It could have been due to form or the bow had to long of a draw. Yes they do make a breast protector.

Not a suggestion: only for historical interest.
"Amazon" is from the Greek word for "missing breast."

http://tx.essortment.com/amazonswarrior_ryci.htm :

"From an early age Amazons were trained in the arts of war. Some myths and stories say that during adolescence a young Amazon’s right breast would be cauterised or entirely removed by her mother so that once the girl reached adulthood she could wield bows and throw javelins more accurately."

Grizwold,
Yes they make a device to protect the breast of a female shooter. I've usually seen these on the left breast of the right handed shooter. Your local pro shop probably has some in various sizes.


pj234,
I had to give up collecting these breasts upon getting married. The wifey frowned on it?[>:]

Here is a picture of geena Davis wearing a protector.
...and congrats on the busty wife.

Geena Davis prepares to release.

Well from one of the Bustey Women Shooters(38D), I dont have a problem with the string hitting the breast once I found the proper draw length When shooting a non steep angle, the proper draw length acompained by the proper anchor point should keep the string in front of the breast. There are Chest Protectors on the market for use in archery.
Where the problem for me learning a shooting stance that allowed me to keep the string off the breast so the string would not contact my clothing and or breast and throw the shot off,You would be suprised by how much the string contacting my clothing and breast was throwing my shots off, once I found the right shooting stance , that also caused me to find the right grip, wrist position, bent elbow and shoulder position to open up my stance a little, I also found a slight twist in the waist towards the target would bring the string up off the breast a bit.
I also found that by raiseing the draw elbow at full draw causes the bow shoulder to drop some thus helping to drop the breast away slightly from the string. I did have to spend some time learning to ajust my shooting form at a step angle from a tree stand, the stepper the angle the more the string would contact my chest, its just one of those shooting positions that I had to work thru and dont think I could even begin to explain how I solved it, SORRY.
I can tell you that a sight level did wonders in helping me , a off plum bubble started to tip me off to the string contact situation when I knew it wasnt bow torque.
I hope your wife has a great time shooting with you, and enjoy your time together shooting, best of luck .
