What part of your hand? If it is your hand, can you draw the bow using your wrist and trigger it using your finger? That is how I draw my bow when I use my caliper release. If it is your hand that holds the bow, that could be a concern. My old explorer advisor was an avid bow hunter and broke his wrist. He shot a recurve. He whittled a notch in the cast to fit his bow and went hunting anyway. Pete Shepley (PSE Archery) had surgery on his shoulder and so he devised a system in which he drew the bow with his mouth and triggered it with his chin. He made a DVD about the hunt. He was able to take a bull elk using the system. So, I guess my response would have to be, how bad do you want to hunt? I broke my elbow one year. I worked at it, but by the time hunting season came around, after turning the bow down to 50 lbs and making some adjustments, I went hunting. Had a shot at a nice deer, but I wasn't as prepared as I thought. Let's say that I almost "skipped" the arrow into the deer. If it is important enough to you and you want to go bad enough, you will figure out a way to make it happen.
