Originally posted by pavan: As John Schulz stated and wrote about with a Hill style bow and the brace heights that he suggested, the bow string tagging the arm is a normal part of the shot. Now the word used was 'excessive' and no mention of the bow, the string, or if a sturdy arm guard was on. Trying to go to extra lengths to avoid it with certain bows and set ups would require a considerable divergence from normal form.
