Try finding something that has a spring on it. Pull on it like your pulling your bow back. There's not to many exercises that you can do that use the same muscles on shooting a bow. I wouldn't know where to look for one but I'm sure they make something somewhere for this.

any "rowing" exercise should strengthen your back & shoulders

I do an upright row with 25 lb dumbells and a long bar with 70 lbs on it as part of my routine. I believe this helps not only in drawing the bow, but also holding it a full draw.

Just get a gym membership and get on a rehab for your shoulder and after you are good to go keep hittin the gym. It's good to get into something like that anyway. Find a good split and you won't be worried about your shoulder.
