Hoyt WebClips #4-Straight Arm Disorder.mp4

[gvman3670]

Man, I shoot straight armed (as do over 90% of pro archers) and I never slap my forearm. Not even with a heavy jackey on. It's not the bend in the arm, it's correct DL and hand placement on the grip that prevents the raspberries.

Trust me, slapping your forearm with the string hoyts.

String slapping the forearm skin is one thing, slapping your hunting jacket requires an extra margin of accomodation, the most practical reason for using an armguard. The quest for speed, via low brace height and long draw length, no doubt causes a lot of misses in the hunting field due to string/clothing contact, negating some of the advantage gained by flatter trajectory.

I agree with Travis that the long draw length will certainly cause the string to slap the arm no doubt. I also agree that excessive hand torque, or improper grip can cause arm slap, and I agree with the grip he teaches. Knuckles at a 45 degree is exactly what I teach. The elbow part is subjective though, as shooting a bent arm is not the only way to get adequate clearance. Many shoot with a shoulder stance that is too straight at the target. Open up the stance some and this will likely go

Cool video

Made me realize my left arm needs a tweak next time.

Cuz hell, it can hurt.

Especially when you hit it more often.

Thank god for leather. ;)

Ah that explains why I slap my arm from time to time. I get to much torq on the grip trying to keep from hitting myself and in the end I only end up turning the bow into my arm. I will have to remember that next time I am out shooting.

is that guy shooting, catfish or mudcat, from the monster bucks dvds?

[firefighter31750]

Yeah, thats him, channel cat is what they call him in the vids.

[stvebnny4]

sweet, i knew it. thanks dude.

[wolverine9331]

Ya I love these vids!

Btw...thats not how you spell bruise:)

[stvebnny4]

if you watch any of the monster bucks dvds, you would get that spelling joke. T-bone sends out invitations for the annual 3d shoot to mike waddel, bill jorden, and david blanton, and mispells just about every word. it'spretty funny

[byronwp]

that is a lot of good info mr travis...
