What do you guys do to keep from hitting your coat while bow hunting. i had it happen 2 times last year. i am thinking about a thick longsleve shirt with a vest. just would like to know what others do.

Some thoughts; bow with higher brace height; open your stance some when you shoot; be sure your grip is not way far in too deep to the handle; take your bow pull up rope and use it to tie around your bow arm sleeve to pull clothing in as tight as possible.

This is a about $8-$9 everywhere. I use it and it works well.

arm guard

I twist my elbow out and up at full draw and don't have a problem hitting even in a heavy insulated suit.

Arm guard, rubber bands, cut the end out of an old wool tube sock, use proper form, This ain't rocket science, it's good ol' fashioned bowhuntin'.

Arm guard when it is cold enough for a thick coat.

shorten drawlength an inch or get a bow with more brace height .

I shift my wrist/hand on the bow grip a bit clockwise which in turn creates more of an arm angle away from the grip/bow. This in turn rotates my bow arm's elbow out away from the bow and completly out of the way of the incoming bow string when I release.

I'm not sure if it's proper form but it's how I taught myself to avoid arm rash and also to avoid having to wear an arm guard early on when I was learning archery/bowhunting.

I do the wrist/grip shift immediately after I first draw back right before the settling in kisser & peep alignment process.

Try it!

I use an arm guard once it gets cool enough to have a bulky top on that needs it.

arm guard sounds like the best bet, thanks

My scentblocker realeaf jacket has a real nice built in arm guard that works great, and my other jacket is an athletic fit softshell ands stays out of the way. I dont wear big lose fitting coats for archery.

 

[IsHeBreathing?]

Gets real cold and the big heavy coat comes out, I use duct tape. Looks ghetto but works great!

Open your stance and shorten your draw length. You can wear an arm guard also, but shouldn't need it. I can wear a parka and not hit my sleeve with my hunting set up.

arm guard

Yeah but you didnt use it for its intended purpose!!!...:zip:

Usually thet means DL.

Though I do have sleeve adjusters on my thick wool coat. I really haven't seen a issue when I don't adjust them.

If it is your coat sleeve, try a simple arm guard or even better, a Camo Skinz arm covering from Cabelas; they are awesome! If it is your chest area, a binocular bino system usually holds my coat in close to my chest and out of the way of the string.
