Thanks Jake. I have just started Bare bow and already dont like my nose being flicked by the string. So happy to find an award winning archer suggesting an anchor that avoid nose flicking.

I shoot traditional hunting style bow in a traditional club in Switzerland. The club concentrates on 3D shooting mostly but we train on field targets. I tried to shoot barebow first, but because i was the only one i changed to traditional. I tried the high anchor like most do in the club. Since i copied your advice on the anchor i feel much more comfortable. Even it makes it more difficult for gap shooting on shorter distnances, it makes me shoot more consistent. I have no point of reverence on my hoyt satori bow like some other bows have, like a flat upper bow window. So i shoot more intuitive. The whole sight of the bow window gets to be a more of a subconscious point of reference and i shoot by feeling. I soon started to improve. Also i try to use the tipps you gave on the bow hand extension when shooting the bow and it made a huge difference. I can really lock the anchor solidly with the thumb bone to the jaw bone. Since i just shoot since the beginning of the year i‘m very happy with the results. I try to shoot 4 times a week. Another friend who shoots longer than me also applied this anchor and he shoots very tight groupings. So even for trad shooting this channel helps tons. There are so many confusing channels out there so i just unsubscribed to a lot of them and stick to Jake Kaminski. We have no coaches in the club, it‘s very easy going. So i try to apply as much as i can from this channel

Jake, I am borrowing your barebow anchor. I shoot a compound a lot and have been using a nose button for an anchor point. In the past I have struggled with the tooth anchor by constantly hitting my nose or lip. That had made me gunshy of releasing arrows for fear of hitting my nose hard. Since using your technique and anchoring the string on my nose I have been shooting the BEST I ever have with barebow and feel it is very similar to anchoring my compound. Thank you for all of your videos they have helped me tremendously.
@adamkilroe98404 жыл бұрын
Hallelujah! Thank you Jake! I had it drummed into me to anchor to the centre of the chin and nose as target archer. Short drawing hurts! Everyone's draw length and therefore anchor point is different and is determined by the relative lengths of forearm to upper arm, and width of shoulders. My forearms are about ½" short compared to my upper arms, so my anchor point is not naturally at my chin, it's further back. So I also anchor with my proximal thumb joint at the very corner of my jaw, giving a very consistent reference in all axies. I only really shot barebow for clout (which I love). In the UK, there is still a tradition of vertical hand positioning on the grip, and on the string, with conscious external rotation of the elbow bow arm to compensate, and anchoring to the very centre of the chin. I love your techniques, and let's face it, if they didn't work, you wouldn't have got two silver Olympic medals.

Hi Jake I changed to a lower bare bow anchor after shooting with a traditional one for about 10 years with longbow. I am right handed and always shot with my right eye looking down the outside (left) of the arrow. After shooting barebow recurve this way for for a few years I realized that it was completely wrong for me and went to a similar anchor to yours. This brought my alignment into a much better place now looking straight down the arrow shaft between the string and the riser. But it also allowed me to shoot the longer shots without having to gap over the target, I am still crawling at 50 meters with only 35 pounds draw weight.

Long time traditional shooter, hybrid longbow off the shelf. I love how you explain, with logic and examples, why you do something. I've read instructions on shooting from lots of the old time greats. Howard Hill, Byron Ferguson and the like. It's fun to find where they explain what they do, then compare how you present the concept from the KSL shot cycle. For example, Ferguson said he uses breath control to explain Expansion. His method uses how he breathes, he explains to drop the diaphragm and fill the abdomen with air. Once at anchor, keep the back involved and inhale more to fill the lungs, this allows the chest to expand and forces the string arm back just a little more. Obviously I can’t follow the whole KSL cycle, but I’m trying to pick and choose what translates over. Thanks for a great channel!

