Arm guard noise? HELP!

(1/3) > >>

Bentstick81:
 Hunting season is almost here. When i shoot my selfbows, when i release my string, i get a lot of string noise when the string vibrates against my arm guard >:(. Especially the leather one i have. I need help figuring this out soon, because hunting with that noise is going to spook deer, maybe causing them to string jump my shot. The string is just barely scraping the arm guard. Sort of like a guitar, it vibrates against the arm guard. The only place that the string hits my arm is right where a watch would be on your wrist, bout where the wrist meets your hand. Thanks

Scowler:
Do you bend your bow arm elbow when you shoot?  Maybe you could open up your stance a little?

FlintWalker:
I wear one of those sock looking do-hickies to hold my sleeve out of the way when I'm wearing heavy clothes. When I ain't wearing much I don't use anyhting. Wear what ya need to when you're practicing,  but leave it off while hunting. One good quiet shot when it counts will be worth a little sting from the string

johnston:
Could your brace height be too low? New strings that stretch while shooting sometimes give me the same problem. Goes away when the brace hgt is corrected.

Little John:
The string can only go one place, it is up to you to not hit the string with your arm. Try not to throw your arm or wrist into the line of fire of the string. Maybe bend your wrist or elbow a bit or hold onto the side of the handle a bit more. I know I did not say this well  but your arm is in error not the string. Good luck.                              Kenneth
