Who here has a pre-shooting session warmup routine?  Another back injury has had me stretching out good before I shoot this week.  Got me thinking I should be doing this all the time.

Good reminder.  After two rotator surgeries (one each side) warms ups have got to be a good idea.  Need to keep one of those stretch banks that the therapy guys give you with my stuff.
Most religions teach that you earn salvation by keeping rules. Jesus didn't teach that "good people" go to heaven. He taught that "forgiven people" go to heaven. And He invited everyone, no matter what their past, to come to Him and be forgiven.

I did not warm up this am before shooting my Pronghorn and felt it in my shoulder.

I have been practising yoga- and basic stretches are a very good thing to do.

yep...before and after I shoot: toe touches, trunk twists and front and rear arm rotations.

i do 4 differant stretches before i decide to shoot my heavy bows

1 "wake up stretch"- this is just where you stand on you toes and reach for the sky stretching your entire body

2- shoulder- i act like im going to draw a bow and i work on pulling my shoulders together and then when im at "fulldraw" i drop my elbow and squeeze together for a 5 count

3- more shoulder stretches- reach across grab elbow and pull across chest trying to touch other elbow

4 wrist/fingers- i roll my wrist and then i take my fingers and push them apart, same stretch i use for guitar warmup haha
