Last Two Weeks of Bow Season!

[UTGrad]

Well it's upon us...some of the best times to be in the woods with a bow. Although I know many on here continue to hunt with a bow through the season, I will primarily hunt with a firearm once muzzleloader begins.

Good luck everyone!

I primarily hunt with my bow, but 3 weeks ago something happened in my bow arm. Went to the doctor yesterday and it is something that I cannot pronounce and 3D season is now in jeopardy. Borrowed a flippin' crossbow to finish out archery season and then I guess I'll be blasting away the rest of the season.

Uh oh! He's made the switch to crossbow! Hope your arm gets better man. Hopefully it will only be a short break from the bow.

Woah man...hope it gets better. Was it caused from shooting your bow?

Thanks. He couldn't tell me for sure, as I can't point out an exact moment the injury occurred, but shooting certainly isn't helping, the reason why I haven't shot in a little over 2 weeks, but picking up something as little as a cup of coffee isn't helping either. Basically, the main tendon that joins all of the lower arm and wrist muscles is what is injured, and anytime I move the forearm or wrist it feels like someone is sticking a knife in my elbow and it radiates down to my hand�as active as I am there is no telling how it happened. Guess that is what happens when you start creeping up on your mid-40's.

and by the way......crossbows suck period!

I bet that is driving you crazy not being able to shoot.

I hate that about the arm. I tried a crossbow last year for last season in Illinois killed a 128" 9point 1st evening in the stand, not a fan at all of a crossbow! Tried it once, never again! Unless I had an injury like the member above and just had to use 1

Hey TNDeer guy how old are you? I was an avid vertical until it was SS time. Just can't hold one back as long or stable. Pros and cons on both but without one, my broad head season would have been over.

Please move to the crossbow forum.

haha kidding. Seriously, I hope it gets better. I pray and hope I get many more years of vertical bows.

I ain't shooting a freaking crossbow class dadgumit�it's bad enough I'm having to use one of these blasted things for a week!!! LOL

Frank, I'm 43�about 40 years younger than Dixie!

 

[UTGrad]

Dude it's funny that youre shooting a crossbow but not the end of the world lol

If I had an injury I'd proudly shoot a crossbow! I love being in the woods.

 

[RUGER]

For goodness sake don't complain about using one, you will offend someone.


Sorry about your arm man, I know how you feel.
Keep your thumb down, I promise you, it sucks even worse than the crossbow.

 

[W.Seay]

I will quit bow hunting when I can no longer use a compound bow. I just don't get the same rush. I hope you get better soon.

Ouch, that dig hurt me to my soul! Just because I'm old enough to be yo daddy, don't mean you have to be disrespectful! But, I forgive you and being the kinda guy that I am I will help you carry your crossbow at the ASA ProAms!

I may even ask Roy Duncan, your Uncle Grumpy to build you a cart with wheels, that's it training wheels to aid and assist you in carrying your new crossbow!
