I've never had elbow problems- pitching batting practice, shooting compounds- nothing every affected it. I think the way I'm shooting my recurve is affecting it and though i plan on seeing my Doc is if persists, i'm thinking there are enough guys with experience here to illuminate me.
I'm wondering if the problem is related to my fairly new anchor point. I shoot 3 under drawing with my thumb straight up and then locking my thumb behind my neck. I have a fair amount of tension in my draw arm doing this as its pretty fatigued after shooting a lot. I used to shoot with my hand on the side of my face- much less tension in my arm and never had elbow problems [but worse alignment and easier to flinch]. The pain is right in the joint where the bones come together. It gets so bad I can hardly lift a light bucket without pain.
Do you think the pain is related to the new anchor? anyone had a similar situation?
