OK maybe I can do short vid to post and ask for advice. I will see what I can do this weekend.

I dont hit my arm frequently and I can group them well at 30 yrds so...

Just yesterday a guy I know had his string pop as he released his arrow. Needless to say it f%^ked up his forearm pretty bad. Made two pretty nasty cuts that required stitches.... I dont shoot with one & I always wax and inspect my string but after seeing this happen, makes me rethink it..

The problem I have is on the rare instance I hit my arm, it makes me string shy and pull the arrows to the left for several shots afterward.

I did that a few times when I first started bowhunting. As long as you have the correct draw legnth, its just a form issue.
