I was practicing in the yard and talking to the mrs not watching my form. I put some ice on it, all you can do right? Its hard

Could mean your draw length is a little too long if it happens often.

Consider it a right of passage. There aint a bowhunter on here that hasnt done that. Mine usually come up as blood blisters.

throw an STS on that bow and will help that from happening.its a rubber stopper on a stabilizer bar. it will keep the string from flexing past the start point.

You most likely hit your arm due to a cocked wrist and poor arm alignment when shooting. A very common error. When the bow is properly gripped you will not hit you arm anymore. The best way I can try to explain this is that you cock your wrist back when holding then grip forcing you arm forward where it gets hit with the bow string. Try holding you elbow slightly bent and keep you wrist from bending backwards as you draw and hold. This should correct the problem. Hope this helps, good luck!

It is illegal for someone to distract a hunter hahahah just joking man and it was your wife too, just be more careful

 

[JERSEY BOB]

If you think that sucks, wait 'til you hit the black and blue with the string....[cry]

[Grits N Gravy]

I see your playing with your new toy.[hihi] That'll happen. I don't shoot year round and it almost always happens to me the first time I practice in the summer. Just a subtle reminder to watch my form. I correct it and it doesn't happen again ('til next season at least)...lol

 

[njgunner]

not talk to the old lady when shooting.
