Title: Time for a hiatus.....pics New Dimensions are now 540/405
Post by: joe skipp on January 13, 2013, 12:57:00 PM
Past few days cleaning up and rearranging the shop, I figured it was time to clean up and store away 2 of my most popular bows.

These bows have withstood the test of time and I just love the way they feel and shoot. So, wiped them down and rested them on the bow rack. Hopefully after this shoulder surgery, I'll be able to handle the weights.

56" Groves Spitfire and 50" Browning Cobra

Joe,

As you've read here dozens of times by others in that same shoulder boat...Do ONLY what they tell you and persevere with all they tell you to do!

Nothing more. Nothing less.  You will be fine. the mind is the worst bedevilment taunting you to "just try it a little"...DON'T!!!

I've got a Cobra 1 as well. Great little bows. Only recurve I have left,except my bowfishing rig. I may break it out this spring turkey season.
Good luck with the shoulder,play easy at first so you don't over do it.

Hey Joe

I hope all goes well and you are back shooting ASAP. Don't be stubborn and just listen to the Dr's orders. If you need anything I'm sure Stiff Rod and I won't mind driving up to see ya. Like Mitch said above, Keep in touch.

Good luck on the shoulder surgery. I had two surgery's on my left shoulder for a torn labrum and an anchor that pulled loose.I talked to my physical therapist and when things started getting better after the second one,he set me up with a program to get me back into archery sooner.

OK...here at work...just checked my Photobucket and all my images are 640/480....I have no clue why they were larger when I posted them here. I will recheck...and try to repost with smaller images. Sorry for any inconvenience.
