6 months ago my elbow started bothering me,im right handed and my left elbow has developed a tennis elbow,anyway thats what the Doc said.
My pratice session before season kept getting short each time.
A week before season i hit it every night,i knew 70# was just too much for me any more,could not pull it back like before,but once i got to the 80% let off point i was fine.
I could pull it back last week but it was a tussel.Got in the tree stand tonight and i did a practice pull,could not do it.I would get to the almost the breaking point but i just couldnt do it.
I knew this day would come some time but just not this soon.
I was mad siten there knowing if a deer walked out i was helpless to do any thing but watch.I put my arrow back in the quiver and just sit till dark to see what would come by.Nothing came by any way but i did see a big body deer in the picked corn field on the way out.
When i got home i tried pulling back the old golden egle set at 70# could hardly even budge that thing.
Well i started cranken down the pse,man it took a lot of cranks to get the point it was comfy.I have a 50# scales so i tried it out and the bow bottoms the scales out well before the break over point.
set the target up and made some shots at 20 yards under the light pole.
Lost about 10 yards off of where i used to be.Im dead on the bull at 22 yards.That will work for me.
Getting old sucks,im 45 but tonight i felt like i had another 20 years added to my age.
the moral of the story is dont wait to be in the tree stand to admit to your self that your shooting too many pounds anymore.
I felt bad enough the way it was,think if some thing like the albia buck had walked under my stand and i couldnt cut the mustard anymore.
