Wow. When bowling, I always just thought it was my hip that got in the
way. My hips are, of course, wider proportionally than most men's.
The elbow turn you mentioned is important in archery, too. Women are
much more likely to release the sting and do some impressive bruising to
their elbows than men, due to the angle. The good news is that that's a
mistake you only make once!
