Your barebow form series has really helped my wife and I with our archery. We are fairly new to the sport and your coaching has already made a difference. Thank you!
I'm just really getting into shooting. I did it as a kid at age 10 (backyard with no supervision) for a year. Now 31 years later, retiring from the military, I want to get back into it. I purchased a Aspen Centerpoint Archery 62"/45 lb recurve bow. I have 30" sp500 amazon carbon fiber arrows and a bicaster plunger and wire arrow rest. I watched your videos on how to setup my bow and not hurt myself or others. That alone warrants you applause. THANK YOU. You're a phenomenal teacher and have a natural gift to impart knowledge. Your non judgemental attitude and your POV is priceless.
Honestly I can't believe we can access to this level of quality videos on UA-cam from an actual Olympic medalist archer is insane. For sure one of my fav channels. -a viewer from South Korea-
perfect timing. I plan on taking a lesson this week to begin my archery journey. I want to keep things simple, with a more traditional approach. this barebow series looks to be exactly what I want.
I started using some of your steps in late december in my garage. shooting every day for about three months then I tapered down to about four days a week. My biggest improvement came from attention and direction. Then my release and your push pull method. I engraved those habits in my shooting. I been shooting wood bows for thirty years and have never shoot so well in my life. Thanks for all your knowledge Jake!
I had never been particularly interested in barebow until I saw your demystification video on string walking. Now, I am really looking forward to this series.
Jake - outstanding, thank you so much for kicking off this new bare bow series! As a supplement to regular video recording, folks might want to consider a Video Delay app, like “Bust A Move”. This provides a continuous video replay with whatever delay time you choose (e.g., 15 sec, 1 minute, or whatever delay). So you can make a shot and turn around to watch what you did, all without ever touching your iPad. It just keeps replaying with the chosen delay - like having a mirror with a delay built in.
I shoot Olympic Recurve for myself, but I am also a certified instructor, and I mostly teach barebow using the NTS shot cycle. It’s absolutely applicable, and there are very few differences in technique between Olympic and barebow recurve. The most prominent differences are, of course, the stringwalking and anchor position. I suspect one of the reasons I got into Olympic style archery was because I was originally taught barebow using point of sight aiming and an under the chin anchor.
Can´t wait. I started shooting 5 months ago straight into barebow. I shot the first 3.5 months just from what felt right and shot really nice scores. Then I read "Inside the Archer" and studied all your form videos, trying to be an orthodox KSL-barebow shooter. Of course, it put me "outside my comfort zone" and lowered my scores, but that is normal. Now I am starting to be more consistent and about to start improving my old scores. The most significant improvement has been the "set-setup", "tensión and direction", and most importantly the "transfer", which pretty much eliminated a creeping problem, which from watching videos I thought it was normal to overdraw and then come back "creep" into the hold and release. Thanks for all the knowledge shared.
Jake, so glad that you’ve made a series for this. I’ve been into archery now for about 12 or 13 years, and the NTS discipline has been my formal foundation of the sport, and like yourself, I’ve ventured into the realm of bare bow as well after shooting a variety of compound, traditional, Olympic, and now bare bow........I can truly attest that this applies to most of the western Archery styles, and incredibly helpful in achieving very good success. Thanks for sharing Sir. 😇🙏🏹👍
I have applied NTS/KSL shot cycle to my own shot system in Barebow, and I found it to be more easier on my body. Especially since I start archery relatively late and my body is not conditioned for archery unlike those that have shot push-pull or straight draw method since young kids or teens.
I've used NTS for my barebow for about three years. I haven't used anything else and have been shooting OR style 8 years before that. I'm a Level 4 NTS Coach so applying to barebow was the natural progression for me. Still have to deal with the variability of barebow, but that physical and mental process helps me.
I would like to see a performance comparison between this style of release and the "split finger" Mediterranean release commonly used in the UK and Europe.
Hey Jake. Glad you’re doing this series! As an NTS instructor who shoots barebow I look forward to your take on mixing the two, both for myself and my students. Thanks for all the effort helping us all become better archers!!
I love training along you through your videos. Extremely inspiring, I've rediscovered archery again with the barebow this year, thanks to you! Kudos, and can't wait for the series.
You have been an priceless aide to my improvement in barebow this past covid year. I look forward to this nearest series. However, heretofore when you have been talking about barebow it has been often in the context of string walking. Could you also talk about instinctual and gap shooting? Thank you so very much.
really looking foreward to traditional shooting form series. i watched the the first series on form on the channel and learned a lot. thanks for sharing!
Hi Jake, I find this series very interesting. I'm a level 4-NTS coach and I've been applying NTS to shooting barebow as well. Even before I watched your videos I had settled on a very similar anchor. Looking forward to seeing where you go with this.
Jake I want to see what you can do with a Bear Grizzly and a Selway quiver full of 2216's hanging off the side. Or even a 19" Satori shooting off the shelf would be fun to watch.
Perfect Timing, as i'm trying to adapt my shot process towards the BEST system and currently reading 'Inside the Archer', already facing some questions (maybe due to the german translation). Looking forward to your series and already curious if those questions may get answered or at least get some new insides from your perspective!
I would like to see you shoot a wood bow off the shelf !!!!! I bet you would shoot just as good!! I have heard a wood glass limb is more durable than a foam core carbon limb also a foam core deteriorates over time???? Not sure if this is true? Whats your opinion? Thank you
Recently found your channel, really appreciate your wealth of knowledge, and will try to sign up with Patreon - over the next few days - to support your channel.
Just saw you sign up, be sure to sign up for discord (it’s free) and attach the two so you can join the discussion over there! Thanks for the support and I’m glad to help you learn more.
Hello Jake, I've been following you for a while now and am learning a lot Thank You. About 20 years ago I had won a few local tournaments shooting compound finger style, and for reasons I don't recall I stoped shooting. Through random UA-cam channel surfing I watched finals at Lancaster that ignited a competitive spark at 63 years old.I just ordered a Galaxy riser because it was on sale and I have a cart full of the equipment that the fine people at Lancaster have suggested would fit my riser and goals. I have a question for you though , What's NST ? Thanks
Hello, i'm a huge noobie, started a month ago not even. You said you were going to do a series on Barebow, traditional and compound. What's the difference between barebow and trad? I have a Ragim matrix evo is that a barebow or a trad? Can I use all those teachings from the barebow form series and apply them to my bow? Is barebow just an olympic recurve without the mods on it? How does barebow compare to trad bows in performance like accuracy and power? Thanks for your time!
Do you think it is a bad idea to start straight at this method if I never shot before? My husband and I have been to a couple intro classes (those little 1hr experiences) but that is it. We are hooked and want to get into barebow... is this something someone with more experience should get into, or totally fine to be the first way of shooting for us?
Is he going to cant a trad bow? And then which one? Trad recurve, hybrid, longbow, English longbow, Asiatic bows, Mediterranean release, 3 under, thumb release.... This will be a very long journey Jake! And I'll be waiting for every video 👍
yes and no. compound is a different animal. unfortunately, I haven't seen a series anywhere near what Jake has done here for compound. The stance, bow arm positioning, head position, back tension are all similar. Because the compound starts out full strength and then lets off, the draw cycle is different, and the release is different. The best reference for compound I have found is Larry Wise book "Core Archery".
Your barebow form series has really helped my wife and I with our archery. We are fairly new to the sport and your coaching has already made a difference. Thank you!
Thanks for the kind words and the SuperThanks!

