Default RE: bow arm

nodog....i dont wanna sound ignorant..arrogant etc...but i doubt im pulling too much weight. i used to powerlift heavy and hard daily for 3 years. after that i started working pretty much full time. all my work ive always been a back buster. lift this, move that put this big @$$ heavy thing here. Put this 300lb patio set ontop of a 8ft sissor lift and then put it in storage. im always using my mucsles even though i dont work out religiously. i went back to the weight room for a couple weeks last fall and didnt loose all too much on my lifts. im drawing 67lbs and i draw it without a struggle. just pull it straight back. not like on TV them guys gota put it clear to the sky and pull it downward. if anything at all i over did it and think i push too awkwardly on my shoulder when im at full draw. its hard to describe but i almost pop my shoulder out of place i now noticed. oh ya...its also my brace shoulder that is injured not my drawing arm..i know it still uses muscle and hold the 17lbs back at full draw, but this is more of a joint problem then a muscle problem i think

good news is my shoulder is barely hurting today and i lifted stuff all day at work. heck i lifted patio sets MYSELF..which i rarely do when im NOT hurting. im not the guy that will wait around for someone to help me lol...im the idiot thats in the hospital coz i got crushed by a box or something! lol...i am carefull and know my limits..but i do alot of lifting and i noticed the pain is pretty slight. figure ill be shooting monday. but only a couple shots every day to practice and work on my form then ill put it away till the next day. gota see how fridays chiro visit goes...

thanks alot guys
