This product is great for correcting your shoulder position, but it won't strengthen your shoulder, sounds like you should consider physical therapy also.

Yes, I believe it would help stabilize your shoulder because it is very adjustable - best of luck!

I think you would be better off getting advise from a medical professional. But, that said I don't think this really stabilizes, it's more for posture correction. It pulls the shoulder back and down and restricts forward movement. I found out I have arthritis and it was not comfortable for me to wear while doing things around the the house. Seems like it would make it more difficult to use a bow.

I am not a Physical Therapist. Doesn't sound like a good idea to be doing archery after shoulder surgery...check with your surgeon. Shoulder replacement is still tricky and not as solid as knee and hip replacements. Wishing you much good health.

It has enough weight on the "arm" thingies that rest over your shoulders that it tends to stay in place. I have more of a problem with it shifting when I go from upright to laying down, but that's to be expected. Overall, I am very pleased with this product. I have Fibromyalgia, and my neck and shoulders really bother me. Using this helps prevent my tight neck and shoulders from turning into a headache.

No I don't understand that one. I think it's a matter if what kind of bow that you are shooting. In my opinion, if you are shooting a good strong bow, you won't lose trajectorary

I bought the bow and thought the same thing. I took my chances and was happy to see #55 written on the bow,witch means the draw weight is 55 pounds. They made a typo you know, it hap ends all the time.

I think so especially if you tend to be clumsy, bad sense of balance etc. When I try to stop I tend to get tipsy so I'm thinking the stabilizer bar would have helped. Also when I'm jumping it would have kept me more upright and balanced (if that makes sense).

Hello. Keep going and don't stop. I readjusted my diet and used this in a lot of different ways than what they offered on the DVD. I used this now as a supplementary part of my exercise regimen, so my arms are more defined. Everybody is different, so don't give up! Good luck :)

No it won't help. I had a similar problem. There are exercises that you can do when your rotator cuff tear heals enough to keep movement going and/or being as limited

Yes, the more weight you will have to pull as a bow goes up in weight. It is the Weight of the drawing of the bow when you are preparing to release the arrow.

It's a little difficult moving around due to the wand not having total rotation mobility. I would suggest not purchasing this item if you have shoulder problems.

A lower arm guard is recommended, especially for new shooters. If your form was perfect (hold your bow arm extended, but NOT with the elbow "locked") you would not need it, but the string contacting your arm or wrist is very painful.

I like the bow very much but there is no way it has the draw weight of a 30 pounds. I don't know why a description would say that, but it does vary a bit with the arrow length. Shorter arrows require slightly less force since you are not drawing the bow as far. Great bow, though.

It will help keep the strap in place if you are doing a lot of movement, taking shots on the fly. The strap can slide forward or backward on your shoulder, and the underarm strap basically keeps things in place.

JC, I did not get the handle/stabilizer bar. I had no prior experience and I was able to do all the moves on the trampoline without any difficulty so I cannot personally see the value in a handle/stabilizer bar. I am fairly athletic with good (maybe excellent) balance. If a person was not as sure of balance then maybe a stabilizer bar would be good to start with.

So far I have only used the Caldwell Deadshot Fieldpod with my crossbow. The legs are NOT really designed to be "put into the ground", just set on the ground. As far as stability when I shot my crossbow there was really NO PROBLEM WITH SHAKING. It was very stable. But one must realize that the "recoil" from a crossbow is little to none in comparison to a rifle or shotgun. For these I can not say about stability. Jim Judge Buffalo, Iowa

If I were you, I would buy a bow with a stronger draw weight so that it can grow with you. It would be ideal for you now, but you will get drastically stronger over the next few years, and you will wish for a stronger bow. I know that for the price, this one has nice features, but I would recommend spending a bit more and getting a better bow. You aren't a beginner, so you will be left wanting for more with this bow.

A right (or left) clamp will will put a slight twist on the vane, this causes the arrow to rotate faster which some say will stabilize the arrow quicker after release, or after a not so clean release. Have heard that you lose a bit of velocity with the right and lefts over straights I have always used the straight so I can't say from experience. Not bow dependent at all.
