i hear what youre saying erika but my contact is further up the arm - if i dont wear a full length armguard the string can end up hitting the arm behind the elbow end of a shorter bracer and if i get a bad contact even with the full length guard i get a low arrow (3 rings or worse at 60 yards) so i think my contact is occurring before or as the arrow leaves the string

as i said i can rotate the joint to get better clearance but this just feels awkward and 'out of line' and eventually uncomfortable

just wondered whether most people have to 'force' their elbow / forearm out of the way like this or whether its just me ?

i run a low BH - would increasing that help any ?
