After having surgery last year, I am looking for a bow trainer so that I don't have to buy a new bow. What do yall recommend? Looking for a 70lb draw at 29inches. Would like to be able to use release, but don't want to break the bank on that accubow.

If you can pull back 70 pounds right now the best thing would be to start shooting your bow so many times a day. If it's tough start with a couple shots and increase the amount of shots everyday. There's no better way to build the muscles used to draw your bow than actually shooting. -
If you dont want to buy an Accubow, go to the gym
they have resistance bands you can tie to a rack and pull that way, or back you limbs down as much as you can and work you way back up.
Or actually work out, you dont have to do the actual drawing motion to get your shoulder ready again.Comment

Yea I have been in the gym getting strength back. My bow is set at about 65lbs. Don't really know how much more I can drop because the limbs are backed out pretty far as is. Was just trying to find something to help train on days I can't shoot. ThanksOriginally posted by ultralite09 View PostComment

I guess best advice I can give you would be to make sure youre properly stretching your shoulder out before working out and just train heavy.
I injured my shoulder powerlifting a few months back and shoulder is still sore with occasional pain but my strength is back. Also helps I see a mobility specialist at my gym that helps. Might look into that or a PTComment

Get a 60 lb bow. Your shoulders will thank you for it later on, especially if you are already having shoulder issues.Comment

Why do you want to shoot 70? D**k measuring? 60# will kill anything.
Rear raises, side lat rasies, pull-ups, shrugs with a trap bar, over head press.Comment
