well guys...the shoulder seems to be healing well!! today i woke up and it was feeling great. i stretched and moved it around and couldnt get it to hurt. decided since i woke up early to go TEST it out with the bow. i fired about 20 shots and was happy to find that the pain has all but gone away. just a slight hint after 15 shots or so i started to feel it. headed to the chiro for my 3rd visit then off to work. i probably wont shoot this weekend just to make sure things heal and everything but had to test it out today. figured id let you guys know that all should be well with my shoulder!! thankfully it was nothing serious. i know alot of guys that had shoulder surgery and bad shoulders etc that keep them from the bow. i dont wanna be one of them guys so im going to take it easy. im still shooting good...no need to fling 100s of arrows a day..time to screw in the broadheads and shot those a couple times a day till the season. and also practice from the stand on a 3d in the woods for some REAL closest to real life i can get practice. thank you all..thought id let you know im feeling better! after todays chiro visit i should be 110%

Good news Mauser. You just overdid it a little that first week. You won't even remember drawing the bow back on your first deer with a bow. Good luck this season.

not good news but great news mauser

ditto Cougars....

Really glad to hear it!

ahh man todays chiro visit was great! as i loosen up from going to him he can do more to me....man im feelin good. after next week ill feel like a brand new person! lol..although im only 19 my body takes a beating. i been working since 16 pretty much full time and i am the one that does all the yard work. when i was young i started out at like 10 bailing hay and cleaning barns, along with lotsssssss of yard work. i was a smart kid. i rather work hard for my money to buy stuff with then ask my parents to buy it for me. im still like that now. they would gladly bought me anything i asked for within reason, i just liked the idea of me buying it with my own money...its was MINE. ive always been a hard worker and a back breaker...shoulda went to the chiro a lonnnnng time ago

im sure i did over do it the first week i shot. my body never felt it because i shoot in my back yard. id shoot before and after work. days off id shoot on and off throught the day. finally i guess my muscles just kinked up. felt great to draw the bow and not feel pain! lol

im so glad and relieved its nothing serious..i thought for sure i bought my first bow FINALLY after yearrrrrs of trying and wanting to and i was going to have to sit this season out AGAIN. i cant wait..now that i know ill be hunting its time to request off the days i know i want to hunt ALL day. i already worked out my work schedule..between college and work you would think i wouldnt have time to pi$$ but fridays ill work 7-4, saturdays ill work 2-11 and sundays i told them ill work any time lol. so fridays ill hunt after work on stand by 430-5pm latest..saturday i can hunt dawn till noon or so...i can hunt monday mornings till 3 or so..class starts at 6 monday and i believe i got another open morning to hunt..wed i think. but studying and homework come before hunting and working...but with having evening classes etc i think ill have plenty of time to get my studying done. i also opted to live alone this year to make sure im not distracted and can study right in my room.

cant wait...thank you all....ill be waitin.....you guys send that 180" typical 10pt by my stand..not opening morning though...mid season sounds good so i can hunt a couple days! lol

congrats on feeling better hopefully, but be easy on it. there is always a chance or reinjuring yourself. Especially since we are getting soooo close to hunting season now
