Now turn your knuckles so they are horizontal (across).
Notice what happens to your elbow. It turns out.
Try adjusting your grip on the bow so your knuckles are almost horizontal. The only part of your hand that should touch the grip on your bow is the heel of your thumb. Your palm should not make contact with the bows grip.
Shoot with a open /loose grip also!
This was my problem starting out. Verticle knuckles!! Once I focused on having my knuckles at least at a 45 degree angle in relationship to the ground, the slap was gone. You can go horizontal if you want, butr make sure you are at least 45 degrees. And be consistent with that grip once you find what you like.
