Puffy camo - bowstring hang up
 
Do you guys do anything to prevent it? I have shot in the past and had my bowstring catch the front of my poofy camo. Has this happened anyone else?

OPtions:

1. Don't wear poofy camo. :D
2. Something to flatten out poofy camo.
3. Ignore #1 and #2 and hit poofy camo.

If you use binos, a nice snug fitting bino harness can hold your clothes into your body better, or you could just get some camo that fits. ;)
It actually COULD be a bit of a form issue if you shoot with a very closed stance......open it up a bit and suqare your shoulders a bit more to the target, but realistically you want to be able to shoot in any position from any angle and not have to worry about popping a jacket.
I saw my buddy Frank shoot at a chipshot doe at 15 yards and whack his Poofy coat.......he had a better chance of hitting that deer if he threw his bow at it. ;)

they make special clothes to avoid this problem. or you could just put a little rubeer band on there or some type of a scrunchie around where it hits. thats what i used to do before i just went out and updated my collection of camo
;)

Update: My poofy camo is on my chest, and there are no leaves attached (or there weren't when it happened).

i dont use puffy stuff but if i did id prob wear a arm guard on the outside of the sleeve then it shouldent hang up but if its catching the chest area then it could be your form or the jacket is to big ?
