ok so i have been going out and shooting my broadheads lately at first everything seems to be flying fine down the middle, then i develop string slap, something in my grip is changing and i dont know what, i go to wrap only one finger around the riser/ grip the other fingers on the side and this goes away anyone know whats going on, sounds like heeling the bow? its a bob lee exotic recurve
Has your brace height dropped? I know increasing my brace height has helped me. Had to do this recently with my mohawk longbow.
nope brace height is the same
Heeling bow or collapsing with fatigue.
Or, overextending your bow arm. Also, could be not ENOUGH hand on the bow. Too loose a grip. and the bow can torque sometimes, Need not be a lot, but you still need to do your part in keeping the bow still.
When I feel I am holding the bow I just wrap my index finger around the grip till it touches my thumb. I let the bow grip rest on my "lifeline" in my hand. My other fingers do not touch the bow.
You might try a wrist strap. That way you could have a loose grip and not torque the bow and not worry about dropping your bow
how do ou over extend your bow arm? what can prevent this?
If you are on your lifeline you are to far on the grip .
Try an imaginary line splitting halfyway between your lifeline and your thumb second joint . Right down the middle of the palm pad at the base of the thumb .
Now don't apply to much pressure on the palm but kinda put the pressure on the web of the thumb but don't push your hand out flat .
Make it a practice to rotate your bow arm elbow 45°clockwise at full draw.
It feels unnatural but clears your arm and wrist of string slap and prevents the bow arm from collapsing.
I learned this because our archery coach in college would jab me with an arrow in the shoulder if I forgot when shooting target archery in practice.
Get your arm and hand in the correct position,