As a magician I have always practiced in front of a mirror and video my self. Yes it works. Looking forward to the other videos too come.

I’ve been shooting for a few months and I think it’s about time I learn this technique so I can progress. Thank you!

As new starter to barebow and stringwalking I look forward to the series. All of the videos I have watched are valuable. Jake thank you.

This is going to be GREAT.......Thanks Jake!

Great stuff, THX++
Applying KSL technique to compound bow is relevant to my interests! Look forward to your future video :)
Looking forward to see your barebow series.
14 Nov 2022. Started this journey =) =) =) Ps I recorded myself yesterday and omg, thanks for saying that I should not quit after watching myself :p
So excited for this - thanks Jake!
Hi Jake, I find this series very interesting. I'm a level 4-NTS coach and I've been applying
NTS to shooting barebow as well. Even before I watched your videos I had settled on a very similar anchor. Looking forward to seeing where you go with this.
Looking forward to this!!
Looking forward to seeing if any differences for longbow
Brilliant- thanks Jake!

Hi Jake - I wonder if I'm right that your tiller setup on a 68" bow is a 1/4" negative? Really 6mm?

Good job
Hi Jake. love your channel.
I've been wanting to ask about your arrows. which do you use and what type of vanes or fletching do you use?
Do you think it is a bad idea to start straight at this method if I never shot before?
My husband and I have been to a couple intro classes (those little 1hr experiences) but that is it. We are hooked and want to get into barebow... is this something someone with more experience should get into, or totally fine to be the first way of shooting for us?

We will all find out together!
Thanks!
Thank you!
Perfect
Jake, can this shot system be used for compound's too?
yes and no. compound is a different animal. unfortunately, I haven't seen a series anywhere near what Jake has done here for compound. The stance, bow arm positioning, head position, back tension are all similar. Because the compound starts out full strength and then lets off, the draw cycle is different, and the release is different.

@@rayking3466 Ray thank you for the info I will check that book out for sure!!
As a french. I love your channel. But.. .Vietnamese subtitles ?????
I have no capability to translate to other languages. I think UA-cam does it automatically but it takes time.
half way throw the video and still not showing much
It’s an overview. There will be 10+ episodes of detailed information to come.
All talk no help.
Thanks!
Thank you!
