Nice bow and ur arm ..... not so nice lol.

RE: My new bow and the mistake i made
 

If the bow fits you correctly as you say, you shouldnt get any arm slap unless your torquing the bow slightly. Make sure your bow arm is slightly bent on full draw. Post some pictures of your form so thoes of us who have been shooting for a few years can help you improve your form. It really sounds and looks to me as if its a form issue or the draw length is a bit too long causing you to torque the bow. Give us some pictures from the front, two sides and the back, and if possible one from above.

thats not very nice!

RE: My new bow and the mistake i made
 

i did that when i bought my new bow. with very little practice i took it to 3D shoot. turned out the draw lenght was too long. by the middle of the round
i had slapped my wrist once or twice, needless to say it started swelling, and i still had alot of targets left. it was a long day.

You ready to sell that bow yet? Maybe I'll ask again in a week or two. JK

Try an arm guard until you figure it out.


When you grip the bow, your palm should NOT touch the handle. Just the heel of your thumb should be holding back the weight.

nice bow. i know how that bruise feels. i use to have a oneida and the lower outboard limb got the inside of my thigh while i was shooting from my tree stand at a steep angle. it tickled for a while.

RE: My new bow and the mistake i made
 

ouch, throw some ice on it...

RE: My new bow and the mistake i made
 

i'm proud to say that never happened again...after 3 weeks of shooting i'm hitting 12's at 54 yards on the african lion at 3d shoots:D
