ouch...lol
 

Nice day out so I figured I would shoot a couple arrows after taking the winter off from shooting....OUCH... 6 arrows and I was done..LOL, from shooting several dozen at a time to 6 arrows! The old muscles surely do need to be re tuned..
But on the bright side I was still able get a pretty good group.

Sttrrreeetttcccchhhh first gotta get your self back in shape... Get some of that tubing 3 minute workout... Learned the hard way myself...
Thanks Leroy

remember try for 7 tomorrow then 8 lol still feels good don't it its a great kind of sore isn't it

Yup, back into 'er. I have eased back in as well and started slow a couple weeks ago. Up to 30-40 per day now, but mind you I only shoot 65lbs. Love getting back into it. The weather is getting me all fired up.

:D like Leroy stated soooo important to warm up after long spell..

had a post on that a while back...

Shoot 12 today felt pretty good but the last 3 should have stayed in the quiver as far as accuracy is concerned..

Yes the warm weather sure is nice will have to put on the Judo points and go get a few gophers in a week or so.

Take your time 6.5
I backed my bow down a turn to start and may take it down another yet.
I shoot peak at 65lbs warmed up.
Once it becomes too easy (I'll know) then I'll start to turn it back up.
Should only take a week or two but you need to shoot at least 3 arrows
2 to 3 times each day. (working back muscles here not bulls or groups).
15 yard shots.

Just try to make the draw cycle soft and smooth to get a solid anchor
every time.

Your focus will settle on the target and all the fight has gone out of
the draw. You may shift from target to release at this point and get
some weird shots due to trigger punch but don't worry.
You are no longer giving any thought to fighting the draw.
:)
Time to add a 1/2 turn on limb bolts.
:)
Steps to work back up to peak dw.
Once there, now you need to check the bows tuning for how it is and
how you shoot it now.

When your back up to the peak weight you want the bow to draw.
You should shoot it at that weight before tuning until it again
"feels too easy to draw".

You get the idea.
