Yep. I played baseball in highschool and am right handed, but competitive archery has made my left shoulder have occassional pain.
Holding up a 9# bow for 60 perfect shots, plus 10 for practice really takes a toll on the inner shoulder.
I shoot a relatively high DW for most people who compete regularly, bu my stature really needs it. 55#'s indoors for me doesn't yield enough holding weight even with 65% letoff.
Most people are overbowed tho... Good thread
