Yea so for a righty shooter, the left hand grabs the bow. I grab it naturally and then slightly readjust my hand to say 45 degrees and regrip . This moves my elbow away from the string. Fractions of an inch maybe? But doesn’t hit

Yes, from behind knuckles should be 45 degrees and not parallel to grip.  It rotates elbow out and gives clearance for forearm.   It’s really a rotation.

My grandson came over to shoot after we went and picked up his new arrows. For the first time he beat me on our target scores. I always try and shoot my best, no giveaway's. He's been close before, bu

Haven’t been shooting much but it’s time.  Not happy with two high and left.   But I have plenty of time to groove things.   Finally too that point with my longbow that I can stay relatively consistent even with extended time not shooting.   But back to it.

Trick I was taught was the following. Get in shooting position without a bow and hands at your sides. Pick your bow arm up so it's parallel to ground and palm facing down. Break your wrist back. That is the natural position to shoot your bow from. Elbow is rotated out of the way. If you bend your arm at the elbow from this position it should move horizontally not vertically.

I was bringing the bow up while gripping it firmly then adjusting my palm. Grip probably wasn't right and elbow wasn't rotated. Doing that exercise prior to shooting got rid of string slap.

Good advice. You are not supposed to adjust your grip when drawing or drawn back. I clip in my release,raise the bow and rest the bottom cam on my leg and get my hand onto the grip the way i am gonna shoot. Draw back and you are there.

Great advise  I was able to rotate and that's the ticket.  I shot some nice groups tonight!

Just to clarify. When I adjust my hand it’s before I begin to draw. It’s like a pre-draw routine check and then I begin.

Nice!  I love taking a few shots during lunch!

I'm feeling confident, that's for sure.  Just need to scout a few places and keep practicing!  Nice shooting and keep the pics coming!
