Great write up Scott! Have fun with the bow!
This is a sticky topic.

A month ago, I somehow tweaked by bow arm. I can't quite extend it without it hurting midway between my elbow and my shoulder. My shoulder burns a bit too. I can only describe it as tendonitis. Well, I had hoped it would clear up with some rest, but it really hasn't. I don't shoot Sac much because to be honest, she gives me a bunch of hand shock and that makes the pain worse. When I shoot my own bow, it is not nearly as bad, so I have been sticking to my short 6-12 shot sessions with my own bow so I can keep up some "feel" and some strength on the bow I still hope to hunt with come this season.
Got a appointment with the ortho for next week. I am praying that all I'll need is a shot or two to calm down the pain while I rehab the supporting muscles. As you know, once the pain is too much to handle, you just keep getting weaker.
So, that is my sad story for the time I have had with her... I was at least hoping to make a 3D shoot with her, but that is just not going to happen.

Short update on me... not the bow. The bow is still hanging on the rack... along with my bow which I have managed to shoot at least once, maybe twice a week through this shoulder pain.
Saw a doc today, nothing is torn. Just some tendonitis on the backside of the shoulder that is radiating down my tricep. Got a shot, got some stronger meds, and praying that with a little bit of rehab and strengthening again, I can get back to shooting pain free. He didn't limit me on my activities or draw weight, but I'll know I'll have to take it slow in upping the reps again.

I basically did a lot of fly fishing in order to keep my mind off of it and force to rest that arm (doesn't play a role in fly fishing.)
