- The bow grip is one of two areas you contact the bow itself, which makes it vitally important to be consistent in how you hold your bow. I show you in this video how to hold the bow grip in the strongest way possible for the best chance of archery consistency.

What I really like about this channel is the fact that Jake never fakes a shot. No over exaggeration, but "this is what you do - this is what you get". 👍
I'm from uk, but yes this is my go to channel for advice outside of the real world because he's really good at explaining thing's, and never fakes it.
This has been one of my more difficult changes in more. Form. Bad habits take seconds to learn but ages to correct. Thanks for breaking this down so well Jake
Glad to help, let me know if it helps.
@@JakeKaminskiArchery so far so good. Definitely seeing an improvement overall
Great video, per usual, Jake. This video is incredibly important to a developing archer. I wish I would have seen this about a couple of years ago when I first started archery. For well over a year, I was gripping the bow EXACTLY like how you show NOT to do it. I thought I'd seen several olympic style archers gripping the bow that way, not realizing that they were simply using bows designed with an extremely high grip. So I started using the same grip, but on a very low grip compound bow. Not only did I have all the problems you articulate here and a horrible side to side wobble, worse, I developed serious bicep tendon tendonitis, though at the time I had no idea what was causing it. Ironically, it was when I started shooting a bare bow with a medium grip that I begin to understand the problem. The draw weight of the bare bow made it clear that I couldn't hold that pivot point grip steady, so I had to put pressure lower on the grip. After that EVERYTHING got better - including my shoulder.
I think someone with the knowledge and experience Jake Kaminski has should have their own equipment line. I would definitely buy a 27" Kaminski barebow riser
My groups tightened up significantly in my first shooting session after watching this. In addition, the full draw position felt much more stable and thus easier to hold for longer. But Jake didn't lie! The arrows go higher. I shot several over my deer target and spent a good while hunting for them in the woods. Shoot low on your first few tries with the new grip.
Perfect sound.Perfect tuning
Fantastic video as always, perfect timing too, just a few weeks ago i realised that my grip wasn't consistent and needed work, but, i didn't know what it should look like. As ever your video will be invaluable. Thank you
I always learn something new from this channel. Even "simple thing' yet very important. Thank you.
Looking forward to putting this into practice this weekend.
It's amazing the different ways a particular aspect of technique can be explained and interpreted. I must have watched your other videos discussing the grip a hundred times and somehow missed the key point of how to get into the grip.....push into the throat first, then settle into the pressure point. Thank you for reiterating/clarifying/highlighting again in this video. Looking forward to the next one.
Was having some problems with my grip and this is exactly what I needed, thank you!
I've noticed off and on, and particularly this week, that I sometimes lose pressure point contact. AND I've noticed inconsistent clicker trip. So now I'll pay closer attention to the two. So thank you for this timely (at least for me) instruction!
Just started Archery this video is perfect. Extremely basic but so important! Great explanation thank you!
This helps allot, thanks for the video!
Wow I just realised i was putting my arrow on the wrong side of my bow!!! Im right handed but got a ambidextrous bow, so i was putting my arrow on the right side of the bow, wow yes sir this is why you are my go too channel for archery even though im from uk youre videos are really helpful.
Best Archery Channel on RUclips.
Brilliant video. Been struggling with this. Great info
Thank you so much for explaining this!
This is what I needed to figure out where my consistency went, especially after a shoulder / wrist / hand injury I had in May.
Great information. Thank you!
Great video. As always, I learned something more to improve my shooting.
I watched a video of yours a while ago about fitting the grip to you which ended in me sanding my Satori grip way down and adding a grove for my middle finger to get my elbow rotated out...not only did my accuracy drastically improve but pretty much threw away my arm guard too.
Big thanks!!!
Super cool video that made me more aware of the feel in my grip thank u jake
Thanks for the advice young man it really has helped an old guy like me I appreciate the help anywhere I can get it..
Great video. My arrow placement has always been left of the gold. I struggled to figure out what to do. Adjusting my sights didn’t work. Now this video has given me a process to fix my problem and give me a more consistent shot.
Thanks
Just getting back to shooting after some time off and did notice the arrows rising and falling and remembered that I had gotten into the habit of "adjusting" the contact in that area. Thank you for the insight.
Jake, this is hugely helpful. I have a BowTech Reckoning Gen 2 39 with adjustable grip and I think it's time to bring the pressure point out some in the morning.
Thanks! 👊🏼🎯
best archery channel!
Very nice video and very useful.. Thanks for the step by step explanation🙏🙏
Thanks for sharing! very usefull! 🙂
you are my savior mike I did it exactly the way it shouldn't. Thanks, I'm becoming a regular subscriber. Thanks
great video! I liked and subscribed. Would be interesting to see this demo on different grips with emphasis on arrow stability, flight path, etc. rather than precision/accuracy/POI.
Appreciate the timestamps.
