How To Make Your Own Finger Sling for Archery | Shoelace Finger Sling DIY

[@LeonVenediktou]

For Jake's finger sling on a shoestring budget search for "Oval" Shoe Strings; because in archery we need to know that there are flat, round, rawhide and oval shoestrings. I did and I am excited it's in the post from our favourite global dominating super store... Thank you Jake!

Exact this anwer I looked for just yesterday.

FYI, the loop you make when putting the sling on your fingers is called a larkshead knot.

[@yossmin]

Great video, I alway use a finger sling made of paracord, I will try using the string you mentioned. Would you consider making a video of how you personalize the bow grip and what materials do you use for this? I would appreciate it very much

[@TracyPicabia]

I think he's planning doing another one but here's a bow grip build he made earlier kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKLLiYuwaJaqbrM

I have been watching alot of your videos and have really like them lots of invaluable info and am a subscriber. I was just wondering about finger slings and up pops this video perfect timing and good info Thanks. Darren

[@davetighe]

Great little informative tip, I'm not sure how long it will last, but I just got it to the correct length and melted the two ends together into one continuous loop, as I didn't like having a knot. 🙂👍

[@Vincerama]

Make sure to measure and write down how long a string you used!

[@theodorewood9784]

Great instructional

[@michaeldelay600]

I heard good things about you so I thought I'd check you out. I wanted one of these . I'm impressed! New subscriber

[@elmoreglidingclub3030]

Good stuff. It’s these simple things that really add to the enjoyment of shooting. Much appreciated!!

[@ghstz7191]

thank you

[@allgoodluck168]

Thanks so much for the tip on the loop direction! My fingersling kept slipping off my thumb and i had to keep catching the bow, now i know why and can fix it!

[@dylanfrancisbravener8513]

Thx for the info!

[@xGaviJax]

9:38 "It takes me a lot longer to get it on". That's what she said. NVM, great video :)

[@chadgreen100]

What length of lace are you starting with before you cut it in half? The Amazon link (Thank you for that) has multiple lengths

[@geselkvehkherjavinemgrande3693]

Hello, How long is the fingersling in centimeters? Because sometimes i made it too long or too short.

[@williamjasper6509]

OK this is way off topic but I would like to understand something for myself and maybe others out here in KZbin land. I'm a brand new barebow shooter who's coming from the compound world and I have an equipment question. With my compound I use a Spot Hogg Edge arrow rest that delivers incredible accuracy for me. On my new riser I've mounted a plunger and a magnetic wire rest and adjusted it to shoot very well. It seems to me that it would be prone to get out of adjustment very easily if bumped around even slightly. Is there something that precludes and or hinders the same accuracy if I mounted the Spot Hogg to my new riser for barebow shooting? Again just consider me stupid since I'm just learning the ropes for this, thank you.

[@spankymagee]

You just need to pull out the core of a paracord and will have that hollow-feel lace but it will last a lot longer.

[@lissahime]

Would this work with a samick sage recurve? It's wooden riser doesn't have an obvious place to loop it.

[@JakeKaminskiArchery]

Yep! Just wrap it around the grip area like other bows.

[@lissahime]

@@JakeKaminskiArchery thanks! Struggling with torque so I'll give it try

[@garymickus6412]

I wish I would have learned this in elementary school!

[@chaitanyakakara1438]

Thank you for india ❤

[@verofpv6152]

So a bow wont swing unless it has a long rod on it?

[@calamitynudex1473]

Tq😎👍🏹🥇🇲🇾

[@ddeboy002]

Is a finger sling legal for bare bow?

[@jonpersson7059]

Yes, at least for WA Barebow. (World Archery)

[@Redsnake7819]

I use a cotton shoelace. Its short enough to avoid the need to cut it and very comfortable on the finger than nylon.

[@BrettWhite-d6d]

So, do you recommend tying your own finger sling when you are on a shoestring budget? ;)

[@wanr5701]

Any reasons why recurve archers tend to prefer finger slings, but compound archers tend to prefer bow sling?

[@RafelioPsi]

Wan R because compound is... you know.....

[@ferret1252]

Well, for compound they dont need to drop there bow, just keep the bow there, and it originates for hunting. In recurve, they need something that will allow them to drop the bow.

[@Sardothien]

A few reasons. The others here are correct. Compound bows don't jump out of the hand as much as recurves, so they don't always need to have a sling at all. The reason wrist slings are more popular than finger slings is because compounds tend to be much heavier. Having that much force pulling on your fingers hurts. Recurve archers tend to prefer finger slings because their bows swing and it's usually more comfortable to follow through with a finger sling than a wrist sling.

[@87MrNacho]

just went through the whole process, was honestly a waste of time. Just buy a finger sling from an archery shop, its more comfortable, easier to get on and off and it has adjustable slides and so on. They cost a few bucks. Save yourself the hassle.

[@davidhall8874]

Seriously I spent the first eight minutes asking "what the hell is a finger sling?" I really think you are way over the heads of many people!!!

[@niallwildwoode7373]

Yup, I still don't know why I'm supposed to need one.

[@Moogle]

I mean its pretty obvious, he explained the bow jumping forward. The sling lets it jump forward without falling on the ground and you get the swing motion because of the fingersling otherwise it would just fall on the ground. SInce if you are shooting well you shouldnt be gripping the bow after you shoot it should jump out. Its not his fault you havent watched any of his other videos stop whining.

[@superscatboy]

​@@niallwildwoode7373 So you don't drop your bow. You don't want to grip the bow when you shoot, as you'll impart unwanted forces to it which will make your shots inconsistent. You want the bow to fall out of your hand naturally, so it's consistent every shot. The sling just prevents it from dropping on the floor and breaking.

[@jolllyroger1]

Just another gimmick that people think makes them shoot better... lots of fads that stick around because people think it helps.... just grab the dam bow and shoot straight... the bow jumping out of your hand can never make tig shoot better but what ever

[@allywilkeforsenate]

If you are grabing the bow before the arrow leaves the rest you will torque the shot.

[@stevehunt4660]

Ok.....

[@niallwildwoode7373]

​@@allywilkeforsenateThat makes sense. NOW I know what they're for, as the vid didn't state it well enough.

[@Moogle]

clearly dont do olympic recurve if you think that, absolute idiot.
