I got my thumb trigger release about a month beofre I sold my Allegiance. I noticed my elbow giving me some pain about the time I was getting used to the thumb trigger release. After I sold the Ally....the 82nd is a harsher draw.....and it's played hell on my elbow (and shoulder to a small extent). In all honesty....I've also shot more than I ever have in the last two months, though....and some can be attributed to that.

I've ordered 50-60# limbs for the 82nd.....and I'm hoping that helps out. I can shoot it at 52#'s and still have to play with the arrows I'm shooting to dumb it down for legal shoots.

Chris (MOHO) mentioned something in another thread about FOC that got me wondering. If the arrows I'm shooting are overspined.....could "I" be absorbing a lot of energy from the bow? It's honestly hurting so bad, now....I don't feel like I can practice without injury.

Opinions? Take 2 weeks off...then quit?

Will the lower #-age limbs help? Heavier arrows? I'm at the "brink" of what my arrows can be as far as gpp, right now.....on the low end. Would shooting a lower poundage bow and heavier arrows help?

Thanks, guys.
