A hunting bud of mine is having probs with string hitting his chest. We are trying to figure out how to solve the problem. He shoots a release. As he has been shooting the bow for a few years, and the problem only recently surfaced, is there anything he could look to as the culprit?
Any suggestions are appreciated.

does he have 10 inch protruding breasts? I really can't see how it is possible for the sting to hit someone's chest.

Never heard of someone having the string hit their chest. If I was gonna guess I would say its a draw length issue, maybe if his draw is to long he is somehow getting his chest in the way. He may want to contact George Castanza and purchase a Bro that may give him some more clearance.

The guy is a little round in the middle, but no more than normal. I thought that maybe he has too long a draw length. Could it be something he is doing as far as shooting form? I have done this a few times and I'm pretty thin, but only on rare occasion does it happen with me. My thinking is that it is a combination of a little too much draw length and stance. I think that if he faces the target a little more head on it will change the geometry enough. He may be facing too much sideways to the target.

It's a Manziere!!!

Draw length is too long, stance is too open, too big around the middle, maybe locking out his bow arm and he's probably leaning back to boot. Try him with a bow at least a couple inches shorter in the draw. Have him move his back foot forward to turn his shoulders more to the target. Keep the elbow unlocked with maybe a slight outward bend.

If all else fails, he can buy a chest protector to keep his stuffin's out of the string.

I believe they call that a girdle

yeah his stance has to be wrong for his body.... have him try experimenting with it.

has to be his form

I thought this was another Martin bow ad post

I'd almost think his dl is too long and he has to compensate by "over drawing" which results in a titty-slap.
