Congrats! That bow has been waiting to help you all over again. Good mojo from your folks, too.

I knew there was a reason for having all these bows!

MnFn, it is good to hear that you are now able to shoot a hunting bow again. Just continue to take it slow and easy, and you will be back in good form in due time. Congratulations on your progress so far.

You have a good eye there, Craig.  The Stickflinger is an easy bow to shoot well.

The problem I have is I feel like I’m cheating on the the other two bows when I only take one of my three favorites out to shoot. 😁
A Black Widow MA, Tall Tines Stickflinger, and a Northern Mist Ramer.   They all have  endearing qualities.
If I get to go bear hunting next spring,  it will be a tough choice.

I will take it easy and slow. But it is not easy.  Working out with two 25 lb  weights  used to be no problem a few months ago.  Now, nearly impossible to do any significant number of repetitions.  I am up to 6 whole lbs for various curls as we speak.
I do thirty reps for each exercise.

Of course a number of well meaning people have suggested I just get a cross bow.  Not happening.  Shooting  Longbows and recurves are an important part of my life and well worth the effort to get back to where I was. I fully expect to be shooting my low 50 lb bows, in time.

    I'm not one to use weights....
Pulling a Bow is more fun....
    When I was shooting in tournaments a lot, A shoot was 84 shots, So I trained myself to shoot my Big 5, 52@ 29 200 hundred times....
    A lot of people get tired and don't do as good on the last few targets, I was just getting warmed up....
Now like you I got to start over, My Tembo is 45@29, I'll be using it....

I would hate to see your other bows get Jealous.  Just send me your stickflinger.  You don't need that drama in your house .

Glad you are healing well.  You'll be back to flinging arrows from heavier bows before the Fall of 2021, hopefully.  Stay Well!