Bout time someone put out a video on this. I have been struggling on this. So I watched this video and got itchy , grab my bow and went out. Finally got all arrows to hit vertically. Usually I’m off right to left a few inches either way. If I’m off now is cause I misjudged distance. I’m a bare bow shooter so it definitely help me. Gave me a more solid and controlled shot. Thanks Jake
Always fun to see Jake learning how to RUclips better :)
I like your channel. I am just getting back into archery after a VERY long break.
Like a no Internet long break!
Grabbed a 40 pounder recurve and set up an archery course on my land.
The tech has really changed since I used a handmade 65 pound long bow that was so huge, I had to angle it to shoot it....and I am 6 foot 2!
Anyway, never was able to access instruction, so happy that so many people seem to be into this sport and kicking down knowledge.
I am a rock climber, so forearm fatigue is not an issue with archery but damn, the tips of my left shoulder and my right bicep....
Thanks for the video. This is exactly what I’m struggling with rn.
Damnit I am pretty much doing all of that. Noticed I have been collapsing form and getting some odd consistency.
Got lost in comment and now I got to watch video again. Saved.
Learn alot from this❤💛💚
Really appreciate the information you give Jake. I've been focusing a lot on my grip lately and have noticed that sometimes I strike my forearm. Knowing you cant see me shoot, does anything come to mind that I might be doing which forces my forearm into the path of the string?
Great video tutorial! Keep up the good work, legend. Very clear and accessible!
//////////////////////////////////
greetings from Belarus.
I love how you give out information. You can tell you've taught a few people how to shoot right before! Your fletching videos have been especially helpful for me lately, but I've actually been working on my pressure point lately so good timing
Great video as always. I recently realise that I have some kind of problem with my grip, that is, my hand always seem to slide up even though I have been using those rubber wrap to minimise the problem. Any tips on that?
I am the exception LoL! not by choice my left hand is held to my arm by a 7 inch titanium plate and 8 screws due to a severe injury and total fusion. right hand is a partial fusion and not strong enough to hold the riser safely but can pull and hold a string safely. I'm able to Hunt and target shoot, I am able to string walk shoot barebow and compound, I probably will not be setting any record scores but its about having a good time with family and friends. Very informative and useful video as usual Sir! I am looking to getting back into local competition shooting, looking at both the Sanlida and the Exceed, I've shot Hoyt for many years so I am a little Biased but the Miracle looks good!
How does hand size affect this? I have a tiny hand, but bow grips are one size fits all. Great timing on this video, I’ve been trying to follow your advice.
Thanks!
Thanks for the Super Thanks!
I shoot a wooden traditional recurve. My grip is not made perfectly symmetrical and I think it's made on purpose. So while I try to push into the pressure point, I'm effectively pushing towards the right, and I have some very interesting result: when I shoot light feather-fletched arrows (also too stiff), they drift waaay right. This is not much of a problem when I shoot heavier vane-fletched arrows. But this might also has to do with my arrow rest which.
This gave me life....my shots would be all over the place...mainly left...applied this this...TODAY....grouped 5 arrows two inches 40 yards....4 times.....smh...man...
There's a balance between the upper and lower bones in the forearm in relation to wrist, elbow and shoulder set?
Thank you for making all these videos! I'm brand new to the sport, so all the information you give has been so helpful! It's hard to find information online and the people at the shop nearby aren't the most approachable when it comes to newbies..
Looking into ILF risers and limbs are so complicated for me because that information seems to go right over my head.. are all ILF risers and limbs compatible with each other?
Yes
There is some variance on tolerances so sometimes getting limbs out can be tricky, but you should be able to shoot any ILF kit with anything else.
Jake,
Besides hand placement - how hard should you actually grip the bow?
Hi Jake what grip is this, and what material, I love the colour but cannot seem to find anything similar on the rcore site
so it looks like when you're in set position, your draw-arm wrist is bent inward. I was always taught to keep it bent outward throughout the entire shot process. Is there a reason you have it set like that?
Off-topic, what size t-shirt are you wearing? I'm between sizes and can't decide which of your tri-blend shirts to order.
Very good information about bow grip. Please give the same information about Elbow Turn of bow hand. In today's video, your elbow is seen to be turning forever. Please make and send a detailed video of what could be his technique...
Does grip strenght and positioning affect how often the string will slap my forearm? i'm not sure why but 20% or so of the arrows i shoot the string hits my forearm😢
Valeu!
This is something I am struggling with. My grip position is highly inconsistent. I cannot seem to find that one comfortable grip that works for me ...
EDIT: I finally had some time to train and focused mostly on this topic. I have to say it really helped a ton. MY shooting was more consistent and much less fatigue in the bow arm after the training.
Great watch and thanks for sharing. I do have a question regarding the slight pointing of the thumb. I’m wonder if the thumb point is contributing to the arrow impact being slightly left or if the arrow is a little stiff for that bow.
