***ARCHERY TIP OF THE WEEK***

if you find yourself constantly getting slapped by the string on your bow forearm, there may be two reasons. First, your stance may be too closed. Try opening your stance by moving your rear foot forward a couple inches while pointing your front foot more towards the target.
Another issue may be how you are gripping the bow.Grip the bow so that the ridge of your knuckles are at a 45 degree angle to the floor. A good exercise to understand this is to get in your shooting stance without your bow and raise your bow hand towards the target. Now point. The natural position that your hand is now in is the position you want when gripping the bow.
Both of these methods will move your bow forearm away from the string path.
