I did'nt think there was anything you could do for tendonitis,other than rest the joint and let it heal on its own.I get it from time to time,,still have it in my left elbow right now.It's slowly going away,but with the type of work I do,it takes WEEKS.I have had it on the top side of one elbow,,and the under side of the other,,,,,at THE SAME TIME[:@]that sucked !!!!!!!!No bow shooting those months[

When my tendonitis flair up in my shoulder, I first of all cut down on my shooting and make my practice sessions exteme quality instead of quantity. I also switched to a 65% let off (I'm not sure if it will help on the wrist). I'm just wondering what is hurting it, actual strain from shooting, of shock vibrations, recoil. You may want to look into that further. I also ice, and take and ibuprofin before and after shooting.

when you said you switched to 65%, what did you switch from?

On my Darton, I just ordered the 65% let off. But I had to also buy the higher let off because it came standard.
But remember, my problem was in the shoulder.
As far as the grip, I would definetely experiment. If the low grip doesn't feel right to you, then you need to get a different grip. Check out loesch grips. You can custom order one in the exact position that you need. Also, shoot Arthur P an e-mail and ask your grip question to him. I know he hasn't been on the boards for a while and he may not return. I believe that he only shoots a high grip.
