The "shoulder blade": or scapula is an integral part of the shoulder and responsible for a significant amount of the shoulders range of motion. The shoulder socket is a part of the scapula which also houses the rotator cuff muscles, an external and internal rotator muscles. If you have not used a bow before it is likely you either have a rhomboid or levator scapula strain both of which are common and short lived.
