PowWow / String slapping my face
Last post by Arctic Hunter - Today at 12:35:32 AM
I've researched this, but can't seem to fix it. I got out of trad bows after a couple shoulder surgeries. I ordered a 64" PMA thinking the extra length would be easier on them as I was finally able to shoot again. Bow is great, just like the other six widows I've had.

But I can not quit hitting my face and nose with the string when I shoot normally. I sacrificed one of my tabs by trimming it down a little at a time. Tried not leaning into the string, bringing the hand to the face (which I've always done anyway), adjusting my anchor higher, 3 under and split, etc...

I shot 60" and 62" bows with the same style of shooting for years and never dealt with this. Anybody else have that happen going to a longer bow? What am I missing? I hate to shorten my anchor since it makes me feel like I'm totally out of alignment and makes it harder to keep good back tension.

It irritates me so much when it happens I'm literally about to sell the bow. Just don't want to wait a year.

I used them years ago when I still shot carbon, I did not notice any spine affect. I did have the nock pop out a couple of times but never after crimping them every couple of inches or so along their length with a pair of pliers and putting a bit of slow setting adhesive on them just before insertion. This of course makes them permanent.

Sorry he got away from you but he's dead somewhere and will be recycled. Boat in/out footage too please! Makes me want to practice and hunt those hogs. Does it take a lot to get back into the spots you choose?

Keep up the good work and inspiring videos!
