String finger problems
« on: August 23, 2007, 10:04:00 AM »
Just wondering if anybody has ever had problems with the tendons flaring up in their string fingers - I shoot 3 under with a "super glove". Needless to say, I have been shooting more lately in preparation for the upcoming hunting season.  The tendon on the inside of my middle and ring fingers gets hard and can cause me quite a lot of discomfort. I am assuming it is tendonitis from overuse.  Any suggestions out there as to how to tame this without giving up shooting all together??
    Thanks   Geoff

lighter weight bow.  :)  shoot less arrows. I was having the same problem, so i went from shooting a 60 lbs bow down to fifty and stoped shooting ten arrows at a time, and now only shoot four. but, I still shoot 5 times a week, for two hour, but no more pain.  :)  hope this helps.
“instinctive archery” is more like playing the violin. Without practice you may remember the mechanics, but you will not be a virtuoso.

 If You can get a Glove made of, or has it Attatched to, it saved my Dead Asleep Fingers, and I shoot 3 Under too! Just my 2 Cents.   :goldtooth:

I love two cents, I always seem to have some in my poket, in my car, and if all else fails I ask my wife for her tow cents. LOL!!
