Question about being "slapped on the arm"???
Question regarding being slapped on the forearm with bow string. Can being slapped close to the wrist area of your left arm be an indication that your string has stretched over the years? My cousin was shooting his bow this weekend and feels that when he does get the occasional “slap on the arm” from his bow, the mark was usually further back towards the middle of the forearm. Now when he gets slapped, its close to his wrist area. The theory of the string stretching over the years sounds logical but I cant honestly say that I know if that’s causing where his string hits him. Improper mechanics within him? He is shooting a PSE bow that he has had for many years and hasn’t had the string changed within the last 5 years. Any insight would be helpful.
