What I carry in my bag: Serving thread Lighter Needle nose pliers Swiss army knife Gin Disguise (for those bad shooting days) Cat food (for the club's wandering raccoon) Gin (for when the first gin runs out) 1/4 inch socket driver (because you never know) Condoms (because you never know)
Thanks for the tips . I only miss dry bag from you list. I shoot 3D and I highly recommend it socks, spare jersey, stool and plum brandy (for medical purposes only).
Oh man I really felt all the items for dealing with heat! My first tournament was in Albuquerque in August. It was 101 all day and there was pretty much no water around. (I’d even brought like 4 liters and was still begging for water by the end of the day)
I have a small bottle of baby powder in my case very useful when I apply new fletching (spin wings with tape) to prevent the arrows stick together. And a small foldable umbrella.
Hi Jake. I'm only just getting involved in archery and your videos have been a great resource. One piece of equipment that I haven't seen much info on and thought maybe you could cover some time in the future is bow strings. In particular, how many strands should you use in regards to draw weight. I believe it comes down to what material you are using but that again is another section that would be nice to see some info on.
@@JakeKaminskiArchery I'd be really interested in a video on strings. Thinking of getting a 27" riser to have a 72" bow and those strings are a bit harder to come by pre-made and only doing archery for a year I have no idea what to order if I went the custom made path.
Didn't know about the vanilla body spray. Taking vitamin B supplements also works well. We just used to use Dave Case. The bugs loved him and left us alone, you could see where he was because of the towering cloud of midges, mosquitoes, horse flies, and every other flying bitey pest above his bald head. I remember a lady called Alison was at full draw once, and a bumble bee flew up her skirt. It was very off-putting, as we couldn't shoot for laughing as she danced and squealed like a hippy having a bad trip.
Ok, now that you've mentioned your preferred footwear for archery, how about some video on that. Our coach says that the best shoes are slippers and sandals ...except they're not quite legal for tournaments. He also very much dislikes air max type of sneakers, though I've seen archers on world cup stage wearing them. I wonder what's you're take, what shoes are best for archery?
Jake please can you send a link for your bowstring organiser pouch? I cannot find anything similar anywhere and I am in desperate need of one - strings everywhere!!!!!
I might be able to answer this. The two most popular styles (by far) are called "target quivers" and "field quivers". Which one you use is up to you. Whichever one you use, you will get used to it, and you will become comfortable with it. I say this from experience. Both types sit on your hip. From brand to brand, the main differences are in price, durability, and the pocket layout. Easton is fairly well respected, but many brands are good. check reviews for durability. Target quivers hold the arrows at a fairly low angle (30°-45° from vertical) with the fletchings in front of you. This lets you see all of your arrows while you are drawing. Target quivers also tend to have more storage space than field quivers, since they tend to be longer. Many of them also have easily accessible slots for your bow square, and a pouch for your finger tab or release aid. Field quivers tend to be smaller, and therefore have less storage space. They also hold the arrows at a more vertical angle, with the fletchings behind you, where you cannot see them without twisting around. This makes it easier to avoid hitting your arrows on things when walking around, which is why they are popular. Most people with field quivers also wear an extra pouch on their belt for their tab or release aid, since the quiver doesn't have one. One thing to note is that with a field quiver, your arrows can sometimes poke you in the shoulder blade as you anchor. I find this annoying, but it can be fixed by just moving the arrows and quiver to the right position. This was long but I hope it helps.
Once in qualification we had a person wear an axe body spray and the smell was so intense that every person within 15 feet could smell it. It was really distracting so the judge had to resolve the issue and it didn't end pretty.
What I carry in my bag:
Serving thread
Lighter
Needle nose pliers
Swiss army knife
Gin
Disguise (for those bad shooting days)
Cat food (for the club's wandering raccoon)
Gin (for when the first gin runs out)
1/4 inch socket driver (because you never know)
Condoms (because you never know)
Disguise haha
condoms haha
😂😂😂❤🏹💘
Thanks for the tips. I would never think of boots covers even-though I actually use a special pair for cycling :P.
Honestly when I open UA-cam on my phone and a new video that you put up is right there
Nice 👍🏻
Dental floss makes a great serving thread.
That's a very neat string pouch. You can see every string. Where can I buy one? Thanks Jake.

Sunscreen and hydroflask/yeti are always great to have when practicing at the range. Hard lesson learned on the first day of practice.
i swear by yeti.. i love them
Eye drops 💧Not sure if you’ll see tho but I would be interested in a part 2
Sorry to hear you lost your sister to sun cancer. Condolences Jake. Be safe 👌❤️
Great suggestions most I already carry with me.

Will do!

Great ideas Jake. I missed a shot last year because a bee flew into my ear when I was at full draw!
Those were great tips..... Vanilla spray huh.... who knew. Thank you Jake.

I’ll do a video for sure.
I've found that skate shoes offer a good balance between ruggedness if you are outside and good contact with the ground.
Hey Jake. What and where do you get the big blue string bag in featured in the video?
It’s from Gillo unsure if they sell them
I saw the title in the alert, and I stopped everything to watch this. Friends looking at me funny......I’m like leave me. Lol

It is from Gillo, not sure if its actually for sale, Frangilli gave one to me once at a World Cup.
@@JakeKaminskiArchery ah no worries, thanks for getting back to me about it.
I'll start harrasing Frangilli... 😂
What quivers are best for different shooting (indoor, field, etc.). What do you use? What have you seen others use?

Whichever one you use, you will get used to it, and you will become comfortable with it. I say this from experience. Both types sit on your hip.

Have y’all considered rice for wet tabs? I’m curious how well that works. :)
Works in a pinch but desiccant is far faster and more absorbent.
Jake Kaminski oh cool! Thanks. ^-^

Axe body spay is one notch above a chemical weapon.
Better then some of the other chemical weapons I have gotten a whiff of on the line...
Nice Share 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you! Cheers!
i don’t think the majority of this outdoor season is still happening but this is good info regardless
Just apply for 2021 hopefully.
My countries outdoor season 2020 is shutdown by covid19... All championships got cancelled yesterday. 😷
Lots of places will be for quite a while. Now you can be prepared for 2021!
Stay safe BTW.
@@JakeKaminskiArchery Thanks! You and all other archers with families stay safe too...
@@kalumeet1 i dont have a family so i guess i can just die
@Tyto Rubio - Of course it's your decision, but I would suggest not...
Don’t forget the toilet-paper, especially if you are going to a gymnasium in Eastern Block Europe!
You forgot the toilet paper and purell
Well considering it’s all gone, I left that one out!
Am i the only one who carrys a fletchung jig in my bag
