String Alignment Explained for Barebow, Recurve, and Traditional

This is one of the most important aiming concepts in archery, but it changes depending on what you shoot. In this video, I break down string alignment for barebow, Olympic recurve, and traditional archery, including how to adjust it correctly, where to place the string blur, and how to keep it consistent through the shot. If your arrows are drifting left and right, this may be the missing piece. We’ll cover: • how to adjust string alignment • head position vs anchor • where to align on each bow style • how alignment drifts during expansion • advanced tips for cleaner groups This is a foundational skill every archer should understand. 🏹 Gear Featured in This Video W&W ATF-DX Riser – https://collabs.shop/o4ozkt AAE Gold Plunger – https://collabs.shop/rbftka Precision Tiller Bolts – https://usa.kaminskiarchery.com/products/precision-tiller-bolts Dampened Barebow Weight – https://usa.kaminskiarchery.com/products/dampened-barebow-weight Rinehart WAVE Target: https://collabs.shop/qmfnyv Easton RX7 Arrows: https://collabs.shop/kfioqm X10 Parallel Pro: https://collabs.shop/glsjgk Ram Rod Stabilizers: https://ramrods-archery.myshopify.com?sca_ref=4737911.rtEoDnO3TF Meta LX Riser: https://collabs.shop/wjmfrdAxcel Sight: https://collabs.shop/vuvnihQuiver: https://usa.kaminskiarchery.com/products/alpha-hunting-pack-quiver RCore Grip: https://rcore.co?aff=5 Use Code Kaminski at Checkout for 10% off all R Core Products!
