Glad to hear the surgery went well. Can you get lighter limbs for your bow? Might be a lot cheaper than a whole different rig.

Glad it went well. Follow your DR's instructions and stick to PT and you'll be back to shooting again before you know it.

O God, thank you for your creation, for the land that sustains us, the game that feeds us, and the hunt that blesses us.  Grant us wisdom to be safe.
Grant us the patience for a clean shot, so that we might be good stewards of every life you give. Amen. (Hunter's Prayer by The Rev. Eldon Reich)

Just got back from the doctor. Got staples removed and i no longer need to wear the sling which is a hugeeee relief.  Gonna take a while to fully heal but i am def making some progress.  Hopefully ill be able to shoot the bow by summer. I told the doc that i was going to go to the range today joking around and he was like are you crazyyy lol.

holy crap John im sorry to hear that! yeah in a sense having it happen after bow season is a plus but getting it heeled up the right way is most important, take it easy and dont over exert yourself.

wish you luck!

Broke my hand and still bow hunt, i went turkey hunting in a cast 3 days after my surgery. I have a screw in my hand and it gets throbbing when it gets cold thats the only thing, very seldom it locks up for a second then its fine.

Yea i have two screws and some wire holding the bone together. Things seem to be going well other than the fact that i cannot straighten my arm. I am going to the doctor next week  for xrays then going to try some physical therapy to try to get back to 100%. Probably won’t try shooting the bow until at least April.
