How to shoot a straight bow arm & not hit it with the string

[@BibtheChib]

Ok, I'm a traditional shooter and your explanation of the wrist torque motions has just enlightened me to something, thank you!
Bless the diversity of Archery 🙏🏼

[@iceblueeyes9455]

Its called canting your bow. Now if you shoot with a mechanical rest. Canting cant be done or your arrow will fall off the rest. But if you shoot off the shelf you cant the bow to see your target better.

Yes, it's perfectly okay to move your foot angle closer to 45°, and also tilt your elbow so that it points away from your bow!

[@iCantPickaNamej]

@@BibtheChib i also just realized that if i lean my head a bit over the arrow once I'm at full draw and line up my dominant eye over the arrow my shots are gold! I'm about to save my city now! Lol

Also, it helps to rotate your elbow to the outside and slightly flex the elbow inside of locking the elbow. Locking the elbow, especially with those with more flexibility can place the forearm in the perfect position to get slapped by the string. Cheers👍

[@Ayce47]

That's the first and mostly only thing you should do.

[@lancerd4934]

I'm self-taught and did this intuitively. I've never had a string slap with compound, recurve, or longbows. Didn't even know it was possible until a friend took up archery.

It really sux when you're shooting 85-90# bow. I did years ago when I was shooting aluminums.I switched to 70# when carbons got good & also, shot ACCs.
PS Many/some women shoot 90o for chest protection.

[@theHighlander92]

[@mattjack3983]

Yeah that string is no joke. It'll tear you up. The chest hurts the most tho. It sucks to have that string slap your chest. Wait til that happens lol. But she's right..proper form is everything, and it fixes that problem. It really only happens when there is a breakdown in form.

[@timdoyle9981]

Just bought a modern compound bow after 15 year's and I'm feeling a bit hesitant about my first draw on a new now so thanks for the info. Now I have to get the hang of bow sights for the first time

[@mattjack3983]

I'm 41, and I've been shooting bare recurve takedowns and longbows since I was about 10. It saddens to hear when an archer goes over to the dark side and picks up a compound bow.

[@matthewhenthorn3343]

Just wear an arm guard. It's been around since the bow itself.
Also, standing side on helps line up your shot, narrows your silhouette and puts you arm structure behind the bow for a more reliable draw base.
I'm an archery instructor, if anyone is wondering, and I shoot traditional.

[@RP-zw9yj]

Problem is I don’t see a “traditional” bow on the video… she is describing very informative options techniques for compound bows only.

[@aluriana]

I'm with you on that Matthew.
The problem with this is the title and explanation doesn't clarify any specific kind of bow, as if it will effect all kinds.
If they use traditional this will reduce power of the bow, potentially give inconsistencies with drawing and lining up shots.
Plus the BIGGEST tip that should be given is to rotate the elbow so the the flatter side of the arm is more exposed to the draw line of the string, instead of having the arm poorly rotated where it leaves the bulge of the arm in the way of the string

​@@PaigePearceinsight hello

[@Uno707]

Another quick tip for beginners to get the elbow straight. Bend your fist into your chest then extend into your bow arm position. Note the position of your elbow and repeat when shooting.

[@jimmyv1753]

Thanks weirdly not what I was searching for but since you mention it. Yeah I don’t want my arm beat to death by the string. It occurs to me that if the string was doubled on the opposite side it would put your arm away from that snapping string. Just a thought as a beginner and novice. I have literally only fired one arrow to date and have a ton to learn and can’t wait to get at it. I’m sure there is a reason it’s done this way

[@aubreywebster8580]

So, I train archers for a living. Though all of these techniques work, you can also just rotate your elbow downward. By doing that, you can keep your shoulders in line with the target and maintain bone on bone contact from shoulders to the bow arm wrist. This allows the archer to brace the bow using the bone structure rather than by having to just use muscular strength. It is the same reason standing with legs straight is easier than squatting. Also, I saw a few people say that with compound you have to shoot with a bent elbow. This is not the case. You can get the same balanced feel with the arm straight if you are properly aligning shoulders, push into the grip, and maintaining pressure with the draw arm directly behind you (essentially maintaining connection with back muscles). As long as the draw length isn’t too long and the stabilizer weights are balanced with the holding weight, you will be fine. Look at most high level competitive compound shooters. Most shoot with a straight arm. Not all compound shooter shoot with shoulders aligned straight to the target. Many can get away with this because of a low holding weight. However, if you are a recurve or long bow shooter, this is not the case. The straight line has to be there or you risk injury as well as consistency at long distances. Regardless, cool video 🙂

[@PaigePearceinsight]

I have a video that specifically covers elbow rotation. It’s another one of these short things. For the average person they don’t have that problem but for the people that do have a hyper extended elbow I wanted to make a separate video just for that. I am one of those people lol.. so I know the struggle all too well

[@PaigePearceinsight]

I am agreeing with everything you are saying, but I have other videos covering most everything you just said in that comment haha. I am also one of those top level shooters you are talking about, I’m not just pulling this out of my butt 🤣😊

​@@PaigePearceinsightwith a compound you can get away with alignment like this, but you need proper alignment to shoot a recurve with any kind of accuracy. Posture in your hips, back and chest also have a significant effect on string clearance.

Well being shes using a competition bow which is obvious along with her outfit but hey if she was using a trad bow or a bow without the 3 stabilizers then I could see you putting that but its so much in the vid that shows she's not hunting with that bow...maybe she does hunt but I can promise you she wouldn't use that bow thats setup up for competition...shes a target shooter i presume but I could also be wrong im new to archery but this just my take on it

[@mattjack3983]

Proper form is everything. If your form is shit, you can still be fairly accurate and consistent with a compound, but not so much shooting traditional, and you won't be as good as you could be with proper form. Even so, getting nailed by that string will still happen occasionally. It just comes with the territory. Maintaining proper form thru-out the draw and release will help keep it from happening very often tho, as it only seems to happen when there is a breakdown in form.

As someone who does medieval archery, I fully agree with the elbow out, bow at the wrist, altered stance. However, has anyone considered a bracer? Plain or fancy, they’re great at protecting your arm, for people who can’t alter their stance for best form and strength in a non-compound bow.

[@iceblueeyes9455]

Get a recurve. Or longbow. You can kannt or tilt them. Compound bows and release aids are arm burners and nipple burners. For women that are well chested. If your getting burned use a chest protecter. If your arm gets burned get a long arm gaurd. I highly reccommed this to any women that is going to try archery.you get burned you will get string shy. And your girlfriend won't be shooting long with you. This girl in the video has niether on. But i respect her advice. Another thing girls shoot with a pony tail or hat.
