Bigsmooth35 - Not so much with a compound, but my longbow at times kills my shoulder. Same thing too, sore and sometimes pops in my shoulder socket actually ... but then my Dad has bad shoulders and I figured I kinda got it from that.

55#recurve - Heres my shot - I hold the bow out, much like I did when compound shooting with very little push/pull action, kinda like olympic style shooting. This is the best for me, the push/pull of Asbell kills me. I shoot with a cant, and I only hold for a moment at my anchor before release. I am going to joing a trad club this spring and shoot with guys in the know, but until then, what are your suggestions for me ?
