Ok, I'm a traditional shooter and your explanation of the wrist torque motions has just enlightened me to something, thank you! Bless the diversity of Archery 🙏🏼
Its called canting your bow. Now if you shoot with a mechanical rest. Canting cant be done or your arrow will fall off the rest. But if you shoot off the shelf you cant the bow to see your target better.
Have only just started archery and this is the problem I've bn having, should see the bruises I've got on the inside of my fore arm right now. Thanks for the vid. Good info
Yeah that string is no joke. It'll tear you up. The chest hurts the most tho. It sucks to have that string slap your chest. Wait til that happens lol. But she's right..proper form is everything, and it fixes that problem. It really only happens when there is a breakdown in form.
Just wear an arm guard. It's been around since the bow itself. Also, standing side on helps line up your shot, narrows your silhouette and puts you arm structure behind the bow for a more reliable draw base. I'm an archery instructor, if anyone is wondering, and I shoot traditional.
I'm with you on that Matthew. The problem with this is the title and explanation doesn't clarify any specific kind of bow, as if it will effect all kinds. If they use traditional this will reduce power of the bow, potentially give inconsistencies with drawing and lining up shots. Plus the BIGGEST tip that should be given is to rotate the elbow so the the flatter side of the arm is more exposed to the draw line of the string, instead of having the arm poorly rotated where it leaves the bulge of the arm in the way of the string
Thank you for the info, i shoot a compound bow and was scared to extend my bow arm cause i have hit my arm alot with the string and this has helped me alot, thanks again
The shoulder thing is 🔥. I already knew the hand trick because my husband taught me that. But the shoulder thing. I'm going outside to see if I do that now.
Thank you so much I love bow hunting and I’m 13 and I was trying to get to find a tutorial for my moms friends son because he didn’t want to listen to me
Get a recurve. Or longbow. You can kannt or tilt them. Compound bows and release aids are arm burners and nipple burners. For women that are well chested. If your getting burned use a chest protecter. If your arm gets burned get a long arm gaurd. I highly reccommed this to any women that is going to try archery.you get burned you will get string shy. And your girlfriend won't be shooting long with you. This girl in the video has niether on. But i respect her advice. Another thing girls shoot with a pony tail or hat. I've seen girls get their hair pulled out.
My DL is 26"ish but I played around with my bow trying 28.5. Thought I'd take one quick shot and bam, hard string slap from my 70# NXT. Arm swelled up almost an quarter of an inch, the radius of my palm. The subsequint bruise went halfway around my arm. I will always use an arm guard from now on lol 🏹🤠👍.
Hmmm I have never seen anyone teach bladed/angled stance in archery before. At least not Olympic archery. More often than not we tell people to rotate their elbow to not get string slap since it's always at that spot. So I guess the question is would the angled stance affect your total draw length? Also would the change in angle the bow is facing. Would that cause you to crane your neck more into your shoulders and thus torque or tense your neck a bit more? Just curious if these things are things of concern, or just problems that have little effect on shooting.
@@BibtheChib i also just realized that if i lean my head a bit over the arrow once I'm at full draw and line up my dominant eye over the arrow my shots are gold! I'm about to save my city now! Lol
@@mikeford963 no I'm right eye dominant. I'm hitting closer to center now after this change. Another issue i had was i want planning the arrow under my right eye. It was offset to the right in my cheek instead so my ai point of aim was ridiculous lol
@@iCantPickaNamej yeah, and often what happens there is you "pluck" the string, with causes a lateral motion of the string on release, complicating things even more.
It really sux when you're shooting 85-90# bow. I did years ago when I was shooting aluminums.I switched to 70# when carbons got good & also, shot ACCs. PS Many/some women shoot 90o for chest protection.
