I'm rehabbing from rotator cuff surgery and was wondering the pros and cons of trying to shoot a longbow with mouth tab.

Not much info out there that I could find on Google.

Thought perhaps someone here has experience.

Any specifics and tips will be appreciated.

Is 45# too much?

What do I watch out for?  Dangers?

Aiming any different?

Any adjustments needed to the bow?

Now that I think of it...I guess I would have to get a left handed bow because its my left shoulder that got the surgery.

HMMM...maybe lots of challenges??

Thanks much, folks.

beaunaro,

There was an old post from 2013 discussing this topic.

Hope this helps.

I wish you best of luck...

That's such a great thread. I know Chris, and I love that video of him shooting in a sling. Gotta respect that!

Irv, I sure hope you have a quick and full recovery! Sounds like a lot of changes, but if it's that or not hunting I say try it! I wish I had a light lefty I could send ya!

PS, you can use Siri or the the speech recognition feature in Google Docs to do the typing for you. Just in case that helps you while you're healing.

Terry Green used one for a while a couple years ago. He could probably shed some light.

Thank you much fellas,

Great thread and video.

Got some ideas

Since it is your bow arm that is affected and not your drawing arm you may wish to adapt the style Ron LaClair tried for a time.  Holding and aiming the bow with his foot while sitting down.
