This CAN and DOES happen with the RIGHT draw length.The problem usaully arises when you are doing exactly what he shows in the video,heis not rotating his forearm properly and he definately looks like he is trying to make it hit his arm.


There is NO WAY to say his draw is too long from the video but you can say his form sucks,atleast the form in his arm.

I should point out that this is a target setup and NOT a hunting setup.You can see the v bars in the video.Hunting clothes are not a concern for target shooters.


Hunters will shoot draw lengths that are too short alot when trying to clear their clothing.

I tried pressing #1 so I could hear the guy scream in English but it didn't work ! :eek:

On tuesday I was out at the range and saw a guy just sitting at a picnic table with his bow sitting by him. I figured he was resting so I just walked to my normal target. After about 30 minutes I started talking to the guy and asked him if he was done shooting for the day. He replied that his forearm was hurting to bad to even pick up his bow. I looked at his forearm and it was one big strip of bruises, abrasions, and blood. He had absolutely smoked his arm!

I agree with Tfox. He needs to learn the proper grip to get his left elbow pointing more to the left.

i was pretty disappointed to find out meanv2 doesnt make a CSS for front mounts:(

i feel that guys pain. when i first got my bow i hit mine a couple times...bad form was the reason...my draw lenght was good...just didnt know how to shoot a bow:) then i started hitting it religiously...because of the swelling! man will a string do a number to your arm...nasty bruise and swelling...i think i even iced it! havent done it since!! and shot 100000x better once i learned to shoot!

That was a very interesting video...thanks for sharing. As others have said...I didn't realize how much the string bounced around when hitting the arm...
