How can I avoid shooting my lips?
For the first few arrows I often have the problem, that the string rubs over my lips. I need to concentrate on turning the face more to the target.
However, these few arrows are sometimes that harsh, that they leave me with a bloody lip.
Is there anything I can do to remember to turn my head at the first go-off? Something less painful than a bloody lip please =)
Trivia:
- Best thing would be to break the habit completely of course
- A reminder (like a note or something) wouldn't work, cause I forget about it while I actively shoot (even if I walk to the court with a "turn your head"-consideration)

There is a possibility that your lips are catching on your knock points. It can take a few arrows to get your form at the start of a day.
I used to have brass knock points as well. After a while I replaced them with string floss (the one used for teeth) sealed with glue. It eliminated the problem for me.

A kisser button, perhaps? They are a button on your string designed specifically to help orient your head.
