    I’ve always wondered why people wear that since I’ve never even once have
    the string snagged on my tshirt… but then I realised most of my tshirts
    are form fitting.

    NUSensei, can you please do a short explanation video on that string you
    have on your bow hand/fingers? How important is it to have that piece of
    string? Can you use like a shoelace?

    Once a string of a hoodie came out from below my chest guard and the bow
    string snatched to it. The arrow penetrated a wooden support of the target.
    It was not easy to remove it from there.

    I call it a nipple protector.
    A lot of archers I have spoken backed me in this and stated that even loose
    fitting clothing do not affect the shot at all: just as long as the string
    can freely fly off and that there are no barriers on its route. I have
    personally had more trouble with my sleeves being too thick than the
    clothes on my chest.

    I’ve seen a lot of characters who are Archers on the Fire Emblem games (And
    Ike from fire embem path of radiance and fire emblem radiant dawn wears one
    even though he never uses anything that’s not a sword or an axe) wear these
    and always wondered what their purpose was

    I appreciate the insight about shorter bows –> greater string angle –>
    less likelihood of hitting the clothing over the chest. Sometimes its nice
    to have the obvious pointed out, so clearly. Thanks!
