How to not shoot 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)
