I should at least have looked at a picture or video or something before randomly trying to shoot stuff eh? 😅.

Yes, yes you do.

First get an armguard.

Second, without seeing how you shoot, pay attention to your bow arm not being in the line of flight of the string.

Grip is likely an issue.
Rotate elbow outward

Definitely helps. I would add ; break your wrist a little bit so your arm doesn't stay in the way
