hitting the arm(help!!)
help!! My bowstring keeps hitting my arm. Doesn't seem to effect the accuracy, but it makes a loud slapping sound and hurts like crazy. Bending over helps but i hate it(feels like i'm falling). Anybody have any ideas. Thanks.

Besides brace height (I'd set it to the outward recommended limit), you may want to take a more open stance, don'tshoot witha locked out/extended bow elbow, rotate your bow elbow outward, not downward. Also your grip/hold could be effecting your arm slap.

Rotating your bow arm elbow out instead of down (most people have their elbow pointed down naturally) will help a lot. It also helps you keep from locking out your arm, and you won't have to change anything about your grip.
