[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 199482, member: 704"] About 30 years ago I injured my shoulder. The Xray at the emergency room didn't see anything. Then I got calcium deposits that formed impingements. So I had surgery, but they said it would grow back. I was going to be very accurate to 80 yards this year so I bought a bow trainer at Scheels and pulled it every other day. It did get my accuracy up, but it also stimulated that calcium growth I guess. Now it's to painful to pull my bow. I take anti inflammatory (Celebrex) every day for the past 15 years so I can't take ibuprofen so I can't pull my bow. That and I fell in the rocks shooting carp this spring and crushed the bursa of the left elbow. So it's a crossbow for me too. Ticks me off since I just dropped $850 on a Dan Tolke Whip (longbow). I picked up a one year old used Scorpyd from my brother who purchased the Ravin last fall. Then I put a Hawk scope on it. I have only shot it at a target about five times and have not gone hunting with it yet. I see they have really marked down there crossbows at Dunhams. Not as good of a deal as 5577 posted though. Just for information the reverse limb bows have about 50% longer throw than traditional longbows. My 135 lb does 380 fps. [/QUOTE]
