But he set the draw to 29". I'm not sore from drawing the bow but either the string or the fletching is hitting my forearm and is bruising me with a rash. Iv shot the bow 3-5 times a week for maybe 6 weeks but I gave up on sighting in the bow. The sights adjust on every axis. But if I have the sight all the way down for the top pin to be where it needs to be the fletching hits the sight. Maybe I should give it another try this week. And I was sold arrows that the guy said were perfect for the bow.
if your getting forearm slap and feather contact,
somethings wrong,
for the forearm slap, try shortening your draw, less extension on forward arm, may move it out the way, can also try changing your stance, dont face the target but stand almost 90 degrees to it,
or could be as simple as wrist position,
for feathers contacting the sights, that may be the root of the problem,
try changing cock feather position, from cock up to cock down, vice.versa.
when shooting, is the problem consistent? like arrows hitting bottom left more often?
or are arrows all over the place?
