July 2nd I beleive marks my 1-year post Op. Shot a crossbow last season for obvious reasons and did well.
Was a little bored this afternoon and I've been meaning to dig out my bow for my teenage son to practice on for hunting this fall. Pulled her out of the case, nocked a practice arrow and said, what the hell, pull and aim.
LIKE BUTTER. Couldn't beleive how easy and smooth pulling back was or even holding. WOW. 70# I think but will have to check. My back and shoulders muscles must be totally rehabilitated. Yes, I did physical therapy last fall but otherwise I've just been doing lots of bicycling during COVID. Haven't even hit the gym since early March. Been doing some light push ups for upper body strength is all. Prior to surgery last year my scapula area and tricep had atrophied bad.
Now I'm sorta excited about trying out the bow again. But that crossbow needs love too....
