Great video, confirms my sticking with Trad, It's my passion and my hobby, I want to enjoy it.

100% fair, but you are going to keep using it indoor - that's awesome!

There is a DVD on barebow called “Modern Traditional”. It’s excellent, 3Rivers of course

Mr. 3D archery is a traditional archer!!! NO selling out to Barebow for him.

Those at the top of their game, regardless of the field, will always have my respect. Never look down on dedication.

Thanks Greg I enjoyed the series. I gotta say though. A barebow is anything but bare. Why would they call it that?

I believe because it came from Olympic, and compared to one of those, it is a Barebow. Just another label I guess.

If you are having trouble with setting up and tuning your barebow I would highly recommend Chris Hills youtube video titled how to set up an olympic recurve bow parts 1 and 2. As a former Olympic recurve coach and competitor he is a wealth of knowledge on this subject and is very good at explaining set up and tuning from beginning to end. Other than the sight, clicker, tab, and sometimes a slight tiller adjustment for string walking, the setup for a barebow is exactly the same. this video is a masterclass on recurve setup and tuning recurves. It includes bareshaft tuning/walkback tuning to seventy meters, plunger adjustment, and troubleshooting plunger tension problems vs. centershot issues. If you watch this and follow instructions there is no other resource needed.

Thank you, my "troubles" came from gear breaking and not being able to get replacements due to being left handed. So, in the mean time I was forced to improvise. Very tough to une when you do not have the correct gear.

One of my bows is a ILF bare bow though it did not come with instructions the company I purchased it from was very helpful in setting the bow up. I opted not to install a plunger, just an elevated rest. Since my quivers has both fletched and vaned arrows one of my traditional bows (69 Bear Tigercat) has the Bear Weather Rest. I like my Bare Bow with its ILF Limb system. I have three sets of foam core limbs for it.

It all depends on the level of consistent accuracy one wishes to acquire. The plunger is primarily a tuning device but it also can be an aid that will add a few points when form goes awry. Peruse the plethora of competition Barebow YT videos and try to find a plunger-less bow. The same can be said for the arrow rest. Barebow string walking places a huge downward pressure on rests and a reason to avoid stick-on rests like the plague. Again, observe the arrow rests of competitive Barebow archers. Not a big cost for a Spig ZT magnetic rest, about $35, but fully competitive.

100% Agree!!

You are going to crash the EntireNet.

$100 bucks for a PLUNGER? They say you coming.

There are only a very FEW plungers worth using and all will cost $100-$150. Plunger functionality is CRUCIAL to good arrow flight and thus consistent accuracy. The ONLY ONE plunger that's useful for the novice is the Shibuya DX. There's a reason why Beiter is the number one plunger used in ILF bows. Using any other plunger is the same as using arrows with varying degrees of straightness tolerance. This is all about consistent target archery accuracy, no matter what the archery game.

You get what you pay for

Metric? No way!... freedom units. What is the most common size Ratchet that the whole world drives their metric sockets? 1/4 and 3/8 imperial units.

I tried it, I did not like it. To me barebow is great for certain things; competitive indoor archery, field and 3d but those are three things I have no interest in. I enjoy shooting recreational 3d and my archery is mostly for hunting so typically I am shooting my 50# Slick Stick for every thing from hunting big game, small game, birds, wing shooting, stump shooting, targets in my back yard and recreational 3D shooting. I do not even enjoy indoor archery, one bit, not at a range nor in my workshop. I cant imagine lugging a 64 inch barebow out into the woods trying to shoot a flushing Pheasant in a ground blind ... I also just do not like the feel of metal/carbon bows, at all. I am in no way an archery purest, I often shoot my longbow with a stick on rest and even do the dastardly thing of marking my riser with a piece of tape as an aiming/distance device but the feel of a wood bow is 100x better to me than metal/plastic grips.

