My broken wrist is finally healed so I'm back to my bow. any members here from maine? after not using my right hand for really anything for 2 months my #45 bow feels so much heavier than it used to.
it is the wind and the waves not the work that wear out the sails

I broke my bow elbow last winter so I know how you feel. It akes time to heal and you'll have good and bad days but keep at it.

try to shoot several times a day instead of one big session. It won't take long and you will be back to normal.

Way to go.  I recovered from torn elbow tendon surgery and thought I'd never shoot a bow other than a lady's bow again.  Finally I'm back at my old weight as good as ever.