I've been practicing with this anchor for a couple of months now and it's really falling into place now. I can see all the advantages that you have explained, but it took a while to fully understanding the importance of fully pushing in behind the jaw, once I worked this out my groups reduced significantly. There's one other thing that I'm doing with my anchor after watching this and some of your other bare bow videos: Making sure that my index finger is pushed in just above my jaw and my second finger is pushed in just under my jaw. These two things are now giving me a very consistent anchor - thanks Jake, I don't think I would have ever worked this out without your tutorials.

I had people tell me I needed to anchor higher and I did, I felt like I was scrunched up but shot pretty decent, I never could get that nice comfortable feeling, started having shoulder issues and noticed I kept hitting my nose. Never done that with a lower anchor or any shoulder issues, my lower traps would get sore but I knew I was using my back.

Good video, Jake! Indeed there are a variety of barebow anchors out there, including yours. The importance is getting three hard contact points to lock the head position while achieving good alignment. Individual anatomical proportions will dictate the ideal anchor. Two thoughts regrading the index finger in the mouth anchor - first, smacking the nose often means that the head must be rotated more towards the target and, second, the higher anchor can reduce the max crawl length. Of course, this depends on things like neck flexibility, facial width, and nose size. It also depends on your point-on distance and your preferred game. For WA/USAA target archery, you only need to nail up a few distances. For field archery and 3D, a wider range of distances are shot, so one goal is to minimize crawl lengths where possible - often this is achieved by face walking and gap shooting and sighting off riser landmarks for vertical aim. The cool thing about barebow is that it makes you really understand how your bow and body works, and use every trick in the book to make that shot. I have even seen some get away with string walking using an Olympic anchor - it could work with light draw weights and heavier arrows. For me and my current setup, my PO would be about 90m and I would have a crazy long crawl for shooting short distances.

Hey Jake! Love your content, especially the barebow ones as I am a barebow shooter myself :P The "traditional" anchor was, for the same reasons you mentioned, weird to me as well. After a lot of trial and error I settled on an anchor position where the tip of my thumb sits in the corner of my mouth and my thumb knuckle is pushed up against my cheek bone. Now, the string touches my mouth and the tip of my nose. Thank you so much for your insight into your barebow journey. I think that because of your professional career in olympic style shooting you have a fresh and new perspective on barebow archery and, ulitmately, evolve the sport and push things forward. Keep up the good work and best regards from Germany!
@greenhoodedvigilante4584 жыл бұрын
The main advantage of higher anchor, I think when someone shoots traditional, specially when using gap shooting method. If I anchor lower on the jaw line, the arrow is much lower, almost outside my sight zone. That's somewhat difficult when shooting with gap method.

Good stuff man and As long as it works for you and you get good results it’s worth sharing. Head movement must be repeated the same each time which can be tricky. We try to minimize or even better remove those movements with other forms of archery so why not Barebow? I find that it’s easier to not move my head at all to help firm up anchor and alignment, same anchor with thumb behind jaw but barely any contact with index. If my form is right I don’t hit my nose. I have found that the key to my alignment is is opening the stance, utilizing core and maybe even slight hip rotation to find the ability to relax and enjoy the aim. ~Frank

Jake Kaminski if any it’s minimal at best for those who do it with the most consistency . The NTS for both recurve and compound teach to avoid it if at all possible. Facial feature and body structure determine ability to limit it. If it works run with it, you can’t argue with results. Personally I don’t want to have to repeat to many other steps, target panic is enough to deal with. For coaches teaching kids I would avoid the head movement bit, they typically don’t hit their nose or have contact issues. If your posture and alignment are good, contact isn’t a huge issue most often. Big crawls result in contact for me and many others I know but that might not be true for all. We are all built different and that has a big impact on contact. ~F

Perfect timing Jake, thank you. I have found recently that a similar anchor helps me to 'hold' more successfully without elbow creep, which in turn has helped ease target panic (phew!)... the less moving parts the better! The better alignment, particularly through the drawing elbow, also gives me a much cleaner release (less plucking). Thanks again Mate, much appreciated as always.

Lower anchor point feels much better but aiming is more difficult. Have you ever tried gap shooting? Looking forward to more videos from you how you adapt your process to Barebow/traditional!

