I'm wondering if any of you guys have had a similar problem and if it will go away when I use a traditional bow.

When I draw my compound (50#) with a straight bow arm, the shoulder of my pulling arm sometimes "slips" at the beginning of the draw. It's not that I pull a muscle or dislocate my shoulder, but it is mildly painful, and I'm concerned about long-term damage. I think the slip occurs because all the draw weight is felt at the beginning of the draw, when my drawing arm is extended (and weak). I've been forced to switch to the push-pull method, which works alright, though sometimes my drawing shoulder slips even with this method.

Have any of you guys had a similar problem or heard from people who have? As I said before, I'm wondering if this problem will go away when I use a traditional bow. I figure that, since the peak draw weight on a traditional bow is felt at full draw, when our shoulders have the most leverage, I won't have any more "slips." What do y'all think? I've been in the market for a traditional bow anyway, but now I'm in the market because I'm concerned about my shoulder gettin' torn up by the compound.
