Oh
!!! Had to grab my bow and try moving the position of my grip, forearm, etc. to see the relationship while at full draw.
My youngest daughter had some trouble with string sting when she first started shooting her Parker Buckshot. Her arm actually hyper-extends at the elbow when holding her arm straight. We tried shortening her draw length, maybe we should work on adjusting her grip instead.
THANKS TFOX
You will see this with alot of girls.Just like the girls seem to be left eye dominant and right handed more than boys.
She is most likely locking the elbow if she is hyperextending it.I don't promote locking the elbow but some coachesdo.I am not a certified coach but have been coached by a level 4 coach.If you look at recurve shooters,alot of them lock their elbows but a recurve is different than a compound.Just a tad bit letoff.
There is also a chance the draw length is too long.
I can hit my arm with bows that are way too short on draw if I don't turn my wrist properly,and I can shoot bows that are too long on draw with no problems when my arm is right.My bow is actually pulling 28 3/4" right now,which is a 1/4" too long but I am having no trouble shooting it with my hunting clothes on but I also use an STS.I shoot better with a little bit longer draw than I do with a draw that is a little too short.It cuts down on lefts and rights.I am a little backwards of normal.
I am getting ready to twist a little to get my draw back into my specs.It just feels better and I do shoot better at 28 1/2"
We tend to want a little shorter draw when hunting because of clothing and shot situations.The picture is of TARGET form and shortening up a little is probably considered "correct" for hunting.
