The great thing about archery is there are so many options...I get tired of people saying that you can't shoot a compound or you can't shoot a crossbow. I shoot everything and enjoy them all!!! I shoot tradition 65%, 25% compound, and even shoot the dreaded cheater(crossbow) when it's very cold!! Thank god for choices!!! You should shoot whatever works for you and whatever you enjoy. Go with a crossbow until you heal up!

I had to do that for part of a season. I even had to use a draw lock too.
If you think a draw lock would be helpful send me a pm. I'd sell it cheap since I no longer need it.
God bless,Mudd

What ever you need to do to stay in the game is important. I would like to add that careful rehab can produce good results and that it is possible that a light recurve or longbow may actually put less stress on the injured tendons than a compound. Perhaps you could check your draw and form out to see if there is something you can do to minimize the threat of further injury with a very light bow first.

was the target panic you speak of caused by pain. I have never had target panic, so I really don't understand it, but I team rope. Horses develop a reaction to pain. It is how you first know they hurt. You ask them to do a certian move and they do it, but first there is a sudden quick shimmie, of sorts. It is almost like a reaction due to dread of the pain. Maybe that is where you got your target panic.
When you remove the pain from the horse they stop the jerk in a matter of days. This might be good for you...

I sometimes suffer a little target panic during the off hunting season, mainly because I'm trying too hard. I'm my own worst critic and not hitting exactly where I want to leaves me with a flushed face and too worked up to have fun.
Change it up for something silly like balloons, old Barbie dolls, stuffed toys, anything that takes the seriousness out of your practice routine. Get loose and goofey.....all will be well.

I will be in the wood with something be it long bow, atl-atl left handed, recurve or wheelie. Les the 26 # trainer is a good idea. check with that famous bear slayer and see if he is done with it. I may need to call bloody ugly home too. I forgot about both of them till you mentioned the lightweight. Still under the affect of the strong happy pills. (only excuse I can come up with)
I need a bowl of ice cream!!!! to ice my elbow... yea right...

Hang in there, listen to the Doc, do the PT, and get out there with what ever you can shoot to enjoy the hunt. I still have a compound and don't plan to get rid of it. It is dusty, but there if I should need it.
