BJ, was just the meaty part of my forearm till I started playing with brace height. When I had it braces low, mid forearm to wrist fell victim. I don't hold my arm straight either. Haven't had a problem with slap in a very long time. I think it is the way I'm holding it, although I'm unsure what I'm doing different, but it feels different in the hand, and I think I'm adjusting my grip odd or something. I may have my wife video me to see. Bad part of it is that I can shoot Better than my average with it and I hate the thing ::) I'll play with it some more sometime when it don't hurt lol.
loon:
Grip a bit more askew (rotate arm+hand clockwise for a right handed shooter), increase brace height slightly, use an FF string?
Eric Krewson:
I have one of those arms that the string always finds on a release. I used to make my bows with the string a little to the rest side but found the alignment would literally wear my cordova arm guards out. I am making them now with a centered string and get much less string slap.
bradsmith2010:
a thick arm guard will fix the probem,,it maybe be the way you hold the bow with the heavier draw ,,, but arm guard is the answer,,
DC:
Does anyone have a slick way of telling if the string is hitting your arm guard. I thought i would cover it with chalk but I've oiled the guard and chalk won't stick.
