I couldn't agree more with Earl about this.I hunt 2 hrs before low till 2 hrs after low tide in the water non stop.The only prob i have is my hand going numb gottaa stop and shake off, mmmmy hand once in a while.My arm shoulder elbow no problem what so ever.It is absolutely becaause my Xcall is mounted way out behind my elbow,it acts like a counter weight.When i first got,my GT i took it out first hunt and my arm was shot in no time.I modified my anderson shaft so my gt is mounted behind me ...Never had an issue again...Earls 100% on this one fellas
, a hard titanium skulled ,old school under the cuff mount believer, un- Like myself willing to try different thing's, the CT gang will be swinging it with that set up , until there arm drop's off, I found when I requested an extended position was the perfect balanced set up for me on the Blue pictured, my others are behind the cuff, but not 3 .25 inches back - from the cuff to the start of the brain, like this one, finding are a perfect balanced machine, and no arm stress, its just like a scale, if the weight is under the cuff were will the stress be

Just a wasted post, it all stems from the CT gangs President
Downtime sucks.
Sorry to hear you're out of action Swinglow, you should add another S to your name as a constant reminder
Hope you're back in the game soon brother
I used to get bad carpal tunnel and still do if I hunt for 3-4 days straight. Get the odd back spasms if I'm over doing it too.
What I found helped me to reduce injury was drinking plenty of water.
Drinking coffee just doesn't do it.
Found from my hiking and climbing days that if I didn't or couldn't drink allot of water during the day I'd pay for it big time the next day.
When I'm hunting now I take a 2L bottle of water with me with the aim of finishing it before I leave the beach on a 5-8 hour hunt. I've just got into the habit of drinking water before I'm feeling thirsty. The way I look at it, feeling thirsty is like the oil light coming on in your car, not good.
2L works for me and my style of hunting but others might get by on less. Better to make a few more pit stops than blowing a motor.
Hope this helps.
PS Craig No Knob Guard , protect your investment they are only 30.00 
Yup... I always have a bottle of water with me... although it does weigh down my finds pouch which in turn pulls my pants down especially when the finds start adding up
that reminds me Craig, we really need a "throwing up" or "gagging"
the hose runs around your neck, when you want a drink , its wright there.George, take comfort that your injury is due to overindulgence of a leisurely activity.
My aches and pains are due to 60 plus hour work weeks since April. I got in maybe 4 hours detecting time total since I saw you last a couple months ago.
Seriously though take it easy and hope you get better soon.
the next woman will cook & clean, or I will just be single the rest of my life, with more money PS I used the one in the pick Monday hunting with OBN, flushed with fresh water, I will bees wax it, and silicone the lines before it goes back to bed
That's just like my 800 set up, the machine front starts wright behind the cuff, I guess Swinglow & Captain Silver don't have there machine set up like yours ?, the head phone wire, if it breaks , I will go with OBN's Mods , A new set better, the blue phones are better than the yellow, but there are better waterproof phones out their, PS I think you had a under the cuff at 1st , than you changed to behind the cuff, correct ? On the carbon fiber 1000 Craig sense I got it further back, the head phone wire doesn't even pull, the coils of the wire, don't even spread, howboutit
