Just be sure to make sure it's seated all the way before you string it every time.

You bet. I made that mistake once with my recurve, won't happen again...

Man, I just want to say be careful with your rotator cuff.  You only get one set of shoulders ever.  I know you know, but I also know I’ve gotten pretty excited about shooting a new bow, and I also wanted to show up some kids on a mechanical bull two weeks after snapping my humerus in half.  Just saying don’t be a jack leg.

Yeah, that must have been frustrating... and painful. Hope you recovered ever since :(

You're more likely to suffer rotator cuff damage from repetitive motion at work than a 63# bow. Work hurt my shoulder, I dropped weight to 54# for one 3D season, and was back to my normal 60-64# draw by hunting season. Generally, we all drop draw weight as we age, but that's due to age and wear and tear on our joints from work and life. Most don't shoot a bow enough to actually cause damage. You wouldn't be able to draw a bow that tears your rotator cuff in short time.

Thanks for the advice. The accident actually happened at the gym, but some movements are still painful. Tried to draw the Baraga, and my shoulder didn't like it. The 54# bow is OK. I'll keep exercising and take it slow.
