HELP problem with release hand

[Gehrke145]

Over the last few weeks I've been having sore knuckles after shoot.  To the point were I can't shoot more then a few rounds before I can't hold the string.  Anyone have this happen to them?  I'm freaking out with a mountain goat tag in my pocket!

I would go to the doctor and get his opinion.I haven't had that problem but had a buddy that had them.He had some tendon problems in his hand,you never know but see your doctor is always the best bet in my opinion.

Rest and ice, ice even when you don't shoot. Also if you use a tab slip another layer of leather between your fingers and the string. For a glove get something on/in there too. And do what jry says above.

if you think you just need more padding try a big shot buffalo glove. They're smooth as a calf hair tab and have some sort of neoprene cushions on the finger that really help

I use a Bateman tab, and I had gotten a blood clot on the ring finger, right where the string would slide off, I put a Damascus glove on and it cured the problem until the finger got healed up.

2x check with Dr.  And 2x thicker tab or glove. My choice would be a big shot glove as well.

I had the problem for several years and had to use heavy cardovan gloves or one with metal or plastic inserts.  The problem came back everytime I used a light glove for a couple days.

Good advise here Guys. Something to remember for sure.

arthritis?

More likely tendonitis, you can also get some Arnica Montana pills and gel, very effective on this, but no booze and no caffeine.

You may also want to try using a mechanical release for a while. Take all the pressure off your knuckles, and give them time to heal.