Thanks
It can affect the impact for sure, but in this video the impacts left/right aren’t too important. It’s mostly the up/down that this is highlighting. I am hitting slightly left only because my sight is off a little bit.
@@JakeKaminskiArchery thanks mate. That all makes sense. I shoot off the shelf with a slight cant so automatically default to form and tune.
Thanks too for your contribution to the archery community
I'm better than Jake at 30m! Great video Jake, i' m getting so much help from your channel. Thank you so much.
I've been doing archery for over 8 years now (olympic at first, now traditional) and I have to say that I struggled with an improper grip for a while too. Another problem with pushing at the pivot point is that you stress the area between your thumb and forefinger quite a bit instead of distributing it evenly - this can result in a sore spot after prolonged sessions.
I also found that for beginners pushing into the grip properly tends to align the elbow properly more often while an improper grip often results in the elbow rotating down - maybe because of the other muscles being activated instead of everything relying on the skeletal structure.
I actually just took a college course in archery, and I excelled at my form very quickly. But about half way through the semester I started noticing that I was having the exact issue you mentioned, sadly I only now fixed it thanks to this video.
Do you have any tips you might pass down to a newbie archer like me?
@@patrikioskoskinas3308 Only to never stop consciously thinking about your form and even after getting the basics right continue to change and tweak things, maybe one thing at a time, to see what works for you.
I am not a competitive archer, I shoot traditionally at 3d ranges, but it's still more satisfying to hit your target than to miss, right?
Some people get set in their ways early on and then even after 20 years of shooting have very poor form and poor results - don't do that! There's always stuff to learn and improve!
It's so funny watching you struggling to do things incorrectly and still making what to me are pretty good shots. You need me in your videos to illustrate mistakes! Seriously, thanks for all the great videos. I do have a question, what are you looking at when you look down just before you release the arrow? (7:15)
Clicker Control
Is there any completion where you shot 90m any more?
with a compound this will get you an extra inch or so of draw length but the inconsistency is not worth the fps
Can't wait to see your review of the new Hoyt Axia limbs and the Formula XD.
Hopefully they send me one!
The best and most stable grip can actually be seen from 1:02 - 1:12 xD
Forgive me, I'm a complete noob. But it seems to me the sensation is like if you were performing a front plank? i.e feeling the load through the pad of your palm, with very little tension in your forearm. The pressure in the pivot point simply a product of that load through your palm being directed up into the throat via the angle of the grip?
P.S I think your videos are awesome. I have no idea how you only have 80k subs.
OK. How to buy your limb bolts?
whats your finger tab ?
I want new bow set how much jake
My MXT-10 broke yesterday on full draw... I shivered for at least one hour. W&W is going to replace them
Glad they are taking care of you. Freak things happen.
I use this everyday. I recommend you buying this.
For reference, it would be helpful to know what size target face you're using here.
40cm
Thank you! That's what I thought, and it helps for me with my groups at 30m also using a 40 cm face.
@@JakeKaminskiArchery Hopefully, the next video will be about proper hooking when using split fingers to find accuracy, speed, or affect to arrow flight..
Will this also carry over into compound bows?
Yes, not on the draw length point though
So it's pretty much like Is high wrist low wrist
Been adjusting all that using mostly with my hand and wrist. Oops.
OMG..... did this make a difference!
Glad it helped!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What is the angle of the bow grip in the video?
“As designed” I think it may be the barebow grip in my collection at RCore.
@@JakeKaminskiArchery I'm currently using the stock grip of my Fivics Vellator V3 riser which I measured is 45 degrees. Started noticing the steep angle is making me put more pressure on the pivot point, I'm been wondering why my arrows kept hitting left of centre (sometimes high left, other times low left). After watching your video, I think I know why, so thank you. Will definitely get a new grip from R-Core!
On R-Core, for the barebow grip it's 33 degrees as designed. Stock medium is 38.
And man, that's a beautiful purpleheart grip!
Este error me lo acaba de corregir mi couch.
This left hand seems very difficult to master
there is no mounting bolt on VERTATUNE PLATE
You’re welcome
tomorrow morning I will tire my hoyt epik next week Polish field championship competition somewhere in the provinces 250 km from Warsaw, I have no chance but I'm going ...
You favor Stephen amell a little bit which is kind of perfect considering what you do
👍🏻🇨🇦
You look like that green arrow guy, coincidence?
Na, he looks like me. Haha
HI there can you tell me what happy to the recurve limb that broke at the shoot? it was a bamboo limbs made by Hoyts limbs?
he sounds knowledgeable, but with all that extra equipment on his bow, why doesn't he just get a stand to set the bow on? That would make a more accurate shot.
It’s called an Olympic Recurve. The style and class of bow allows many accessories to be mounted.
That is your personal style. Your follow through is not smooth and looks awkward.
You can help me for plaing archery ....i wonted 68"44 limb.one. coach 🙏🙏🙏
