It sure is great to be able to shoot again. After two shoulder surgery's and 6 months recovery'I went outside and shot a few arrows tonight! It was with a 43 # longbow and while the form wasn't very good ,it felt great just to watch the arrows fly.I am holping to be ready for our season opener. BOB

I know exactly how you feel!

Congrats.  Take it slow and continue the rehab.  We still have a couple months before the season starts.  I also know how you feel, twice.

Good Luck

I hope to know how you feel shortlt. I just had mine about 10 days ago. I do not kno0w how intrusive everyones was, but I had 12 spurs removed a bone chip and some feathering removed from the rotator and my doctor said ican shoot lightweight bows 30-35#s by the second week in August. glad to hear ya are back in the game.

I was lucky enough not to need surgery but the Dr. made me promise to lay off for 2 months, I'm 2 weeks in and I miss it so much I can't stand it.

I am finishing up my fourth month of therapy and should be returning to work shortly.Now it is just a matter of building up the strength. I am going to denton hill this weekend and looking for a slightly stronger longbow as the one I am shooting is borrowed. Hang in there SHAWN.It sounds like you should be set for hunting season.  BOB

I have been in a similiar boat. It has taken me a couple of years to work up to a 42lb draw. It may not need to be said here but (just a reminder) the more I focus on proper form the easier it is on my shoulder and the more shooting I can do with out any pain.

Glad to hear you are back shooting again Bob, that's great    

I'm still trying to work my way back from a Subacromial Decompression Surgery I had in Feb. as well. I'm not to where you are yet though. I can pull a 45# bow a few times but I can feel it later on. I kinda slacked off on my home rehab exercises a bit which hasn't helped any, but getting back in the routine and working with a 35# bow a little right now.

Wish you all the best for a full recovery   :D  .
