Update!!!
« on: July 13, 2007, 02:43:00 PM »
Surgery was a success. They removed 12 spurs around the ball and socket and repaired fraying in my rotator cuff I am asking the mods. to leave this up due too the following reason.  I for some reason have been deemed the carbon arrow guru and I get a minimum of 6-8 request for advice each day, well I really will not be able to respond to many of them as typing on handed kills me. It took 5 minutes to write this!  I will be up and shooting light weigth in 1 month as there was little muscle or tendon damage. Thanks to everyone f9or yuor support!!  Shawn

One month will seem to go a lot faster now than it would in October! Just go slow; to much to fast will set you back.

Good luck in your recovery.

Ok, but did they use Fletchtite, Duco, GoatTuff or epoxy to seal you up?  :biglaugh:

Slow down and enjoy life.  It's not only the scenery you
miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where
you are going and why.

Great Shawn - heal well.  But 1 question.  What do you think of the different epoxies and designs of cross fibreing between the different carbon arrow makers and the effect on arrow flight when shot from different style traditional bows, including mongolian style horse bows and the like?
