- The third video segment dealing with Barebow archery equipment selection and setup.
In this segment, Coach Elton discusses important aspects of how the archers bow hand interacts with the bow to help beginners understand why the bow hand has such an effect on the shot execution. He also dives into deeper detail on the subject of bow weights before wrapping up the segment.
The newly introduced Printify Pop-up shop is available here:

Very interesting ands thanks for the information
Another great session …. Thank you for sharing!
Great info! Thanks for the video!
Good discussion on weights. One of the first thing I did with my weights was to change the center of gravity on the bow. Weights, as you pointed out, help with the low frequency the archer introduces while at full draw. Weights dampen that motion. Additionally, I have been playing with weights at the limb pockets to control the high frequency vibration of the shot.
If you do not PROFIT from the shirts how can you afford such pretty model ? Thank you for all the tips I love barebow and as a beginner the more info I get the more enjoyable is my archery journey and people like you make it possible
Awesome information. Thanks!
Great info as always Elton.
Hi!
I am just starting barebow after foing Olympic for a year.
My bow grip has always been a bit of a problem, but Im not sure how to get it right.
In your example, I can clearly see the difference in arrow flight but can't really see any big difference in grip. Is it more about the pressure than position in this example or am i missing something?
Thanks.
In my example, it was actually both. Position was exaggerated to be in the incorrect location, and pressure was exaggerated to induce riser torque. If you are struggling to find the correct placement and pressure, always pay attention to the reaction of the bow upon the release; as shown in my slow-motion video, the reaction will help you to understand what the bow is doing based on your pressure point location. Make minor adjustments to pressure point location to get a better understanding of what the pressure does on your specific grip based on your shot execution, until you get a desirable bow reaction. (Typically a minor movement of the bow straightforward upon release of the arrow.)
Should have paid closer attention to this earlier. Going through all of the sessions a couple of times is beneficial.
Does a barebow weight anything against vibration in the limbs or do i have to look for a dampener instead?
Effectively, no. If you have excessive limb vibration, and you are sure the tune is good, then the only solution left is to use stick on dampers like Limb-Savers to absorb residual vibration in the limbs.
Thanks Elton - you make continuing to learn about barebow fun!
Happy to help! 😎
Keep these useful videos coming gaffer. You may want to sort that shipping limitation out mate, barebow is getting big over here in the UK. 👋😁🏹 And I want one of those t-shirts!
I was actually just recently informed that the printify shop is supposed to support international shipping now. I have to work out the details though, so stay tuned!
@@barebowbasics I so will gaffer 😎🏹
Cool vids, any luck with getting the gear in tall sizes?
Not sure what you mean? Can you elaborate?
@@barebowbasics 2x tall sizes on shirts or sweaters.
Ahh. Let me see if that’s a possibility. I’ll get back to you shortly.
@@barebowbasics thanks
It looks like I might be able to get 2XLT short sleeve printed for you. Can you tell me what specific design and color you wanted?
I have to disagree with your definition as to the main function of weights added to the riser, the main reason weights NEED to be added is to balance the mass of the top and bottom of the riser. Most risers have more mass above the grip than below, just to make the sight window requires more material than the straight section below the handle. This means that when the string hits the limbs, the bottom of the riser moves faster than the top, causing the "kick back" where the top limb moves back towards the archer, by adding weight below the handle this can be balanced, leading to a neutral reaction. This is why manufactures have weights that fit inside the riser, not for increased stability.
As far as I am concerned, if you need to add weight for stability, then you should shoot an Olympic Recurve as the do stability so much better.