I'm surprised you just didn't get it, Greg. All disciplines of archery (most other aiming sports included) require training for both form and gear, and it's no different with ILF bow risers, limbs, grips, plungers, rests, etc. You freely give out trad gear and shooting info that newbies would have a tough time understanding since their tackle comes with limited (at best) "instructions" other than "be safe". Barebow (i.e.-ILF bows) is no different, just a bit more complicated than Trad. To understand how plungers both work and require setting up depends on factors that would require a booklet that wouldn't do the subject justice. Dittos for magnetic rests. Add to this that videos are better than printed sheets and books. When you plunk down $100 to $200 for a plunger or rest, it's assumed you realize WHY you've purchased said component. Don't know why? Guess what comes next? Just as you offer help to the newbie trad community, you should have perused YT for newbie to BB sites - there are way more than a few, but here's what I consider perhaps the best one - www.youtube.com/@barebowbasics - all your questions, and probably lots you didn't think of asking (such as how to setup limbs on a riser - I doubt yours were setup properly) are answered eloquently by coach Elton Wong. Messing with ILF recurves is a whole different world than a one piece recurve, and I don't think you understood that from the get-go. Compare the 1pc wood Hoyt Pro Medalist I had back in the 70s with my Gillo GX riser and GTL-88 limbs of today. Totally different machines, but each with the same goal. I get it that your concept of trad 3D suits you, and that's great. Less components to set up. I'm with ya, brother - I love my longbows. And that in itself may be why yer adverse to Barebow. But truth be told, you failed Barebow, it didn't fail you. If BB's "complications" are the reason, that's cool too, stick with whatever floats yer boat, and that's way more than cool.

" All disciplines of archery (most other aiming sports included) require training for both form and gear, and it's no different with ILF bow risers, limbs, grips, plungers, rests, etc." Yes I know, what makes you think I do not know that? "You freely give out trad gear and shooting info that newbies would have a tough time understanding since their tackle comes with limited (at best) "instructions" other than "be safe". Barebow (i.e.-ILF bows) is no different, just a bit more complicated than Trad." I have to disagree, I make all my videos (instructional) for those with the least experience in it, I explain why I do what I do and why certain things happen. I never assume that they already know it. "To understand how plungers both work and require setting up depends on factors that would require a booklet that wouldn't do the subject justice. Dittos for magnetic rests. Add to this that videos are better than printed sheets and books. When you plunk down $100 to $200 for a plunger or rest, it's assumed you realize WHY you've purchased said component. Don't know why? Guess what comes next? That is a lazy excuse, period. So only people who already know should buy one? What about someone who is just getting started? Please, any good piece of equipment should come with instructions. My 1962 Ben Pearson bow came with a 18 page booklet that took you step by step on how to set up and shoot the bow. "Just as you offer help to the newbie trad community, you should have perused YT for newbie to BB sites" Again you miss the point not everyone can purchase things. And again if I had no knowledge of it, how would I know to purchase it. That is the problem, those in the know, forget what it was like to start. I have the opposite, I did nothing but work with beginners for 25 years, I know what it is like for them and that is how I approach things. "all your questions, and probably lots you didn't think of asking (such as how to setup limbs on a riser - I doubt yours were setup properly) are answered eloquently by coach Elton Wong." Your assumption is wrong. I did watch videos and they did not address anything from a beginners stand point and you are especially wrong on my limbs, I had Mike Ellis help me, he only placed 8th at Lancaster last year. He knows his stuff. Again it just goes to show that you are not looking at it from a beginners point of view. "I get it that your concept of trad 3D suits you, and that's great. Less components to set up." Wrong again, I have no "Concept of Trad 3D. I know that archery is many things to many people. I could care less how you want to shot or what you want to shoot, that is you and not me, we are different and I'm fine with that. "But truth be told, you failed Barebow, it didn't fail you." Never said it failed me, where would you get such a concept? I did not fail, when one learns, they do not fail. Sorry that you have such a closed mind, looking at it as failing.

@@notapplicable531 Not at all condescending. It simply is what it is when one isn't happy with one's chosen game. Has happened to me, that's for sure. Gotta put in the training efforts to reap benefits. Just own up to yer shortcomings and move on. Barebow is not for everyone, and so what? Back in the early 70s I competed quite well in compound for more than a few years and realized it just wasn't my game and THAT was my *excuse* to turn back to Oly Recurve and finally full on trad longbow. It's only been in the last year that I've gotten into the Barebow game. As Greg sez, ILF bows have a ton of adjusting that's critical for good results. This added complexity just isn't for everyone. And yes, leaving the game due to that complexity is an excuse of sorts. Again, not a bad or good thing. Don't play the game if you can't put in the required time and effort. It's really all good, take yer pick.
