[QUOTE="Pdyson, post: 1908569, member: 74061"] After 35 years of competatve tournament archery and bow hunting Arthritis with severe joint degeneration and Impingement pain led me to a total shoulder replacement 18 months ago. I was back shooting (bench) as soon as the stitches came out in weeks not months. In fact I started shooting before beginning physical therapy. I had pain and weakness that affected me primarily in two areas; cycling the bolt hurt a lot (still does) and I still have strength issues....I only recovered 50% of my strength and some moves/ motions I can’t do at all. I often have to reach over and unlock the bolt with my left hand. The second big impact affects my CCW. I had to change my holster location. I cannot draw a pistol from behind my hip. Shoulder will not function at that angle. I had to change to the 3 o’clock position with a smaller lighter pistol. Lastly, I can’t shoot my bow anymore. I moved to a 25# long bow but that’s a long road too. If I knew it was going to be this bad, I would NOT have had the surgery. The price I paid was not worth it. [/QUOTE]
