Have you ever had your recurve bow hit your body, chest, or even your face during the follow through? Many archers try to solve this by moving their bow arm out of the way, but that's only treating the symptom.
In this video I'll explain why your bow rotates the way it does after the release, what causes it to rotate into you instead of away from you, and how proper grip position and grip pressure can naturally fix the problem.
