Finally, after 4 months of physical therapy on my left surgery I'm shooting again.  Thanks to Dennis Hans, who loaned me a 30# Stemmler recurve, I've got something I can draw and shoot.  I picked up a half dozen Carbon Express Heritage 150's to shoot in it. I shot about 30 arrows a couple nights ago, and shot 100 tonight.  It's slowly coming back.  Just the fact that it's been a few years since I shot a traditional bow makes it difficult enough.  I had to be careful after a while shooting, because I would start to rush my release as I got tired.  Unless, my shoulder is too sore, I'll shoot again tomorrow night.

Great news.  :clapper:   Take it easy on yourself for a while.
I can imagine after that long without, you want
to shoot, shoot, shoot.

Your post was not clear.  Elbow or shoulder?

I tore the two upper muscles in my rotator cuff of my left shoulder completely loose from the bone, and had a large tear of my bicep tendon.

Take it easy there D.A.  My shoulder still gets sore when I shoot from the surgery I had 2 years ago.  Don't push yourself too much!
