Got My Bow Back

[Deleted Account]

I dropped my bow off at the local shop yesterday. I wanted to go back to horizontal sights and a Whisker Biscuit. I've been shooting this bow about an inch short, and he happened to have the mods to bring it back to a 30.5 DL, which is pretty much spot on for me.

Had a Custom Bow Equipment Tactic 3 pin and a Whisker Biscuit Kill Shot installed while it was there.

I got it home, and after messing with the gang adjustment at 20 (I'll work on sighting in another day) and taking a pretty good slap on the arm after the DL adjustment, I'd say she's grouping pretty well.

I did that with my first bow a couple times.70lb draw and a nice 4 inch 3/4 inch raised welt I learned to buy an arm guard lol

I had my coat on, but it was a solid enough slap to still get me. Reminded me real quick that I need to watch my bow arm position I never had to worry about it when I was shooting the short draw.

Just a suggestion, but usually when one has string contact with  their forearm  it’s a indication of a bit too long of a draw, or closed or neutral stance with foot position.

Yes, new to me this past winter. I've wanted one since they came out, and I happened on one on Craigslist in January.

It really is a great bow, I have no regrets on it. Having a familiar set-up on it now with the new sight and rest makes it way more comfortable for me.

I got string slap when I first bought a compound. I can’t remember who, but someone on this forum suggested I grab the fridge handle or a doorknob and begin to turn it. You’ll see how your arm moves away. Those fractions of inches means no string slap. You shouldn’t need an arm guard. Just tweak your form and you’re good to go

I think that was a standard beer thread post

If you use the heel of your palm or have too tight of a grip, the bow can torque causing arm slap.

I only wear an arm guard when I bow hunt . It keeps my long sleeve shirt tight to my arm . I don't have any problem with string slap . I must be doing something right .

Lots of time before the season but going to old familiar equipment is good at times. Comfortable means repeatable. Nice group. Dead deer.
