I have come to grips with the fact that I won't draw 70lbs again. I'm 32, just had a shoulder surgery in February, doing rehab dedicatedly, can't shoot my 44lb Ross or 44lb Bowtech without pain, so the 70 lb Bowtech Allegiance has got to go. :shock: I gotta say it is my favorite. With the smooth mods, I haven't shot a bow i like better.....

I guess I'll get really good at tuning, and makin' arrows, seems to be the only part of archery I can do as much as I want....

Thanks for letting a fella cry a bit.

sorry to hear it............
I am sure it will sell pretty quick though on AT.

Sorry to hear that, Zip. That really bites. Hope your rehab goes well and you can get back to shooting again. Heck, get some 50# limbs and turn them down to 40# until the shoulder starts to come around. Good luck!

50lb limbs

My Tribute and 337 both have 50 lb limbs, and I have them set at 44. It helps, but still is tough.

Ah well, my buddy thinks I ought to get my doctor to sign off on a crossbow permit here in Minn. Then I could archery hunt with a crossbow. That doesn't sound to good to me....

Dude, I just saw your ad.............
Didnt know you were a lefty...man that is a sweet Ally.

If you can't hunt with a bow, then get the crossbow. That way you still get to be in the woods!

 

[Grand River Zip]

Lefty for sure.

Lefties........Seems there are a pretty good percentage of us around huh?

Don't fall into the bow vs crossbow BS. I for one don't care if somebody needs to use a crossbow, if you require it then use it. Hell at least you can still get out there.

Do whatever it takes to get you in the woods. I know that's what I'd do.

I'm sorry to here about your bad luck but don't give up yet your young it takes time to heal. I'm 53 I have arthritis,bracitis,tendonitis and 2 bone spurs in my shoulder and they gave me a shot of something new like cordazone almost 3 years ago and i'm shooting a 70lb cardiac over a 100 shots a day and my shoulder feels better and better 3 years ago I couldn't put my coat on by myself or lift my arm higher than shoulder level but my therapist said use it or loose it and he was right.Use a lighter poundage and work your way back up it takes time best of luck to ya.
