RE: Popping forearm, Do I need...?
After the last two years of welts on my arm and being worried with every shot on a deer that I was going to hit my clothing on a shot, (which is really bad and almost always results in a very low shot) Two days ago I shorten my drawlenght about an inch (3/4"). Haven't hit my arm or even been close since. I really wanted to keep that power stroke but not at the price of a miss or wounding game. My Patriot is really dialed in and ready for season. I only lost 5 or 6 fps.
Good Luck!
