An injury is preventing me from shooting. For a while now, and there is no shooting time in the forseeable future.
Not used to this at all. Typically, on any given day, I could pick up my bow and shoot until things felt better or my mood improved.
So, I have a request. Shoot one (or a few) for me. Stumping, 3D, bowfishing, hunting....I dont mind which. Just snap a pic and post it for me. I need some vicarious motivation. I need to see arrows downrange.
Thanks.  :D

Hope you get better soon. I'll fling some for you today.

Have you ever considered getting an opposite hand lightweight bow to shoot in the event something like this happens?

When my LH fingers get so sore from marathon shooting I switch to my daughter's RH #30 bow and shoot at close range. I am getting to a point I can shoot a fair group at ten yards.

Man i hate when i cant shoot. Heres to a quick recovery. I have some new arrows comming ill tunem up for ya.

I have a severely herniated disc between C6 and C7 in my neck. My right arm is numb and painful, and the mere act of turning my head can cause major issues. Im doing vigorous physical therapy to attempt to avoid a spinal fusion at the ripe old age of 35.   :D  
I wish I could switch to a LH bow and get my fix. I even asked the surgeon, and it was meant with a very adamant "No".
Thanks guys, I appreciate it immensely.  

Sorry to hear about this. I wish you the best in your recovery.

If ya need anything let me know bud!! Shawn

Sorry to here that, hope everything works out.

Get well soon, prayers sent.

Here's some pics for ya Ishiwannabe, a 50-48-44-41 yard walk-up hunter target on the field course



Cold drinks, camera, pruners, etc. in the pack and a 70" 42#@29" Pearson Sovereign

16 or 17 points with an X, not too bad

 

Jamie,

Sorry about your bad luck!  Talk about kicking a guy when he's down!  

I'll get a pick or two when I can, until then, like Shawn said, let me know if there is anything you need or I can do!

Thanks everyone! I am going to beat this. No doubt.
Arrowwood, that's what I am talking about! Thanks!

I have a new bow due in any day now. I'm off work this week.Maybe you could walk the 3d course in Greenville with me and Justin. You could bring Jace.Maybe have a little lunch in the woods...

I hope things heal well for you. I had a very similar injury a few months ago. My disc wasn't herniated, but it was on the verge.  I couldn't pull hardly any weight. My right shoulder was useless and my right hand was numb. My chiropractor was able to sort it out for me, fortunately.  It did take a few weeks, though.

If I get a chance to go out stumping, I'll get a few pics for you.

Jamie, I know the feeling bro! If there is anything I can do or help with please let me. Big Ed

Seems like something of mine is ALWAYS hurting.   :mad:   Lately (for a couple-few years) it's been heel spur agony, gradually fading to intolerant arches and tick bites...fairly mild stuff, comparatively speaking. But there were some years of back pain that had me screaming, until that pain got bored and moved to more fertile ground.

I got the tick bites out on the 3D range at my club. I THINK they're tick bites... maybe I put on a shirt full of bedbugs.   :eek:  
But I found these, so I had to go back with a bag. Maybe you could do a little mushroom scouting, eh?

Sorry to hear this. Listen to the Doc, and I'm hoping for a quick and full recovery.

You might want to start looking for a light weight bow for when you can start building back up to shooting again.

Shooting with the family

 


Hope that helps a some.

Excellent pics. Killy, I am not familiar with those mushrooms. Enlighten me?  
I appreciate all the words of encouragement.  My physical therapist is an avid bowhunter, so he knows the deal. He shoots wheels....so far.  :D

Black trumpets! Amazing what google can do. I haven't tried them yet. But I managed a little walk in the back 40 yesterday and found hundreds of them.  
thanks for the pics everyone. Buckeye, that treestand pic makes the fall seem forever away. Can't wait...

Saw them used on "Iron Chef America" yesterday. Never found any down here in MS.
