My shoulders are not good. Nothing feels right
Shot my .243 yesterday, maybe a dozen times
One shot got me pretty good.
My bow groups suck.
Am shooting 3" at 20 yards.
Definitely can shoot a single spot blueface without much worry these days

Doc said to do whatever you normally do, just listen to your body. Well chasin' elk is what I normally do in September! Not sure if that's what the doc had in mind, but I'm still kicking and the freezer is full so it's all good!

Degenerative shoulder joints on dads side. Cuz about my age had total shoulder replacement a couple yrs ago. Xrays show bones in excellent shape so doc thinks impingement and inflammation- work related. Anti inflams and 6 weeks PT. If that doesnt fix it then have to MRI to check other. No cutting for now

I added a 6 ox weight to opp side of quiver at lower riser hole (1/4-20 ).
Balanced the bow pretty darn good, but it feels like a regular Hoyt now LOL (heavy).
Paper tune shows barely nock high. Close enough I aint gonna worry about it.
Check some BH's in a few and be done.
