thanx guys. i thought i may been doing something wrong. i will admit, i was nervous about shooting a bow for the first time..a little scared even..and shooting a deadly weapon in my back yard kinda made me feel uneasy and scarred at first..and after getting whacked with the string a couple times i locked my shouldeer joint OUT to get my arm as far from the sting as humanly possible....and i bet i injured myself! no wonder i have a giant GLOB of muscle for a "trap" on my back!! soon as i get the kinks out(of my back) i gota get the kinks out of my form. hopefully i didnt do any REAL damage to my shoulder and i will be shooting here shortly. i cant wait for friday. i never thought id LIKE going to a doctor! but man even if my shoulder wasnt jacked a chiro makes me feel awesome. i still think lifting heavy stuff at work up over my head etc didnt HELP matters....
