I'm back!
« on: July 17, 2013, 06:11:00 PM »
I broke my right arm(I am right handed)just at the elbow seven weeks ago. I also sprained my wrist to the point that it would have been better if it had broken. A lot of things have gone through my mind since my accident and of course the biggest worry was whether or not I would be able to shoot a bow again. I haven't been to work since then and today I was feeling frisky. I strung up a 35lb bow lent to me by a friend so that I could ease back into shooting. I shot a couple of warm up shots not fully drawing just to test the waters. All was well so far in fact only slight discomfort which soon subsided. I then took all six of the arrows that were lent with the bow and shot this group in my apartment at roughly yards give or take. I'm back!

Btw y'all like my fancy new box target? It's stuffed with other boxes. It ain't pretty but it sure stops an arrow!

I have two healthy arms and I can't shoot that well. Perhaps is you could tell me exactly what you did... I'd give it a try!

Thanks Wannabe1 I'm definitely taking it easy. It's a struggle though, I want to shoot all the time! Thanks John! Lots of small game, pigs, and deer. In fact archery deer season opened this past weekend! The management in this state is terrible though. I'm waiting to hunt whitetails at home in Tennessee!

Thanks y'all! I will be sure to take it slow. I have one more appointment at the docs on monday so hopefully he will clear me for work! I can't take this any longer, I'm going crazy. I have watched every single hunting video I own plus some and now I'm all out!

I'd like to get my groups like that. Don't think I'll try breaking my arm to see though!

Hope your recovery is quick!
