This is what refusal to quit looks like.

These are custom made braces so I can walk normally again, so I can hunt this year, if I can find a bow to do so with.  36" minimum draw, but looking for 40" or so.  Getting stronger, but you take longer to overcome a lost eye.

The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

44" is my max, try that one on.

The braces are Allard Toe-Offs with a custom bit of kit above the knee to constrain motion and deal with the worst case of knock knee he had ever seen.  The right leg has a click when extending the leg, how to shut that up before the woods?

I think he's referring to draw weight.

Keep after it, and NEVER QUIT!

Prayers still being sent up for you.

And I'm pretty sure he meant draw length.

Learning how to walk again is hard to do. Been there. Keep it up! You'll be up and hunting in no time.

Ed, I knew you'd pop back up, man!  I hope things calmed down in your life while you've been UTR. Keep after it.
