Default Elbow?

I have a question. I'm thinking about moving from crossbow to vert. bow part time in the near future. I busted my elbow in a 4wheeler accident and have had tendonitous from baseball bad. several times to the point it flares up regularly. Went through PT but that didnt help in the long run. just short term relief. will this effect me?

Which elbow, your bow holding arm or your drawing arm? Really I'm not sure we can answer it. You'll have to see how it works out. Prior to buying a bow rodent, try to work out the way you'd be drawing a bow and see how you make out. Good luck.

Unfortunately yes, it most likely will. Your draw elbow will be the most effected, but your bow arm elbow will be as well. BUT there is good news....todays compounds are very smooth, and with todays let off, you just don't hold much weight at all. I would recommend lower poundage, but ya never know. It may not bother you as much as you would think.
