[cavetroll]

Perfect timing. Just before bed and the new video appears 😂

Thank you very much for great tutorials. I am new to archery, and your video helped me a ton. I find your YT clips even more helpful if I watch them again after trying few rounds of shooting with new accessaries like stabilizers, plunger and etc.

Another great video. Right at the moment i was start doubting my plungers functionality! I take your tips right to the field tomorrow and see how it will work out. Advanced last week from the 18 to the 30 meter target after doing archery for 3 weeks now. Todays topscore was 6 out of 12 in the yellow 3 in the red and 3 well lets say... they hit the target somewhere else... Every day i try to shoot for at least 1 hour and if possible up to 3 hours. I love it more every day and starts to become allmost an addiction. Hope to enjoy it for a long time to come as well as your informative videos for newbies like me. Got my first bruise today when the string somehow went behind my protector. Guess i didnt turn my arm the right way. Lesson learned.

Appreciate the info and how you broke it down. No longer shoot with a plunger, but will reference this to aid other archers and their setups. Thanks!

Great content as usual. Thank you Jake from this beginner barebow archer from Indonesia

[mariareid]

Thank you Mr. Kaminski.
This video is a good follow-on to the video on plunger setup, that you did 4 years ago (sadly, that video provided very little assistance with regards to how and when to adjust the plunger).

This video is very much appreciated!
🙏🏼

[UndulatingOlive]

Thankyou, very straight forward, not a long video, almost exactly what I need

[RainbowArcher]

Thank you for the video!

I'd love a video on shooting in a new string. Covering things like the brace height changing because the string is settling in.

[beaurasmussen]

No you always for the great share as this something that I've been looking at adjusting but wasn't too sure on how best to go about it 👍

[adyaelrivera]

Thank God I was already wondering when the new video will come out

Hey Jake,
Thanks for this short Video for tuning the center shot. I tuned my Bow with your long tuning Videos and i like this short ones much more.
I would like to see videos about your training as active archer. Like how did your days Look. Strength, cardio, cordination and All the stuff you did beside shooting. And how did the shooting Training look? Warm up, shooting, cool down. And on what did you fokus on your shooting?

[fervensmortis]

Great info and video! Would it be possible to do a video on types of arrow shafts? You mentioned barreled arrows in this video

[danielbear]

Thank you for this video i found it after watch 20 videos with people holding them but not showing what it does or even where it goes.

[Arwndr]

Thanks, Jake! ☀️🌿✨
Can you make video for clicker explanation?
And why some adjustments for berger plunger can do that effect of hiting clicker?
Thanks!

Thanks alot for this video, got my first bow about 3-4 weeks ago and the guy said he tuned the bow for me. But my arrows keep flying left (the nock heads right) - so i am definately going to adjust my plunger spring and see if it does any difference. These videos are great for people (like me) who have a long day at work and a family at home, which makes it impossible for me to go to any archer club. Nice simple and straight explanations with confidence 👍

[esnevip]

If the plunger tension also influences arrow tune, how does one know where to set it for it to be 'neutral' to conduct arrow tuning with bow weight/point weight/arrow length without chasing ones tail?

[krozoarchery]

Thanks for great video, usefull info.
Could You please explain difference betwen limb lenghts? I`m shootin 68 inch bow, but for me it could also be 70 inch bow. so whats the main difference, and also there is some myths what need to be busted.
