If your barebow crawls aren’t perfectly repeatable, your arrows won’t be either. In this video, I cover some of the biggest mistakes I see barebow archers make when string walking. These aren’t problems with your tune or your equipment. They’re small inconsistencies in how you measure and hook your crawl that can move your arrows several inches downrange.
You’ll learn:
* How to start every crawl from the same reference point
* Why measuring to the same part of a mark matters
* The biggest mistake most barebow archers make with their fingers
* How to build a repeatable crawl routine
* Why tiny differences on the string create big differences on the target
Whether you’re new to barebow or already competing, these simple changes can make your crawl more repeatable and your groups much tighter.
If you found this video helpful, consider subscribing for more coaching videos covering barebow, Olympic recurve, tuning, string walking, and archery technique.
