I've been feeling a lot of hand shock lately and my wrist is getting sore. Only hurts after the shot. Doesn't hurt at draw or anchor. I've taken the advise of some of you and seated my bow in my hand, got everything lined up, loosened my grip. My accuracy has increased but I'm still feeling soreness in the wrist. I don't really know what else to do.
Does a take down bow have less hand shock than my one piece?
If so, I'm gettin' a new bow. This shouldn't be happening. It's almost too bad too because I'm shooting better now than ever.
Help please.
What
"THAT" tells me is your wrist isn't pinching any nerves at "compression" but may be banging a couple at extension...here's my laymens based on experience prescription...
1. Go to a sporting goods store and spend $10 on a quality wrist brace..i got a nice velcro/cordura adjustable wrap around model at sports authority for about that...no splints in it...just a good quality thick wrist wrap...(justa snug things up so your old, worn, loose wrist joints don't slap around so much at the shot and bang nerves)
2. After age 50?..."Glucosamine" is your friend.....Get the "Fast-Acting Formula" at first...
3. Alieve...(AKA "Naproxen Sodium" at about 1/2-2/3rds the cost of the brand name)...but don't take two at one time...take one in the morning and one in the evening spaced 12 hours apart....Many MD's claim it to be a better anti-inflammatory than any behind the counter anti-inflammatory they can prescribe.
4. Begin a regimin of "Fish Oil"...and you'll need a few extra rolls of Charmin to go with that at first and you don't need to take it long but the Fish Oil in conjuction with the Glucosimine will get some "Buffer Fluids" to you're old worn out wrist joints..take it for about 2-3 months then just stick with the glucosimine..and if i'm right?..you should be fine shortly.
Hope that helps and L8R, Bill. :cool2:
