    I'm thinking that too and working on it, but in the mean time, I’d like the keep hunting.

    Already had the surgery back in 2014.

    I may have to switch to compound this year... advice?

    I don’t know how to explain it, but if you know or look up what the labrum is, it’s a better explanation. It’s the stress on the shoulder socket that causes the pain when it puts pressure on that but of cartilage.

    Interesting idea. I may pop into a shop and give that a go.

    I may have to switch to compound this year... advice?

    It’s my draw arm. The worst part is the drawing motion seems to be my weakest or most inclined to pain.

    I may have to switch to compound this year... advice?

    That’s been my thought too, but every time I look at compound bows I start feeling anxious as I see more and more widgets attached. It’s stressful.

    I may have to switch to compound this year... advice?

    I did that. He gave me surgery and scraped some tissue off my labrum and rotator cuff then sent me to physical therapy. My therapist who is a bow hunter told me to get a compound. And here I am 😉

    I may have to switch to compound this year... advice?

    I don’t. But I think after I hit full draw the reduced weight would allow me to hold it and aim with less or no pain.

    I may have to switch to compound this year... advice?

    I’ve been a trad shooter for a while now. Several years ago I injured my shoulder and wasn’t able to bow hunt for a 2 seasons. Last year coming up on the season I was suddenly unable to draw my recurve to full draw without intense pain. I haven’t touched it since, but now I need to start getting...

    Boot insulation?

    I have 22" calves. Gaiters aren't an option lol ETA: I haven't tried the OR xxl crocodiles yet, but the XL Velcro just closes and starts to pull apart when I get my calves pumped. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Boot insulation?

    I agree on function over fashion, but the function of bright colors is what I want to avoid. PA has a lot of public (state gameland, parks and a national forest near by) land, and I generally want people to leave me alone, and nit seeing me is a good place to start. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Boot insulation?

    Thanks for the in depth reply. I don't really need a double boot here in Appalachia, but I wouldn't mind having one if I could find one in subdued colors, which is difficult. I understand why they are typically offered in only bright colors, but there is very little chance of me getting lost in...

    Boot insulation?

    Here in Pennsylvania we don't have the same challenges as western hunting. But what we do have is wetness basically all the time. I see a lot of recommendations for boots such as the Salomon Quest 4D, and I've been eyeing those and the Arcteryx Bora/Bora2 mid as a general use boot. But I...

    What should I look for in a bag?

    Haven't done one yet. Last time I checked some of the stations aren't traditional equipment friendly. That said, I'd do it with an HPG Ute or Qui-ya pack with one of their compression pocket. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Take down longbows

    I bought a used, repaired fox longbow. It delaminated in the handle, but was professionally repaired and the bowyer who did the repair said it should be stronger than ever. It's relatively heavy for me, being a 55# @28 kind of guy forever, at 62@25". I damaged my rotator cuff and labrum a few...

    Greetings from Western PA

    I just came across this site from the Kifaru and Kryptek facebook pages. Still working things out, but wanted to stop in and say "hi". Also, Black Widow IS a bow maker, in spite of being rejected by your registration security ;)
