I recently developed frozen shoulder, and I think it was caused by shooting 3/8 steel with full BF with hunting bands...I've taken a break from hunting...(shooting all together), and I'm doing exercises that seems to be helping the shoulder...but I want to go back to shooting, so I picked up some 1/4" steel for plinking.

Was wondering which thickness would be proper for 1/4"...and really light but zippy.
I could cut .70 thin, but would rather save it for when I'm back to hunting

You came Just in the right time. Have you read the "my ultra psudo, Will it work"?

I followed this post, and it was very informative. Take some time to rest. Try to keep moving your shoulder, do some stretches. Make sure your fully recovered before going full force again. In my experience a re-injury takes longer to heal and could cause more damage. Flex all or bengay will become your new best friends. Dont be like me. Be patient with your body, and listen to it.

Thanks man...I'm willing to give anything a try, as long as the draw weight is really really light...I'm not looking for performance...I just want to plink on cans to keep from going insane...my main thing is super light draw so it won't affect my shoulder...I tried .177 bbs, but they are almost impossible for my bad eyes to track

I'm bad when it comes to practicing patience...something I'm working on right now...I think my shoulder will be good enough by the time an order gets here from China, or so I hope so...
Thinking maybe .45

Short draw.
I imagine I could use 15-10 for 3/4 draw...and cut them a little longer so I'm only drawing them to 400%
I'm not looking for performance...just enough to get the ammo onto a can at 10-15 meters..

Thanks man...much appreciated

That's right, should work very well with 3/4 bf.

My 20-15 shoots well 20+ m distance so Your longer draw should do that same.

here is my 2 cents worth,if you just want to knock a can around,these are cheap,available at the big box stores,and they will throw a 1/4 in steely real well,BBs too,i am not really a butterfly shooter with anything larger than 1/4 in at the moment,but i imagine you could use 2 bands cut once to get the length you need for butterfly,anyway Hope you get to feeling better soon :)

Thanks man...your 2 cents holds more value than you think...I will grab a bag and give them a try...if I can find them in a store around here. I'm really looking at the lightest draw I can possibly get and still hit cans consistently...so even if they are a little too heavy, they look like they'd be great for my 5 year olds frame...thanks again bro
