Thank you all for the feedback.
Another quick question for you all. How does shoulder injuries affect your archery skills?
Reason for asking is several years ago, I suffer a partial shoulder dislocation that while healed still bothers me from time to time.
Will the constant pulling back of the compound bow aggravate this past injury or will it help strengthen my shoulder?
Hard to say without your doctor's input - however, starting off with a low draw weight, and regular reasonable practice sessions, you "should" be able to build up your shoulder over time. You may need to start out lower than you want, but it's better to build up, than to start heavy and wear/tear something again. Like any good conditioning program, steady progress can be made over time without further injury.
If you are limited on shooting access, space, range time, a piece of rubber tubing will help get the draw strength back, and no range time needed.
