The Veer option.

#1 Post by stumper »

31 happy birthday dave let’s have a bout with Carpal tunnel. For three days, and I have not had the ability to draw the bow with out extreme pain in my right hand. I suppose this would be worse if I didn’t have a left handed bow. At least I’m not starting from ground zero. Get off me Murphy.

No idea yet how this will effect my string tying.

Prayers please. Here a pic of my first left handed group in a couple months at 10 yards.

Sorry to hear about your wrist Dave. I have been through it a few times myself. Took a long time to go away. Not fun. Glad you are able to go left handed when you need to. Good shooting!

Yeah me too. I thought I was crazy when I bought that bow but it was so beautiful. Gonna be fun hunting with it.

What I need Tom is somebody to make me a bow with two shelves.

Kinda like one of those little kids bows we had as kids. I remember that old thing. 😉 I saw a new kids bow that had a metal riser that was center shot with a whisker biscuit type rest in the center. It could be shot either way.
If I recall it had a site pin in the middle also.

I have thought about trying to make one but that's about as far as it got. I have seen pictures though.

I had carpal tunnel surgery on both hands last December. Tried the splints, stretching exercises etc.. just didn work for me. Bet thing I did was have the surgery. First 2 days were rough. But I was probably 100% within a month. Hope yours heals up soon.
