I'm more of a compound bow shooter that recurve, but I do have a Ragim Matrix 62" take down recurve bow that I bought back in July of 2016. I took the sight off today and shot it from about 10 yards. Kinda scary because I'm used to using sights on my compounds and real close to where I want. Today I never missed the Yellow Jacket target, but was all over the place. I sure liked the light weight of the Ragim. It's rated 30# at 28". Now, I'm watching KZbin videos to maybe pick up some pointers. Like just now, I've never heard of "string walking" and didn't now about needing to hold the string farther down from the arrow as distance to the target increases.

Do all the barebow field shooters shoot 3 under stringwalking? It seems pretty common, and I'd like to learn it, but I shoot split finger exclusively, i think the 3 under just feels so wrong. Am i SOL then?
@sahnietiny7 жыл бұрын
Yes, they pretty much all shoot 3 under stringwalking to accurately hit the different distances in field archery. Give it a try, it might me weird at first but it is the most accurate way to shoot a barebow and it isn't too hard either! If you don't like it at all after trying it out, you could also try facewalking - it isn't as precise as stringwalking, but it might be more comfortable for you. Good luck :)
@georgeASD7 жыл бұрын
Im the national barebow champion from Mexico, l had shot everything and l can tell you that feels very weird to do stringwalking with a tab, this is because the tab is designed for static anchor under the face (the olympic technique). But if you use a glove instead, it feels very natural. There is an eternal debate about tab vs glove but for barebow in particular l recomend glove and a bow that is between 34 lbs and 38 lbs so you can aim carefuly, after all the max target distance is 30m so you need more accuracy than power. When you anchor with glove on your face, your anchor is less stable than the lower anchor used in olympic archery this is an advantage because your release is more sensitive so you can get a more precise shot if you learn to master that release. if you train to combine stringwalking with a good anchor (with glove), you will get incredible accuracy.

To each their own ofc, but I would not hate the tab this much, I'd even say it is wildly preffered in the world of barebow archery.

Yeah it's a great technique. Similar to setting your "zero" on a rifle, and then you can adjust your finger placement for range (like adjusting the scope for elevation), while holding the same sight picture (usually a 6 o'clock is best). It gives you the most consistency shot-to-shot.. but.. you need to get good at estimating range if you're out in the field or on a 3D course.

I appreciate the difficulty of tuning and shooting barebow as well as the lack of long stabilzers and v-bars that are on Olympic style bows ,but you state that there are no sights . I just see that the sight is in the string and marked tab. As you walk the string you shoot point on at all distances so the tip of the arrow is the sight. Just my thoughts though.
@NightWraith15 жыл бұрын
Yep. The tip of the arrow is your sight. You got it. String walking makes sure that arrow tip stays the same on the target at all distances. However, you have to also memorize your crawls for your current bow tuning at all those distances, and if you change your bow setup, your crawls will all change with it!

If you are going to string walk, you need to shoot with tab that has some markings down the length of the tab. You won't be able to do that with a glove. Gloves are usually used more by 'gap' and instinctive shooters. In competitive barebow circuits, you'll pretty much see everyone is using a 3 under tab with string walking.

@NightWraith15 жыл бұрын
First, btw, most Field tourney's for barebow are at 50m max. Olympic target archery is the 70m range, and uses the sights and stabilizers. I'll assume you can already shoot at some distance less than 70m. Start at 10 yards, or 9~ meters, learn to nail your form until you can tune your bow and put arrows in the 10 ring every time. Then, tune your bow so that you have a point on shot at 70m. You will need 40+ pound limbs at 70m to do it well, and skinny, light arrows with lighter point weights and SpinWing type vanes on them. Go to World Archery channel and watch the Olympic shoots, or the barebow shoots, either. Don't just watch them hit the targets, pause the video and stare at their equipment and their shooting form whenever you can. You will learn things from that. If you can shoot well at 18m, it's the same form at 70m or any other distance, with the difference being bow tune (you have to tune your bow and your arrows for different distances and shooting situations) and for outdoors, wind, humidity, and temperature which can all affect performance of the shot.
