Well I am back Shooting - Sort Of

Went and saw the Physio yesterday and she said that I was able to shoot some arrows again, boy was it wonderful to shoot again at our indoor . Was rather pleased with how I went considering I hadn't shot for nearly three months. One thing I did notice is that the Commander is very heavy in the hand even without the stabilisers and sight, so I have decided that it has to go, to make sure that I can rehabilitate correctly I need to make sure that the weight in my hand is less that the commander 4 1/2 lbs undressed gotta go. I shall keep my eyes open for something that is going to come in under 4 lbs undressed, that doesnt leave me to many options so I shall have to look hard.

Well I have found that my tendon is a bit sore today, I must have overdone it slightly

but it certainly is not a pain like I had been having, it feels like a muscle that I have over worked. The Physio is pleased at where I am at and doesn't want to see me for another 2 weeks. Mind you I stiull have my exercises to do as well as shooting. I am going to drag out the Merlin XT and shoot that as the balance and weight seems to be much better than the Commander, so I shall have to set that up and see how it all goes. I do have an a IFAA to shoot this coming Sunday. Not sure if I will have enough in me to finish it or not though, might be putting the arm under to much stress to expect it to cope with 112 arrows, I shall have to see how I can get the balance of the Merlin.

Slow and steady will win this race and that I shall be, I have retrieved my practice butt from the old place finally and have now installed it in my wonderfully large garage at the new place. So I can at least fiddle and get things set up and working properly with out over taxing my arm (If I go out the range I shall have to do it all in one session at home I can take my time)

Good to hear you are on the mend. Take it very carefully, recovery is usually a long slow road.
