[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2065454, member: 63925"] I had complete reconstruction surgery on right shoulder Dec 2018. Bone cyst caused all 4 rotator cuff tendons, bicep tendon to be displaced so had to be attached elsewhere from bone cyst. Torn labrum. Bone spurs. Point is PT got me back so by Oct 2019 I was able to pull 60 lbs without pain. I would recommend a bow in 50-60 range so you can up poundage as you gain strength. Low brace height compounds will have more aggressive cams that can put more stress on shoulder so look at hybrid cams, one cam, high brace height style bows, longer axle to axle. They will give you most ability to draw, more forgiving for tuning. Speed is irrelevant with new bow designs from technology standpoint. I shoot a Hoyt Double XL 60-70 lb and up to 62 now. Hoyt seems to have way more models to look at versus Matthews and I was a Matthews guy forever. But I have orangutan arms so their Double XL fits me best. Don't get caught up in maker and look for the most forgiving bow you can find which will be easiest to draw. One extra suggestion is fixed broadhead since they do not require extra speed to penetrate like a mechanical will need. Lots of good ones out there Thunderhead, Muzzy etc at lighter weights. Example is my son many years ago shot a doe end to end with a 1816 arrow tipped with 85 gr Thunderhead out of a 45 lb Browning Storm bow. I am looking at another surgery on shoulder but waiting until Covid crap is past. Killed 2 does this year with bow so until I cannot draw I will wait. Hang in there and practice will strengthen your shoulders. [/QUOTE]
