As of late, there has been a lot of talk between compound
shooters, gap shooters and instinctive shooters as to what is archery. The
intention of this blog isn’t to try to define what form of hunting is “Barebow”
or set the standard from which everyone else has to compare their style to,
rather we are here to embrace the differences within the spectrum that the
barebow brings. I honor and respect the commitment
of the hunter that only shoots a bow that was crafted with his hands, while at
the same time enjoy the precision of a machined aluminum, and carbon ilf bows. There
is a freedom within the Barebow community. Archers, who love to watch the arch
of an arrow as they are punching foam at 60 yards to ensure they will have the
confidence to make a 40 yard shot under pressure, are as free as the person who
limits themselves to 25 yard shot , and prides themselves to get as close to
that animal as possible. The term Barebow encompasses both spectrums and
everything in between. I believe that all of us who have chosen to hunt with a
Barebow can learn from one another. The gap shooter has something to share with
the instinctive crowd and the instinctive crowd has something to share with the
gap shooters. Rather than using these techniques to divide us, we should relish
in the diversity and gain from other perspectives.
I have asked people that are at both ends of the Barebow hunting spectrum
to consider contributing to this blog, as our goal here is to learn. In this blog we will
visit points along the whole spectrum of the Barebow Hunter, and by doing so
gain valuable insight regardless of where we are in the barebow world. So sit
back, enjoy, learn and contribute. If your new to the Barebow Hunting Life Welcome!
We are glad to have you here, and there is no need to think you have nothing to add to the community because you shoot a compound. If your interested in Barbow Hunting you are a part of the community.
Thanks For stopping by…. Nate Bailey
