I gotta say due to a shoulder injury last fall after bow season I had to put the bow down in order to let everything heal exactly the way it should . Dr Said just lay off for awhile.

So I got the bow out after 9 months off. 27 yards out with it being dialed in for 27 yards and dang if I did not center punch the target on my first cold shot. Had that been a deer it would have been lights out for him.

Groups were very respectable considering and I only shot about 20 arrows. Did not try and push myself too hard. Got out to 35 shots for the final 5 shots. All were in the kill zone.

Not feeling too bad about taking the time away. I do know I need to be hitting it hard though. Those angle shots and range estimations always get to you when you least expect it.

It's like riding a bike! Kind of, lol.

Remember, if it hurts, stop! Don't be afraid if dropping the draw weight to gain more reps, especially if you have some soreness.

Yeah I am really taking it easy. My bow is set at just 57 LBS and I its a really easy draw to start with and very forgiving. I don't usually shoot more than 12-20 arrows in a setting. When I feel just the slight bit tired I put it away or do some bail blind shooting.
