I should add that he shoots an older bow, probably ten years or more. It is fairly long by todays standard axle/axle length. This is probably why alot of newer archers will never have known or heard of this problem. The new mini bows with their 30 inch axle/axle have too sharp a string angle to get near your chest. Try an older bow with about a 44 inch axle/axle and you will know this phenomenon on occasion. Ask a competitive recurve shooter and they will know what you are talking about.
