I think it definitley caused his shot to miss by that much, cause you can hear it slap the sleeve really loud, and my hunting clothesare just as bulky as his was, so it go me thinking.

I watched the same show. His shot sailed about 1-2 feet over the back of the deer.
Does string slapping the arm cause an arrow to fly that much off course?
I myself have never needed an arm guard but some people do depending on your form.

Only with my longbow or recurve. Back in the day I just took a black sock and put it on my bow are forearm to hold in a bulky jacket.
Now I don’t use anything, I get no slap with an STS and good form.

Yep when pre-season practicing and when i gat anything other than a t-shirt on . String slap hurts and my saunders definately helps .

Yep, wear one similar to this all the time. May try that sock as well. Looks like it would work.

I do if I am wearing a heavy jacket, but only to keep the clothing held down. Honestly I have never had the string hitting my clothes throw a shot off though, it just makes a lot of noise is all. Normally if you missed you probably would have missed anyway.
