Despite my ongoing left shoulder problem I could not resist getting back into shooting arrows. I found that having to compensate and concentrate on each shot actually did wonders for accuracy. Had used very light bow at our have a go at a local estates open weekend quite successfully and decided to go up to my fifty pound longbow for our following private shoot. Found the 70 pounder just too much to full draw.

Drawing mostly with right arm and shoulder couldn't seem to miss. Massive aches in neck and both shoulders afterwards but well worth it. Now to analyse why and to apply it after everything is better. Physio Lady approved but suggested leaving the 70 for a bit longer.
