Sounds good. I can't believe people would shoot a compound to heal after what the doctors have told me, although I guess anything is possible. The doctor had an othapedic (sp?) surgeon call me the other day to talk to me about the problem. Apparently with me the problem is that the arthritis has set into the rotator cuff and joint in my shoulder. The shrugging motion when pulling a compound is what aggrivated a problem that already existed. The othapedic surgeon DID tell me to stay away from anything but wood stick bows (Coulda used that info earlier) because of the ease of drawing them. He also told me the longer the bow the better for the same reason, less stress. I spoke with him about the medieval huntsman bow and he said that it would be fine, BUT have somebody else do the draw test and he advised not to go over 45#. He also advised, like you, to shoot now more than three to four at a time, then retrieve. He mentioned flatbows, and a load of other things too, apparently THIS guy is a primative bowhunter himself.
SOOOO we shall see how this goes. I have to go grab some arrows from the archery shop in Nacogdoches sometime this week, but I dunno when.

It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
