It all depends on the nature of the tear. The end result depends on the surgery and good physical rehabilitation postoperatively. Commitment to rehab counts!

I don't have an answer for you but I have another question to add to the list. If someone was in the same situation as whackmaster's friend then would switching to an opposite hand bow (righty to lefty) make any bit of difference?

sorry to hear about your problem. Can't realy help with your question but I hope everything goes well for you.

My dad is going in for this surgery in a couple of weeks. His is torn plus the muscle has pulled away. That is because he did it a year and a half ago and it tried to heal itself. The Dr. told him he would be out for 4 months. But dad said he would be out for 2 maybe. But that is just him, he has his own business and will go back to work no matter what the dr. says.

as a body building buff, I spend a lot of time in the gym. I tore mine a couple of years ago, did not get surgery but did a lot of strengthing exercizes, lay on your back, grab a weight (light) hold arm in a L shape and rotate shoulder from leg over head or stand in door way hold arm in L shape (upper arm horiz, lower arm vert) and try to push wall dwn while you are standing inside entryway. arm is kind of in the sme position as a chest fly but instead of working chest you rotate shoulder, this is the best thing to make the cuff muscles stronger to restist tears.. visit a sports med doctor too....

welcome to the crossbow lazyarcher. i'd say 75% of the guys using one on a permit in Pa got it because of those tears and the results of surgery. I wish you only the best in recovery but now you know how someother guys feel. And how they need to put up with the bashing they get for it here in Pa.

Thats a bummer man. Good luck. I have a friend that had the same problem and it took him about a year before he could shoot. He now shoots a lighter draw and does ok, but still can't shoot everyday.

Good luck, I know how you feel. Having stomach surgery on Wednesday and not looking forward to the layoff.

hope it doesnt come to limitatinos for your shooting.good luck,best advise I can give from someone that as they say "been there done that" DO WHAT THE DR. SAY'S NO MATTER WHAT. it is better to take longer now than having to do it again or worse,not being able to repair it.
a friend of mine had it just after deer season ended and he was ready to start shooting in mid summer and hunt the next season in Sept.
