Solid points. I will check my local regs because, I don't know if that foot stirrup (or another draw assist device) is even allowed. My post was more of a "what's out there" for this situation than "the plan". Thatmight have been a LAST resort for the LAST week of the season, if at all. Certainly healing comes first. Here's hoping, with a week or so off, I'll be back in the saddle (or at least, up a tree)! Worst case, I've still got regular deer and muzzleloader seasons upcoming. But, I'd really miss the bow challenge. Thanks for your wise counsel.
