Just got in my new Bear Grizzly. Every time I shoot the string hits me about where my wrist is. I ordered it from 3riversarchery and had them set it up. Should I go to my pro shop for help or does somebody have some advice they can offer?

You may want to try increasing the brace height slowly.

Hello All
U might buy and try cat whisker's or at least that's what I call them. They are a piece of rubber, that has been slitted. U tie it on to the bow string, and then cut it. It will flare out into a rubber band ball. Put one on top and one on the bottom of your bow string. It will reduce the osculation of the bow string.
Also it might be how you are getting into the bow grip.Lay that bow flat on something. Now pick it up . With out moving the bow hand. Now draw to anchor. Now notice the space you now have, while holding the bow.
You could have your draw length checked. You might have to long of a draw length. Causing you bow hand wrist to turn in. Hope this is of some help. [ Later

If you need a higher brace; unstring the bow, twist the string to make it shorter, restring, and re-check the brace height to make sure it is where you want it. Repeat if you have not achieved desired brace height.
BTW only twist a little at a time. I usually do one twist at a time until I find my desired brace height.

If your brace height is too low, that very well might be the reason you are hitting your arm. Your brace height should be somewhere between 7"-8". If your brace height is less that 7" just unstring the bow, take the string off one end of the bow, and twist it in the direction that would make it get tighter to raise the brace height.
