I go in for surgery on my left thumb tomorrow and was told about three months for recovery. I am glad that I have trad gang to help pass the time. You will probably see me doing a lot of posting during that time so bear with me.  Bob

dang and in oone of the best seasons.  i  feel your pain

thats not so bad.  how about a cheap lefty bow to play around with?

I am out too till about the end of march - bu tbears don't come out till third week of april or later - so I should have both bows and arrows tuned and ready for BEAR...    

Saw the physio fella yesterday and my two tendons and some muscle tissue are torn on my elbow....so doing rehab...sucks

Jer Bear

could have happened in the beginning of September!  Hope you recover well!

Oh man that is my fear realized. I messed my thumb up sometime this past summer. It doesn't hurt during normal activity, but if it bends backwards or I am shooting a narrow gripped bow, it hurts like the devil. I don't wanna go have it looked at because I'm afraid of the down time involved. But I know that I should because of the long run effects. Aaaaaahhhhh. Such is life. Good luck to you though Bob. May you have a fast recovery.

Bob, good luck with your surgery, 3-months isn't that long, do your therapy and 3-months will pass quickly. If you bought the May turkey tag you could be in good shape by then.  Take care, Todd

good luck with your surgeory

I had two surgeries the last two years and the time will go fast.  Just listen to the doc as you don't want to injure yourself shooting too early.

i feel your pain brother : i get to have shoulder surgery in 4 weeks and will not be able to shoot for awhile !!!  hope yours goes well  take care

Shoulder surgery after a accident at work, 7 pins and achors and rehab I was shooting in 5 months.

You can do it    

Tracy

broken bow arm elbow, was shooting in 5-6 months.

do the therapy

Sorry to hear that Bob.  It will all be over and you'll be back to shooting in no time.  Good luck!       Cade

probably see you around...I'm getting a valve job March 5. rick.

BUMMER!!I'd forget how to shoot if I was off for 3 mons.  :confused:

Thanks guys. I agree that if you have to miss 3 months, this is a better time than late summer or fall. This will still give me over 4 months to get ready for hunting season.  Bob

Bob,
Wish you luck and a speedy recovery !

I feel your pain! I'm sorry! I hope you have friends that will come over and shoot for you, I did! That and tradgang got me by.

I got you covered in my prayers for a quick and complete recovery.

God bless,Mudd

Anytime you are hurt and can't shoot is a bad time, but unless you are shooting inside, this is a preferable time to have off. I fell down at work late last August, wacked my wrist and missed all of early deer season. I even went so far as to buy a lighter poundage bow so I could start shooting sooner. It didn't happen fast enough, but I'm still enjoying the lighter poundage. Good luck on your recovery.
