I had a complete torn rotator cuff and a detached bicep. My surgery was June 7th of 2007... I'm still recovering. Every time I would see the surgeon he would say "remember that your shoulder is held together with sutures... give it time" I have been slowly being more aggressive with exercise, but I sure as heck don't want to tear it again. As far as push-ups.... kstt.... I'm still doing them off my knees! As for shooting....left handed worked for me. My 65 pound compound may be a thing of the past though... we'll see.
