Go for the bow BJ, the minute you take that .54 out there is the time you' ll have that bull at 10 yds, you' ll kick yourself for not having the bow, besides that' s the challenge. I can relate to the shoulder problem, as I tore my rotator cup 2 yrs ago as well, was in a shoulder sling for 2 months, couldn' t dress myself either. It happened 4 months before bow season opened, I was bound and determined to hunt. I was one of those self therapy guys. I started slow with some exercises and kept increasing until I could pull 60lbs. I normally pull 74lbs. If you can do something similar and there' s just to much pain, take another shot of bourbon, that' ll loosen up the old muscles. If you can draw 55 to 60# you' ll do fine. Make sure you go with cut on contact broadheads and you' ll have good penetration out of your recurve. Watch out though, once you bowhunt you may not go back to rifle hunting, for the very reasons you mentioned. elknut1
Thanks for the photo posting info. Sorry about posting on your thread, guess I got excited that it worked and I forgot where I was at.

That Bull' s lair looks like a park. Awesome.
Don' t tell me they just stand out there in the open waiting to be shot.
Down this way they live on the side of cliffs by comparison.
