I had surgery because I had torn my rotator cuff and my long bicep. The surgery was shortly after my post. The doctor reattached the rotator cuff, but not the long head bicep. I quickly returned to shooting in less than 2 months and have continued ever since. Shot Area 4 and would have shot Illinois Sectional if it hadn't been cancelled. So, yes you can definitely continue shooting with a torn long head bicep tear.
