String slap

<< < (2/3) > >>

Jon_W:
Where is it hitting your arm? I know I have recently been working on my shoulder alignment which helps with string slap. If you are interested, google "Arne Moe Archery" and watch some of his videos. He is a USA Archery Level 4 NTS coach and he explains bow arm alignment really well.

never have a problem with string slap when I have good back tension and an elbow just bent enough to keep out of the strings reach

Allyn T:
I'm hoping with practice it becomes a non issue. I def need to do a lot more shooting

HH~:
Not about bending your elbow, its alighnment of shoulder and how your front side pronates the elbow. Yer wheely guys often shoot with elbow pointing down. With that shoulder/elbow position with a trad bow you'll get string slap. Pronate elbow on fronstside out to 9 Oclock  using the shoulder. I think there are some video's where fella comes up to RMS from Colo SPRGS and does a good form pointer. Could be Moe or some other Olypic Trnr.

Or you can  hump up like a monkey on a beachball and shoot sideways. See this all the time. I always wonder how they do that out a climber in a tight spot in cedar tree?

Allyn T:
Well that's prolly why my elbow is pointing down I've only ever shot compound
