oohhhh kay.
I spoke with another doctor from the same office (We have two offices in town one full of reall quacks and killers and then this one. . . . .) and he is of the same opinion. APPARENTLY they believe that the arthritis in my right shoulder may have been caused by damage from the compound bow in the first place due to the fact that the first time I ever reported the problem was after pulling on my bow one day hearing a sharp crack and crying like a small child. . . . . Now their concern is that I have favored the shoulder for several years (You bet yer butt I have) and that if I don't rebuild the muscle in the shoulder it is going to get MUCH worse. SOO the longbow idea was that longbows have a smooth draw, and that if I would work with a lower pound longbow and work my way up that I could probably work back up into a hunting poundage bow eventually. I asked about just heading to the gym and they answer was a resounding no. Their concern is that many of the weight machines at the gyms do not have a smooth pull to them (They exception they stated was the bowflex) and that I could do more damage. . . . . The other option is to buy a bowflex machine for the house (none of the gyms around here have them) and work on that. . . . . like I have the room or money for a bowflex.
grrrrrr SOOO has anybody ever purchased one of the bows from stickbowworld.com? I see they sell low poundage bows on ebay for pretty cheap. IE 25# and up to 70# I wouldn't mind tossing $50 down the hole for the shot that I may someday get to bowhunt again. Basically per Texas law I only have to work my way up to a 40# to hunt with it.
Thanks again.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
