I had both shoulders done. It takes quite a while to get your shoulder back into bow pulling shape. My first was done in January and I was fly fishing in May.

Pulling a bow is a much harder use of the shoulder and I would say 6 months is realistic recovery time, depending on your therapist and what he feels your progress has become.

The biggest trial of your surgery is how well you can handle pain, and how hard you push the therapy. Strength takes a while to regain and you don’t want to risk tearing the repair that the surgeon made on your shoulder.
