    Brother there are two things about you that I vehemently respect; you follow God and whatever it is you're telling us when it comes to archery...you hold no punches and tell it based on your real world experience. You're honest to a fault sir and it is admirable. Thank you for what you're doing for the sport sir. I'm glad you were able to get over the slump you were in. Good luck this season and hoping The Lord allows you to lay eyes on an absolute brute this year. God bless you and the fam sir.

    I've been watching your videos for 2 years and was so excited for bow season coming up. I just had shoulder surgery Friday and had the worst news possible. It will be 5 months before I can do anything with my right arm and even then, there will be minimal weight. Last season didn't happen because of a car accident injury to my right shoulder, surgery from that 2 days ago, and now this season is over before it started. I have a brand new lift 29.5, UV slider still in the box, and match strings that still need to be put on. Just ordered that nice SKB case from Josh for the lift. I am completely bummed. To miss 2 seasons in a row has just sank my battleship. Feel like I just got kicked in the nuts.😩

    I need an opinion on something, an injury/weakened muscle group which I am currently trying to build back up.I know it's not the content of this video but still archery related.
    Something took place in my deltoid (RH , my dominate side)over the winter, not exactly sure what or when but it was notable and very painful and eventually subsided and recovered but I have recently found it to be greatly weakened in comparison to my LH side.
    I am 50 and in decent physical shape and never had issues with pulling my bow, well now it is. When starting to practice this year, and I had already turned by bow down to 55lbs last fall to prevent injury. Last month I started to practice and much to my surprise , could only muster one full length draw.Had no idea this had happened nor to this degree, 20 years ago you shot at 70lbs without flinching but now I am in old man category. I see some guys saying you should be able to pull 30 arrows during a practice session on your hunting rig, this to me seems excessive , a target rig I assume will be different so I have no current intentions to do 30 arrow practice sessions.
    So I have always done strength exercises and some calisthenics to stay in somewhat decent shape as I see the benefits it has on lifestyle and health.
    So................................. now to the big question....
    Would it be of better benefit to build that strength back and leave the bow as is and leave the bow alone for 4-6 weeks or turn the bow down further , practice/strength train and then turn it back up?
    It's moving a 100 grain arrow at 240 ft/sec , I checked today so this part to me is totally usable for white tail which is my main quarry.
    I have done some more targeted resistance exercises and it seems to be slowly coming around but just curious what those with physical training/conditioning would like to see in this situation.
    Bow is a Reflex Charger riser with Hoyt XT1000 limbs with Cam and 1/2 system( sometimes quads fall on bows when loading ramps break and you need to repair), 27.5" draw length, 400 grain arrow.
    P.S. - This slow recovery as you age starts to suck, HAHAHA.
    Have a good one folks.Watching from central Saskatchewan.
