Default BowHunting Problem

I have a very long beard – like long...it extends about 25cm (8+ in.) below the level of my chin.
I want to begin bow hunting this year but I am having a few problems with the beard.
I can’t seem to find a good system to restrain my beard while shooting. I have tried tucking it into my shirt and this sort of works but sometimes it falls out and I have problems with bringing the string right against my face for fear it will catch on my beard and tear off of my face off. Also will not be good for hunting when I don’t have time to tuck it in before I draw on game.

Other ideas I am thinking of trying
- beard net
- face veil like most bow hunters wear
- braiding or similar of the beard.

Does anyone have any experience with this issue? Or know of anyone who might know of someone who shoots a bow with a long beard?


Please let me know
