Out stumping......testing the new knee
« on: February 19, 2017, 04:22:00 PM »
Great afternoon out stumping with KAT and Jeff. Spent a couples of hours shooting foam blocks, 3/D targets and whatever offered it's self.    :thumbsup:    New knee seems to be doing well, my PT is done and now just have to get stronger as time goes by. Beautiful day in the 50's and nice sunshine. Shot my dual shelf Whisper......boy what a nice bow.    :shaka:

That's great Ron.  I just got mine replaced two weeks ago and so far re-hab is going well and healing is taking place better than I could hope.   Good luck - Mark

Good to hear things are going well Ron! I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow and expect everything to go fine. I've been to the woods a couple of times looking for shed antlers and the new knees did just fine. Haven't shot any yet. Took both longbows to Widow at the Kalamazoo Expo for a reduction and refinish and I don't have them back yet. Again, glad to hear you are doing well!

It is really good to hear you are making good progress. You will definitely be ready for deer in the fall.
