Default Happy as a pig in sh@+, but my shoulder hurts

Well I finally cranked my new mighty might down to see what she could do.
I turned the following with 435 grain arrow : 65# = 268 ave
67#= 275 ave
70#= 283 with a high of 285.
The 65# /268 = 69 ft/lbs ke
67# 275 = 73 ft/lbs ke
70# 285 = 78 ft/lbs ke
All of these speed were obtained with 29" draw and the Hush Kit ON.

I am more than happy with the results and am a happy new bow owner.
I know that there might be " smoother" or whatever bows out there. But when your comparing this bow to a 6 year old mathes Z-light and a reflex extreme solo all I can say is it feels good to me.

Now the hurt shoulder part- while I was doing some comparitive shooting I noticed that my mathews felt as if it had a slightly longer, more comfortable draw length. The MM kind feels like I' m cramped and can move the bow back and forth at full draw. I was at full draw checking this out (while at 70#) and turned the bow away from my body to look at something when the 80% letoff did it' s thing. The bow comes jerking foreward with me resisting it and brought itself back to the undrawn position. I figured it was gonna hurt, but it didn' t at the time.
Now the next day, Ouww crap my shoulder hurts right where the arm connects to the shoulder socket (on top). Did I rip something??

I' ve been shooting 65 and 67# for deer season, but kind of slacked off shooting sinc then. I should only have been fooling with 65# and less. I just HAD to see what it could do.
