maybe some pictures will help - the first one is how my arm naturally sits as i draw my bow (the red line is showing the angle of the internal 'hinge' of my elbow and you can also see the obvious bulge of my forearm jutting into where the string might end up -



the second image is with my hand in the same position but with the elbow rotated clockwise (from my PoV) so that it is more vertical and gives better clearance - this isnt so tough to do without the bow but as soon as that arm is under stress from the draw weight this rotation soon becomes awkward feeling and eventually unmaintainable without discomfort -



my assumption is that either my bones and muscle just wont get into the optimum position for some 'natural' reason or (and more likely) that something else im doing (not doing) somewhere else in my form is creating the knock on effect of my elbow being awkward to get into the right place
