I agree with this bit, but exercising and training your rotator cuff and scapula stabiliser muscles properly to prevent injury is not going to be achieved by shooting bows alone.  Pulling a bow only exercises your shoulder in one direction, you need to balance this with all round training. [/b]
Well, I pull the bow alternating between right and left hand. For me, this helps balancing the strength in either rotator cuff.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

Not as much as I should with this Bum Left Leg. I figure Retrieving my Lost or Targeted arrows is Exercise Enough for My Leg!!
