good arrow flight is achieved and dynamic spine reaction is good, fine tune the plunger tension as the LAST item to close down groups to their best possible size. It will then be adjusted for your setup based on your technique.
So the wire on that rest will move in when the arrow is released….like it actually flips in and touches the Velcro spot??
@@sjohn_8627 yep
Thank you so much, this is a trove of golden nuggets of information for a beginner like myself! One question: wouldn’t doing only the plane adjustment solve both that alignment and the limbs alignment at the same time?
@@NotTheLarryDavid No. you can seem to be on plane (centered near the grip area of riser) but have opposing limb alignment issues on each end.
great video brilliant info for us new to archery. At what point would be best to set a nocking point after tiller and brace or after turning the button and arrow rest. thanks
I suggest that once the limbs are set up and on plane, install the plunger and rest so that you have a reference point for nocking points. Then tie them on as instructed in my other video. By doing it in that way, they are adjustable so you can move them during tuning.
Thanks for the best explanation I've ever seen! Just one thing: If you turn the tillerbolts with the bowstring on the limbs, you will damage the riser. The steel bolts will cut the alloy like a hot knive the butter. I have the the same riser and I didn't remove the string befor turning the tillerbolts. The result after 3 to 4 times tuning was a unuseable riser due to not enough material in the riser holes for the tillerbolts. The risk of pulling out the bolts at full draw was too high, so I decided not to use the riser any more!
There is supposed to be a molybdenum type anti-sieze lubricant on the threads; this generally prevents the bolt threads from cutting into the riser threads in the hole. But if a person is concerned about potential damage, then yes they should always de-string before each adjustment. (This is why I specifically mention it in the video)
This is, hands down, the clearest and most concise explanation of bow tuning I have ever heard. Thank you SO much!!!
Great tip Coach! This is the best explanation on cenrtering the strong onthe planeo of the riser that does not depend on error prone practive of viewing the riser from a distance from behind. By using this tip I fixed a pervasive problem on my bow alignment that not even a seasoned archer/coach was able to fix. This method provedes confidence and peace of mind that your bow is really aligned. That of course depends on having a decent build quality. Thank you for sharing. 🎯
Excuse my multiple writing errors ! Writing on phones is never better than using a full keyboard. I am glad you got the meaning. 👌
How do you shoot 50 m with such a high anchor? Also thank you so much for your excellent videos!
Really awesome work. Best explanation i saw so far.
wonderful demonstration, thank you!
I am new to archery, started about a month ago. I am finding your videos helpful to learn more details about form and tools when upgrading my bow in the future. Since coming into archery I don't know what a lot of the terms such as "raising the risers mark" as an example. I did figure it out through out the video but as a future video maybe you could cover some of the more common terms meanings? Thank you for your work!
In one of your videos you wonder what kind of reach your videos have. I live in a very small town in the north-east of the Netherlands and immediately subscribed to your channel after discovering it. On my journey into archery I have discovered that BareBow shooting is my favorite. I have watched all the videos so far with amazement. You explain everything so well that you have to understand it. And then the most important part, it helped me a lot in setting up my bow. You are doing great, keep it up!!! and maybe one day you will create a channel for advanced BareBow shooters😏. Thank you very much and keep it up. Kind regards, Henk.🙂👍
Thank you for this information! I had no idea what arrow rest to buy for my first barebow!

Would you ever use a wire rest and a plunger ?
@@mikezmac what kind of wire rest are you referring to?
@@barebowbasics a spring rest like the one I have Spigarelli Zero Tolerance (ZT). Will a plunger work with that ?
@@mikezmac yes, 100%. That’s what I demonstrate in the follow up video for set up.
@@barebowbasics awesome!!!! Ty. Buying one! Beiter Plunger! 🪠

@@andrewromano-fw5vp why are you trying to use such a high draw weight? You are likely over bowed and that will greatly hamper your ability to learn good form and shot execution.
How many string strands ? and why ! Thanks.
It depends on which string material you use. Then it also depends on what center serving material you use. Those two factors need to be adjusted based on what the nock throat you choose to use. For example, I generally use Beiter #2 nocks; for a proper fit with BCY x-99 string material, I need 19-20 strands, with a center servings of .025 BCY Powergrip.
Thanks for sharing this great information. Keep up the great job.
Very instructive and well explained for us beginners....... However, I think many "experts" also learn a lot from your videos Thanks!
Thanks for sharing this great information.