He makes us shooting with a full Olympic rig look bad. His anchor is low and the same at all distances he doesn't string walk either. he is accurate up to 40m and got a gold medal a couple of years back competing in the bare bow class in China a few years back. i asked him how he aims and said that he looks at the middle of the gold and his front arm knows the elevation and his body does the rest.

I have been having similar issues. I have been shooting with one anchor at 18M and 25M and another at 30 up to 60Yards. I would like to have one anchor which is the anchor under my jawline and do away with the higher anchor entirely. In order to use the higher anchor I bring my nose into play, and to find a repeatable anchor spot, if find I am short drawn and out of alignment. I have been worried about the excessive crawl I would need to shoot at 18M under the jawline. The crawl is so big that my thumb is almost not flexible enough to get a consistent crawl. I think I would need a 1 5/8 inch crawl to do it which is 16 marks on my Yost tab. My thumb is at such an angle it is hard to see if I am being consistent on the stringwalk. More importantly though, I have wondered whether such a large gap was putting too much pressure on my limbs and what it would dictate as far as my tiller and BH. Thanks for the videos Jake.

If you anchor lower your tiller could go to even minus value. I always set the dynamic tiller for 25m (tips are on the same line at full draw), and this gives me 0 static tiller. If you crawl more the 25m goes down, so tiller would be also. If you see a (very) slow motion barebow release, you will see that only the lower limb pulls the string, as low you go this period will be longer.

Hello, At last !! Finally I now have an exterior (and reputable) source for the anchor point I have been using for the last 15 years. Having back problems, the "usual" (sort of) hunched position has me in pain after every competition. Standing "head high" and a "hard" rear anchor on the jaw bone, just under the ear, is far more comfortable and in my view, more open. Indeed, the back is solicited but this is correct, as any competent recurve archer will tell you, if you really want to be consistent. As for alignment, I have no need to tilt the head any as the string is just on the side of the nose. I do have a question though. Do you clench your jaw during the shoot to prevent "jaw creep" seeing the jaw is very mobile ? Thank you for your videos. They are a massive resource for me in my coaching of barebow.

When I allow my hand arm and shoulder to pull straight back away from the bow my shots are more centered left to right ! I have to think every shot through before a draw the bow , bad habits are hard to break !

Its funny facts, when you start recurve lesson, some ppl said, to many equipment, too monotonous, every ppl its different, etc etc. Then when you start someting else, there comes other ppl said , your anchor is bla bla bla, no need followtrough etc etc 😅 Same..

It’s really making sense to me. I kept getting pushed out of alignment by my chubby face when I raise to anchor it’s annoying.

Would it make sense to use a weaker bow just to reduce your crawl? How much of a difference would it make say going down 5 lbs? Thanks for the great analysis as always.

Great video! Archery, Trad, Barebow, shoot what works for you, let the keyboard coaches keep their opinion to themselves. Everyone has an opinion for what works for them.

Weird question here. If a dude has a big beard, would anchoring like this cause the bowstring to rip your beard out, or does the string just move forward and not do anything?

What limb dampeners are on the bow you’re holding? They look nice and low profile!

Keyboard Coaches.... yup plenty of them out there. What works for you, works for you. Plenty of differences in form in barebow that works! Everyone is unique so the one size fits all method does not always work.

Sir, my tiler distance is 5 cm. If it's suitable for bow tuning, I use a positive or negative tiler, if it's negative, how much is it, if it's positive, what's the right tiler?

Wow I anchor pretty much the same way for barebow and coming from olympic style, I can see a pattern here. For some reason I feel it very natural and pleasant so that kind of helps me be consistent.

As a raw novice I find myself NATURALLY using my chin as an anchor point for the top of the first knuckle of my thumb just before release. Is this wrong?

If the 2021 Lancaster Classic happens are you gonna go and shoot in the Barebow Division?

What is your anchor thumb doing? is it under your cheek or under your chin?
