any thoughts on this one.:mind-blow
i'm reaching the end of what has been my first full outdoor season and at the moment i'm shooting out of my skin.
i hit a fair few first class scores very early in the season but a few minor equipment and tuning problems have stopped me going further.
i've got these sorted out now (touch wood or anything else that'll stop them coming back) but unfortunaltely i've got a shoulder injury.
The injury is on my bow arm and is characteristic of either capsulitis, or a rotator cuff injury (old injury that has been on and off since i was a discuss thrower).
if its the old injury i can get it right in about a week or so (sooner if i get the frequency right on the machine). if its the other it could be longer (see neo's thread).
i'm easily getting the equivalent of bowman class scores presently as every thing is clicking into place nicely. and the only thing that's wrong is the shouder (weather permitting).
now for the dilemma. i've only got a few days to decide and i'm on holiday for the full time (so physio's not a problem).
Do I:-
a) get my bowman scores at the weekend :fightpotential for county squad)
or
b) enjoy the rest of the season at my own pace:beer:, drop out of the competitions that i've entered into and get my bowman rankings at club nights.
its a funny one but i've not had any dealings with what the long term implications of my choices.
i've heard a fair bit about things that have stopped people from shooting, either full stop or put an end to shooting the bow that they would like to.
i want to stick with recurve and I shoot it as much indoor as outdoor (if it'll sway your thoughts at all)
thanks for any advice.:meditate:
