Welcome Back Fieldmouse! As an old fart that's had more shoulder injuries than I care to think about it, take this advise to heart, do NOT over train. If you are like me you will have a tendency to "grit and bear it". You will end up doing way more harm than good to your shoulder. Every day is too much. And drop your bow to the lowest poundage you can and work back up to hunting weight. For Turkey, 50 pound pull is more than sufficient with today's bows. Kind of doubtful you would take a shot past 25-30 yards on a Bird and with a good cut on impact broad-head, 50 is plenty to blow through a wiley old tom. If you feel you just HAVE to, train every other day. Give your shoulder at least a day's break. You will find you will get back into shooting shape faster this way.
