Well, good morning everybody. Welcome back to another Knock-On Podcast.

And well, once again I have to say sorry for taking some time between these podcasts but obviously summer was winding to a close little dud and Sharon were definitely craving some family time.

And I was definitely ready to take a little break there. I finished up the season 5 on the sportsman's channel for the show.

And the weather was awesome and I was in the process of trying to do my best to rehab the shoulder so to be perfectly honest with you, I just needed a break.

And it was a pretty dang chilled August and then once again had to start getting ready for hunting season.

So probably going to have to cough today. I've been doing a lot of training getting ready for elk season and some pretty demanding hunts that I've got coming up.

So I don't know what it is but it seems like the more I work on cardio the more I always have to cough stuff up.

So if I do that, sorry and you'll just have to deal with it.

But it's been a really cool last couple months here at the Dudley Archery range I guess.

I've probably done more tinkering and shooting really this year than I've done in a lot of years simply because each and every month as my shoulder gets better.

I continually have to change. I don't have to but I've been changing my equipment and you know if I go back to the springtime when I had to shoot a left handed bow with the mouth tab and with a lot lower poundage.

Obviously I had to learn how to shoot that way and had to learn how to set up a bow that way.

And then find arrows that really went well with that kind of poundage.

And then now I guess about a month ago I decided to go back to shooting with both arms again.

And I started out at about 40 pounds shot a lot.

I could only shoot about 20 arrows a day at the most.

I still have a lot of pain directly on my shoulder socket when I'm about at half draw.

It really starts to drive pain into that socket.

And from what I've been told there's just so much scarring inside there because of where that blowout happened.
