Is it a permanent injury then, not an injury/weakness that you can work on? It's odd that you can draw with your bad shoulder but can't simply support with it. I guess ypur drawing shoulder is in a stronger position than it is when supporting the bow. Shit one mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mackem 23,661 Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 Thought you might like this born,frank noska took this in Alaska last week,self-guided hunt as he is a resident,flew his little tail dragger into the wilderness and took a bear without rifle back-up. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shit one mate. suffered from a reacuring dislocation for years and had to get all of my ligaments and tendons shortened after a motor bike accident so I have always protected that arm ,because it has dislocated since the op ,luckily didn't spend a fortune on it .it was a second hand sq2 so it was quite an old model and didn't cost a lot but a really nice bow in good nik so a bit pissed off ,but learning to use a lefty is going to be challenging I wil have to get over the eye dominance in favour of my good shoulder ,so looking for a lefty now Edited May 23, 2018 by greg64 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,622 Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 Better than Eva Shockey imo. I imagine a shitload of folks on seeing this will instantly judge her and conclude something negative. I'd only say listen to her on a podcast. Imo she's a great ambassador for hunting. Same as Adam Greentree. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mackem 23,661 Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 Nice lizard,i saw a clip of a guy calling them in with an electric caller the sort you use for coyotes,once they were close to the bank he arrowed it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
