Question for the Peanut Gallery ………. If I change from a Bear Weatherest to off the shelf and retune the nocking point, will my point on distance be shorter, longer or stay the same ????

Thanx !!!!!

I don’t know Richard.  I’d just have to try it to find out.

My bows are all just a leather rest with a toothpick under the center of it and the back plate.

Ok ………… Thanx !!!

I’m trying to save wear & tear on the shoulder until I can talk to the surgeon. Bow arm shoulder’s a mess.

I hope your shoulder fix will be good.  My cousin had rotor cuff surgery a couple of years ago and it was about 6 weeks of rehab but he’s back to normal.

I just had surgery for a torn bicep tendon and 6 weeks of therapy.  Hardest part for a while was putting on socks and tieing my shoes.  I’m slowly working my was back to shooting.  First was shooting a slingshot and then my lightweight bows.

Talked to the Ortho-Surgeon today. Trying Cortisone directly into the joint as a last resort before shoulder replacement and a long rehab.

Good luck Richard.  I hope it works for you.

Here’s a link to a Leatherwall forum thread telling about the shoulder replacement surgery he just went through.  He’s going to do a recovery report.

Interesting read. That’s the second time lately I’ve heard of ‘reverse replacement’. That sounds pretty drastic & I wonder if it would stand up to strain from a hunting weight bow. Much to get knowed up on if / when the Cortisone doesn’t work.

Got off a few more shots this p.m. ………… Went pretty well. Even hit my anchor most of the time.
