Had another meeting with a surgeon today and he wasn't as nice as my PT has been. He said that IF I am really careful and IF I continue to exercise and don't push it, I should be able to get back to shooting close to 60# BUT I will never shoot 65 or 70 pounds again.
So with that thought in mind, I have two bows that are fully set up that I won't ever shoot again and someone else might enjoy them.
#1. 70# K&K Vindicator. I bought this used and set it up with a QAD and a Trophy Ridge Hitman 5 pin sight but have never shot it.
#2. 65# 28.5" draw Strother SR71. I bought this new. It is one incredible speed bow. It has a Smack Down rest and a Trophy Ridge 5 pin sight on it.
If anyone has any interest, please send me a PM. I can text you pictures but I can't post a picture to save my life!

crappy deal. Shooting at 60 is still ok.
My uncle shoots 50 lbs and a 27 inch draw. He dropped a moose a few years back with no trouble.

Yep, nothing wrong with shooting 55-60 lbs. I shot at below 60lbs, and down as low as 52lbs, for a few years before my shoulder surgeries. Nothing wrong at all.....

Sorry to hear. Nothing wrong with lower weight. If I hadn't just bought a house, I'd be interested in the Vindy

I'll try and get some pictures to bling when I get home from work today and let him post them.
I have gotten back to shooting at 55# but I have to be really careful there. I'll get there!
Thanks again guys.

Dang elk, sorry to hear man. Doc is probably just be overly cautious and doesn't want you rushing out to yank a heavy bow, but nothing wrong with flinging a little lighter weight either. As a side note, I had the K&K Vengeance, the Vindy's little brother and it was a really nice bow. Lots of people felt the Vindy was the best of the two though and I probably would have went with the Vindy nowadays because I have started shooting longer axle bows. I also had the SR71 and it was an awesome bow, one of the better "speed" bows I have ever shot. I would be tempted to pick this one up from you Elk but the buddy I sold mine to several years ago still has it and he doesn't shoot it so I know I can pick back up from him for cheap  . Good luck. |
