What is a chest guard in archery?
They offer a consistent surface to shoot off. Doesn't matter what the clothes are underneath (within reason) as you're shooting off the same chestguard all the time. One less variable.
What makes an arrow fishtail in flight?
Fishtailing is typically caused by a spine issue. If your spine is too weak or too stiff, then your arrow will not clear the riser of the bow cleanly (see archers paradox). Fishtailing can also be caused by torquing your grip or other form errors. If your are shooting vanes then fishtailing might be caused by a clearance issue.
To address fishtailing, address form issues. If the problem persists, make sure your vanes are clearing your rest cleanly. If you shoot traditional (off the shelf with feathers) then your problem probably isn't clearance. At this point fix your spine. I do this by bareshaft tuning, done out to twenty yards. To confirm that my spine is correct, I shoot through paper, and shoot big fixed blade broadheads. This should address any fishtailing issues.

How do you get rid of archery shoulder pains?
Usually, people try and stretch out their neck and shoulder prior to extended practice or hunting. Some work the muscles in those areas after with, say, a tennis ball or other massaging techniques even after a practice session.
Others say its less about stretching, and more about limiting yourself to only so much time practicing archery every day to build up those muscles that not be able to take strenuous periods of use.
You may also want to check the pull weight on your bow (unless its a compound) to decide if you may be pulling too much weight. I pull a traditional recurve at 40# and began practicing only a couple hours a day until I was able to build up my neck and shoulder muscles.
Proper stance and form may also play a big part in how your muscles react to tension, and archery uses nearly everything above the abdomen. If you check out a few videos or online resources about proper archery stance and begin adapting all of these suggestions to your routine. You'll notice that a large percentage of the pull is less about your neck and shoulders, but more about your back muscles flexing together. Once you begin training your body to pull and release in this fashion, your pain should subside if not dissipate over time.
Everyone has a different method, but don't overwork yourself or else much of what you build up to can suffer at a pulled muscle or strain that can set you back a couple weeks.
Best of luck!
