Ever wonder how an Olympian sets up an Olympic recurve? We asked Casey Kaufhold to share her process, and you can follow along here from total breakdown to complete setup.
I genuinely loved your stabilizer mounting method. I have never used an Eye-Bolt. I have always modified my long-rods to contain an extra extra long mounting stud. HOWEVER, I am super impressed with YOUR setup, which has REVERSED where the `male´ stud sits. You've given me something to ruminate on. 👍😇
Loved the presentation, Loved your voice. Absolutely HATED the stupid repetitive [so-called] background atmospheric `music´. After 2 minutes, it became severly distracting from your otherwise delightful demonstration.
Thank YOU!! This is the most thorough, well-explained, and overall helpful walk through of bow assembly and tuning I have experienced in my two years of shooting. Somehow “thank you” doesn’t seem quite enough. This is pure gold.
That info was all really good. Found some other confusing stuff online in other videos and this helped clear it all up and make it easy. Looking forward to setting up my bow, problem is now I have to learn how to release correctly and I’ll be good :) just tuned my compound and looking forward to my Olympic!
Turning your weight/tiller bolt while bow is strung is a bit of a risk. The steel bolt will be wearing down the aluminium of the riser and could strip the thread.
Newby here! Do you have to retune every time you unstring your bow? Alignment and all that jazz? If yes, how long can you safely leave a bow strung? What do people normally do? And I mean recreational shooters... I imagine high level archers that are shooting every day don't really need to unstring it all that often? Thanks for any insight!
You don't need to retune each time you unstring and restring. You'll get a bit more consistency if you make sure the number of string twists stays the same - use a paperclip or a plastic string keeper for that. Don't leave your bow strung up for weeks on end; the limbs will eventually weaken and shift. Overnight is fine though.
Thank you so much! I'm European and been practicing archery for 2 years but the people in my club don't really teach much so I'm going out and seeking this kind of information myself.
Excellent video! Great camera work. Easy to see and hear, but still plenty of attention to detail. I hope you make more instructional videos. You're really good at it.
I’ve been away from archery for a few years and coming back into it. I’m also a lefty (yay!). This was a nice primer especially on alignment and tuning. As I need to build back up in strength I will be changing out for weaker limbs until I get my form back.
