I am experiencing bow arm slap. I twisted the string up and down to find the quite spot, but it hits my arm. I shoot a recurve and it is set at 7 1/4" now. Is there anything that i can do to help aleviate the slap?

You can open up your stance so that you face the target a bit more.
Also, try holding your bow with your top two fingers and thumb only while tucking your bottom two fingers back into your palm.
Just a couple ideas,

a little bend in elbow? roll hand on grip? Those are typical causes.
Thanks for the ideas, I already hold my bow by my thumb and index fingers, right in the crook of my hand. I will have to try opening up my stance though. Thanks again

If your elbow is rigid you will hit your arm. Try bending your elbow a bit and see if that helps. Pat

While your practicing all of the above, Get one of my Armguards to take the sting out....
After gripping the bow, rotate your elbow out. Also, as said before, open up your stance.
