What a pain!
Nothing new to y'all; that pre-season shoulder pain, right?
I put my guitars down and took up a compound my nephew gave me. The wife said music wasn't putting anything on the table...
Well, my left shoulder, after a few shots today got so sore I couldn't lift my can of favorite brew. I immediately Googled up bowhunting shoulder pain and here I am! I learned that I haven't done irreparable damage and now I'd like to learn a few exercise techniques to build up my holding shoulder. My nephew set it down for me after the first couple days b/c my left elbow was taking a beating. Not sure but it's prob'ly only 50#. It's not hard to draw, but man, that shoulder pain! I'm a thin guy who's done "trades" work most of my life so I'm not weak; my joints on the other hand, have taken the brunt of my lack of bulk. And today's session was only fourteen arrows before I got so wobbly that I thought I may shoot the neighbor's dog or something if I missed my target! (JK)
