And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Three finger release, arrow goes on the body side of bow. Thumb ring release, arrow goes on the non-body side of bow. Don't know for mechanical releases, never have used one.
If you hold the bow correctly, the string won't slap your arm. Though I understand it is easier for men to hold the bow so the string doesn't slap the arm. Either wrist strength or shoulder geometry, I forget which.
I do recommend new archers wear a bracer. Once you are experienced you can decide for yourself. And make sure the arm guard is long enough for your arm, getting a roll of skin caught between the string and the bracer hurts more than no bracer at all.
