It has been 9 months since I had my shoulder rearranged by the surgeon. I started shooting my bow again and the 56 lbs at my draw is tough to start back at. I shoot a Hoyt buffalo and wanted to get a really light set of limbs. I was going to order there competition limbs since the poundage is lighter, but that is on a 25 inch riser. I know that going from a long riser to a short riser will increase the poundage, but by how much?
Thanks ESP

A general rule of thumb is 1# draw weight increase for each inch shorter riser you put the limbs on.

You'll be back at your regular weight before you know it.

Wow! I just had mine worked on 10 days ago, so I guess 3D is pretty much a lost cause this year. The lightest longbow I have is 40#. Now, I'm wondering if that is going to be light enough. What weight are you considering starting at? Good luck with the re-training process.

I would like to get in the upper 30's low 40 lb range. I draw a little over 30 inches. I was thinking if I got a 28 lb limbs add the 6 pounds for a shorter riser and additional 6 pounds for draw length. This would be a reduction of 16 or more lbs.
I am also going to take the time to go to Joel Turners shooting clinic in June. I hope to work out my demons between the ears (Target Panic).
Sam,my surgery was fairly in-depth. My major upper arm muscles were detached and placed elsewhere, along with labrum and rotator cleanups. I know people who had rotator cuff surgery and were shooting light wieght in about three months.
Thanks for all the positive support.

ESP, I just got back from my post-op appointment. Good news! No major work was done inside the shoulder, only some smoothing out. The rotator cuff is not torn. The labrum was cleaned up a little, and one peck muscle tendon was cut loose, because it was just too ragged to work with. He says I might be able to pull a bow in about six weeks. I think 40# will be a reasonable bow to start with after rehab. Hopefully, you, too, will be shooting well before very long.
