Important day
« on: December 13, 2021, 04:10:13 PM »
I had back surgery in October, and today is the first day the doctor has allowed me to shoot a bow. So, I strung up my 40# Cheetah and flung a few arrows. Man, did it feel good! Yes, this has been an important day. I only shot about 25 arrows, not wanting to overdo things on my first time back in the game. Did I say it felt good to be shooting again? I do have some conditioning work to do as well as some refresher form training to get back up to where I was before the surgery. All in all, it was a satisfactory event. With a little luck, I may get in a few hunts before the season closes.

Like you said Sam just take it slow. DR. said he wouldn't try shoot a bow again after replacing my shoulder, he said just get a crossbow. My PT guy said "no reason you can't shoot a trad bow, just do what I tell you and you will be fine". That was 3 yrs ago and I have killed a deer every year for the last 3 years in a row. This years buck was the largest buck of my 70 plus years! Just go slow.

Congrats Sam, I just got out of a extended hospital stay and also just got to shoot for the first time in a long time, I’m still basicly down, receiving IV antibiotic infusion 3 times a day but man, shooting a bow even just a few shots , has such a uplifting feeling. I know you have to feel great man…..
