Bucksnbows Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Last shot I took with my compound would have been the day before early fall bow because I did hunt opening morning, but didn't see my EAB doe that day and then I was getting tests done and then surgery after that. Since my rehab nurses cleared me for 90 lbs. on Friday of last week, I thought I'd try a few shots today. Funny how tough it was to draw back since my shooting muscles were out of practice (I shoot some all year round normally). But there was no pain, so that made me feel good. First two shots a bit low, so I buckled down and focused and put the 3rd shot in the bullseye of my Blob target with a Muzzy 3 blade 100 grain. That's it for today. I'm afraid of overdoing things still, so I'll make sure I feel fine tomorrow and shoot some more until I rebuild my shooting form this spring. Man, I can't wait to sit in a tree again this fall, even "The Tree" (hear that, Rusty?)

BowhunterNJ Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Awesome man! Glad you were able to take a few shots and NO pain is a great thing! As you said, take it slow, don't overdo it...plenty of time! I'd bring a helmet next time you sit in that tree if Matty is around, hear he likes to kick things! Bucksnbows 1
Bucksnbows Posted March 11, 2014 Author Posted March 11, 2014 Matty is probably more excited to hear this than I am. He had to cock back Rusty's crossbow for me up in the tree because I couldn't shoot my Hoyt (that Matty originally set up for me) https://www.troutscapes.com/ https://nativefishcoalition.org/national-board

Glad to hear you are able to start shooting again. Bucksnbows 1
redsquirrel Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 That's it for today. I'm afraid of overdoing things still, so I'll make sure I feel fine tomorrow and shoot some more until I rebuild my shooting form this spring. You have plenty of time before the season. No need to rush things!
Matty Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Really glad to hear this man!!! And not just because I don't want to cock your x-bow in a tree anymore. hahaha... The fact that you're back to shooting a bow...does that mean you feel all healed up? Good as new? I hope so! And did I really kick you in the head? I'm getting self-conscious now...I know I have occasional twitches and spasms...and I shake my legs uncontrollably...but not usually a kicker.....lol... You know I had that video from that day all edited up nice...and my computer froze before I could save it. I'll have to edit it again one day and get it posted. Maybe before the 2014-2015 season. lol Bucksnbows 1 “I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target, but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature’s way of fang and claw and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow.” – Fred Bear

BowTechExperience Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Slow and steady... Take your time... treat your shooting like working out, give your muscles a little time to recover and get stronger... Edited March 12, 2014 by BowTechExperience
Bucksnbows Posted March 12, 2014 Author Posted March 12, 2014 I only took 3 shots today https://www.troutscapes.com/ https://nativefishcoalition.org/national-board
County Hunter Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Good start! What kind of a compound are you shooting?
Bucksnbows Posted March 12, 2014 Author Posted March 12, 2014 Good start! What kind of a compound are you shooting? It's a Hoyt Ultra Tech XT 2000. https://www.troutscapes.com/ https://nativefishcoalition.org/national-board

Palawman30 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Hey Brian how are you feeling otherwise? Any shortness of breath? Any lower leg pains? Vision well? Just thinking of things my pop went through after his bypass. PredaTorch.com Hot Estrous Doe and Other Deer Scent, Night Predator Lights
