Default RE: Bow string slap (Ouch!!)

ORIGINAL: Tazman

I used to do it until I wised up and started shooting open handed, I am sure one day I will do it again, but I sure hope not! Butch that is a nasty welt, I never had one even close to that!
Taz, that picture is not my arm (Thank God!) [&:] Someone else had their bow cam wheel explode on them. I just have a basic red welt that looks like two postage stamps end-to-end. It's fading rapidly, so it doesn't bother me.

I always shoot open handed, but, this particular time, my wife came out the back door and said something about going to the store. I just remember hearing a "Hey, honey", just as a hit my release. [:-] I think I grabbed the bow hard, torqued it, and also turned to look at my wife, all in the matter of 0.32 seconds. S-L-A-P!!! is what I felt down my arm, as I was horribly out of position and startled all at the same time.