Hey, thanks for the video. I am really considering getting the gillo G1 as my second riser, but have heard that limb fit can be an issue. I will be using WNS Delta C3 Limbs for now. Do you have any experience using the G1 with cheap limbs? Thanks a lot in advance.
@@Jan-is4jy while it’s possible as every manufacturer has their own slight variation on the IILF sizing, most are all compatible with each other. The most common issue I’ve seen with some users claiming limb fitment issues is due to the user over tightening the lateral limb adjustment set screws; this compresses the dovetail and effectively narrows the slot down making insertion or removal of the limb seem incredibly difficult. Backing the set screw off so that it’s just barely touching the side of the dovetail assembly almost always alleviates the issue. I personally never had any issues with limb fit on my G1 risers, so while I won’t say it’s impossible to run into an issue, I do think it’s highly unlikely.
YES, I finally found a video that explained these adjustments in a very educational way, many thanks 😁👍
It is very well illustrated video. Thank you
Could you please post a link for tuning forks? Edit : They actually seem to be discontinued, any other way to tune the string to true center without this tool?
Many generally use Beiter Limb Line Gauges. While not as good as the tuning forks, they do serve the purpose and help get the job done.
Bro next of best worth equipment in compund bow target archery 😮😢
Very interesting ands thanks for the information
Well this was a gold mine of a video! Thank you very much for your time and information.
Thank you for your channel. You are a gifted speaker, and you have organized the material so that it is easy to follow, and you focus on the essentials with reasonable recommendations.
Seriously good video
My beginner barebow has only one hole in the riser. Can I mount the plunger and the stick-on flipper rest on the same axis? Doesn't the pressure from the plunger push the arrow away from the riser on this type of rest?
Yes, you can certainly use a stick on rest. But as I discuss in the videos, it is not optional as if you have any kind of failure during competition, replacement becomes very difficult, and getting it aligned to as close a position as before the failure is a huge challenge. When you have only a few minutes to repair and get under way during an event, ease of repeatable setup is key to having the confidence in your gear even after any mishaps.
@@barebowbasics Thanks! Enjoy your videos.
Did you mean 18.5 "cm" instead of 18.5 "mm" (at around 8:50)?
Yes! Sorry, it was an error of speech; unfortunately there’s no way for me to correct it once the video was published. Approximately 18.5 cm was the distance from limb surface to string.
I think your alignment towards the pressure point is correct. I think it is more consistent than aligning on the pivot point.
We need more video's. You provide amazing content. Please keep them coming. 🏹
These Barebow Basics videos are really the best. So much useful information that can't be found anywhere else, even by some well-known archers. No blablabla just very precise and super well-organized instructions. Mr. Wong is the best!
Thank you. I enjoy fleching arrow, too
That mirror on the ceiling will come in handy 😊. Very helpful. Appreciate it
Are you really driving while shooting a video??
Thanks for sharing this great information
I’m just so happy to have found this channel! ❤. Thank you for all your help!
Thank you!
Looks like barebows really aren't bare .
Thank you for the video. One request: Your recommendation for nocks was Beiter or Easton. That was fine. However Easton products are forbidden to deliver in Europe and Japan, so only the Beiter recommendation is available to us. When recommending Easton, could continue to give alternatives available in Europe and Japan?
According to the Easton website, they have international distributors in many European countries and multiple listed in Japan. I would recommend double checking availability through these distributors. (There really aren’t any other top tier nock manufacturers unfortunately that I can recommend) eastonarchery.com/international-distributors/
@@barebowbasics Thanks, this was helpful.
Another great session …. Thank you for sharing!
Amazingly great help to us getting started in barebow. Your videos are perhaps the best videos I have seen for ANY subject. You give so much so gracefully, precise, and willingly. You are a blessing! Thank you for doing these videos!
Your delivery content and video qualityares impeccable! I enjoy watching this a lot even though I have done all this many times before you only added to my knowledge.
When you put in the modified screw for the plunger, do you ever tighten the rear set screw in the housing? I get that the point is to be able to make adjustments more easily, but I wonder if you have issues with it vibrating out of position?
It is ok to snug it up a little, just to add more friction to the side of the adjustment screw. But don’t tighten it down entirely as the goal is to have it so that it can still be turned/adjusted as necessary. As long as you haven’t lost it, Shibuya originally installed a tiny little disc of nylon that the set screw pushes against. This creates the friction against the adjustment screw without the metal of the set screw tip biting into the adjustment screw threads.
