It is for stretching and increased range of motion.  My surgeon is also a friend...so I'm sure I can get a medical excuse for it!  At least I can tell my wife that  

     

Beautiful bow Doc!  I'll bet that she'll be a sweet shooter!

Keep the wind in your face!

Shoot straight, Shinken

 

Can't pull a bow yet but was able to get into my forge.  Start of Toelke Pika matching Tippit knife.  Dan sent me some riser wood and a few strips of black glass.  Knife...OAL of 9 inches, blade 4 1/2 of inches forged from 52100 steel.

With a family reunion and a 5 day Mustang (horse)
training clinic coming up, I'll probably be a little slow getting the knife finished...tippit

 

Oh man. Nice bow. And I know that blade won't be too shabby either! Looking forward to seeing the finished combo..
Hope you have a speedy and successful recovery!

Good luck with the recovery.  The project and therapy bow should help!

Jeff, The Bow is stunning and I think the knife will be as well.

Good luck on your recovery...

If you have never seen the Mustang training, it's absolutely incredible how quickly some trainers can earn the trust of the horse, then be able to work with it.

Charlie,
I'll be working with 25 different mustangs.  My instructor was one of the Extreme Mustang Makeover trainers in the film "Wild Horse Wild Ride".  August 7-8 is an Extreme Mustang Makeover event in MA.  I'm planning on bringing one home for me!

Dang Jeff I kinda thought you were getting to be a hard of hearing old vet/hunter and knife maker.Be carful them mustangs kick.Kip
