Chuck, The best for you on this. Sounds like a lot of guys (including me) have done this and survived. In my case things seemed to go ok till my first appointment with the PT amazon. She turned that arm/shoulder everywhere but loose. I went home and took a break. It was August and bow season was a few weeks away. I thought that if the shoulder can take the amazon, it should be ok to practice with the bow. I drew to full draw and something snapped. I let the bow down and looked at my bad arm and saw the top attachment for the bicep had given way and it rolled up on the inside of my elbow. I drove over the ortho guy's office and since I didn't have an appointment, he was a little short with me till I pulled up my sleeve. Then he sat down on his little stool, put his head in his hands, and I thought he was going to cry. The net result was considerably more surgery to staple the bicep back in place; but, after a few months healing it has been real serviceable the past twenty years or so. My suggestion would be to take a pass on this bow season and be ready for the next.
