Heehee, "squiffy", yes, that's the word I was looking for. Describes it exactly.

carpal tunnel syndrome? or similar?

Trip to the docs asap, hold the archery until diagnosis.

Sounds neurological. Sounds significant. Sounds (relatively) persistent.

That's well past the point that your GP should take a look & see what kind of neurology it is. Apparently the internet hasn't yet made them redundant... unless you're having *ahem* certain problems of a masculine nature in which case I can forward you quite a selection of email offers from my spam filters.

Get it checked by your doc! Had to have a suspect mole on my face checked by the hospital a couple of weeks ago, turned out to be nothing to worry about but the consultant said he'd far rather see those all day than the all to common ones that people have ignored and ignored thinking it is nothing untill it is too late to help them!

Managed to shoot normally today. The first few arrows had a little of that "squiffy" feeling, but not enough to stop the shot. After those, the rest of the day felt normal. I'm still considering seeing a doc, or a physiotherapist maybe. I'm just concerned that some docs may not be familiar with archery or certain sports specific issues. I've also seen doctors who tried to get me out of the room as soon as I get in.
