Hi all,
Something real strange happened over the past few days of shooting. I began shooting my recurve bow a lot over the past couple week. Now I haven't shoot this thing since I was 25ish and am now 37. My bow shoulder started to hurt at night when I was laying down and just keeps getting worse. By bow shoulder I mean the arm you hold the bow with not the string hand LOL. I stopped shooting the bow for a few days and the pain subsided so I thought maybe just needed some reconditioning thats all. Now this is the strange part, I began shooting again and when I release the string that is when the pain hits me... No pain at all on the draw or the hold just the release. Does this happen to anyone else? I am worried this might be the end of my recurve shooting in the future. :(

You probably strained your shoulder from so much shooting. Give it a good rest and start back up gradually as long as you have no more pain. If the pain continues, see a doc about it before you cause serious problems.
