    At 60 years I started archery at 56, but old army injuries to my right shoulder, neck and upper back. Since, starting archery these old injuries are doing their thing in my shoulder and upper spine. i was already doing exercises for my back and shoulder, but VA sent my physical therapist that gave me additional exercises, these are the exercises she gave to me do daily. Using resisted tubing on all exercises: attaching tubing to door-elbow height, grasping tubing in hand w/palm down, pull arm to side-keeping elbow straight, returning to start position, grasping tubing-45 degrees from body-elbow straight, pull arm backwards keeping elbow straight, return to start postion and repeat. Stand with uninvolved side towards tubing, grasping tubing in involved hand, keeping arm at side w/elbow bent to 90 degrees, pull hand away from body, return to start postion and repeat. There are two more exercises that I do that has been helping my shoulder(s) to keep me in the game of archery. My shoulders got so bad, that could not sleep on my left side and the right no more than two hours. T-handle release in archery is also a big help, rotating counterclock wise w/ elbow high near to ear has also helped. Randy Ulmer information on T-handle release.