Same here bein bow hunting/fishing for 15 years and went threw a few arm guards won a few comps and still get slapped im to the point I almost don't even notice it
@@bobbyboucher7426 yea I agree and I know I have bad form but I've had no issues in years on getting any deer or fish my best shot was 67 yards on a whitetail
Good luck doing that when you're hiking through the bush or stalking an animal on the go and you got to take a whatever shot you can get you're not going to have time to sit there and align your feet and everything when I'm shooting I've been my wrist out just a little bit and it keeps my arm away from the bow string
Well being shes using a competition bow which is obvious along with her outfit but hey if she was using a trad bow or a bow without the 3 stabilizers then I could see you putting that but its so much in the vid that shows she's not hunting with that bow...maybe she does hunt but I can promise you she wouldn't use that bow thats setup up for competition...shes a target shooter i presume but I could also be wrong im new to archery but this just my take on it
Also, it helps to rotate your elbow to the outside and slightly flex the elbow inside of locking the elbow. Locking the elbow, especially with those with more flexibility can place the forearm in the perfect position to get slapped by the string. Cheers👍
I'm self-taught and did this intuitively. I've never had a string slap with compound, recurve, or longbows. Didn't even know it was possible until a friend took up archery.
These tips will help for sure. I usually just suck it up till the tears come!! Got to the point where I would drink a few shots (Johnson&Johnson shampoo, no tears formula) so I wouldn't seem so weak in front of others. But no more!! Cant wait till tomorrow to try these out. Thank you very much.
I've been loosing my arrows at a 45-degree stance, give or take, my whole life, and always wondered why people always talked about arm slap since it never happened to me.
didn't. Just got my recurve bow yesterday. My arm guard is coming today so I really expected to have a red arm yesterday . I probably took around 40 shots yesterday, and I'm glad to say I did not get my arm once. I started at about 20 yards( I have never shot a bow in my life) and I was all around a 2" by 2" target. Thanks
Another quick tip for beginners to get the elbow straight. Bend your fist into your chest then extend into your bow arm position. Note the position of your elbow and repeat when shooting.
I've never had to use a guard . I think I'm lucky because I've seen many other girls in my class snap the string on their arm and it looks painful. I think I have tiny arms so that probably helps . I got little dinosaur arms lol 🦖 😂😂😂😂 jk but it sure does feel like it sometimes lol
Proper form is everything. If your form is shit, you can still be fairly accurate and consistent with a compound, but not so much shooting traditional, and you won't be as good as you could be with proper form. Even so, getting nailed by that string will still happen occasionally. It just comes with the territory. Maintaining proper form thru-out the draw and release will help keep it from happening very often tho, as it only seems to happen when there is a breakdown in form.
I’ve always gone with if your draw length is correct, you shouldn’t experience any arm slap. If it’s too long, you will. I also used to wear an arm guard to take the slap there, but I was probably an inch long on draw length then. Haven’t experienced arm slap in years now with DL being correct.
Thanks Paige! I've been looking at a bunch of videos to figure out what i'm doing wrong with my shot, and you're the first one to talk about the stiffness of the wrist, and the dropping of the front shoulder. one shot after watching this, I put my arrows right on target instead of 4" left. Also realised my peep hole is too low. Thanks!
I only get slapped when I shoot split finger for some reason. I normally won’t get hit because my bottom three bow hand fingers are tucked into my palm creating significant gap between my arm and string. I’m still working at it…
Probably won’t see this comment but I’m looking to go deer hunting with my bow and arrow and I’m not that strong at 50 pounds will I be able to shoot at 34 yards
Thanks weirdly not what I was searching for but since you mention it. Yeah I don’t want my arm beat to death by the string. It occurs to me that if the string was doubled on the opposite side it would put your arm away from that snapping string. Just a thought as a beginner and novice. I have literally only fired one arrow to date and have a ton to learn and can’t wait to get at it. I’m sure there is a reason it’s done this way
As someone who is self taught but still doesnt know what im doing, ive just been doing this since its easier than trying to do what my dad tries to tell me (He doesnt know anything either)
Hello! I have archery tryouts and I have never even shot an arrow before so I am learning to see how I can get better. So do you have any advice for a beginner like me?
I literally slapped my arm today it was my first time ever shooting a bow and damn did it hurt my grandpa was yelling me when I came inside that I need to turn to an angle

Are those archery shoes ?
If not grandma needs her shoes back 😂
show us how good your skills are with a recurve bow open sights 100 foot shots that's skill

I just twist my elbow out a bit.
That's some biguns
Lol of course Paige knows this
Idk how well endowed women do it, honestly. I'm a little chubby, slap my nipple much more than my forearm.
Use a release it works much better
What do you mean? I do shoot with a release. I shoot professionally and that’s with a release not fingers lol
Can I ask this? How come you always get slapped by your string ? Is it just in major shoots and nerves kick in? I mean no ones perfect…
