    When I hold the bow in my left hand and draw back I get pain in my left elbow. It is not sore at any other time. Only when I put it under pressure.
    Has anyone had this or heard of this.

    I would suggest you get a physio to look at that.

    Archers can suffer from 'Tennis Elbow' and it's very disabling if it gets established. Would require a long time away from archery.

    The aim of argument, or of discussion, should not be victory, but progress. Joseph Joubert

    The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It's to promote critical thinking.

    If it is tennis elbow (more to do with tendons actually than the elbow joint itself) compression is very helpful so a tubular stretchy bandage is good along with neurone or similar). Allow to heal so you have a short archery break now and not a long enforced break later. Go to a good physio as Greysides suggests.
