Default 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.
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).
