Thanks for making this video available for anyone to watch. As a new archer that's starting off with barebow this conversation was extremely enlightening.

This really helped me out in my limb tuning. After watching this I checked and my limbs were off about a cm or 1/4" off center. I did the rubberband and two arrow trick; bam I got it centered! Im crushing it now at least for 20m! One less thing to tune and now I can focus on my release! Thanks so much!

Another very good video. After reading Martin Godio’s book ‘the art of barebow shooting’, Frank does one of the best jobs in bringing Martins material to life. Having one of the best if not the best barebow archers alongside Frank really is the next level of coaching for us barebow newbies.. Please continue with your excellent work.

I’m about to setup my first barebow rig and this will help a lot. Thanks for posting this!

Much needed Barebow discussion. Thanks, guys.

Loving the bit about plunger and centershot. My setup is like Demmers; I always felt weird it wasn't classically in line, but it got the better results. Love you all are breaking it down as pricniples and starting points, then experimenting and adapting from there.

Now I see..thanks

Great instructional video. I looked for the early human tuning forks, but found they're no longer available. Sooo, I got busy. Bought two 3inch magnet disks, cut 2 5inch 1/4" all thread and four nuts. Bolted them together. Then cut a six inch flat strap into two 3 inch bars, then bent each end to a 1/2" right angle u shape. Used with bieter blocks i got a string, bow limb alignment system.

What are the limb alignment gauges being used here?

Where to buy a tuning fork. ?

Where do you find those tuning forks

What is the weight you are using as a bow stand?

Very useful video guys. Thank you very much. Affirmed a few things I always had doubts about. And a few things that I didn't know. I never considered moving my centershot away from the center like that... Question... When JD does that, am I to assume his string-blur when he shoots is to the right of the arrow tip? (I set my string picture with the string-blur to the right tangential 3 o'clock on the arrow tip... do you guys do the same?)... Thanks again

Where does one get the hockey puck bow stand?

On the first bow, what brand is the large diameter stainless barebow weight?

Where can you get the alignment gages I have the the bitter (yellow ones ) talking about the other ones

Regarding limb alignment, how do you know the riser you're working with isn't twisted?

U can see....no I can't
