A few years ago I had a slipped disc in my neck, a nerve was trapped, resulting in almost total loss of control of my left (bow arm) tricep for about 3 months.
Ever since this, I am frequently unable to lock my bow arm properly, just as I get close to full draw, the arm relaxes, I then have to come down and start again. It is not a muscle problem, the tricep is now quite strong, but a control problem, I?m told that the nerve damage may never fully repair.
Has anyone got any suggestions with exercise, or technique, on how I could re-educate my control system so that I can lock my arm.
If this is in the wrong place, could a moderator please move it.
