Shooting vicariously

I got a load of 8/4 hickory Thursday to use building a dining table for my oldest granddaughter. Somewhere in the process of unloading all the heavy stuff I messed up my right shoulder so I am off shooting for a while. I get an MRI Tuesday morning. I am ordering a left hand holster for my 1911 today. Until this gets cleared up I will have to enjoy shooting vicariously. Y'all keep 'em in the middle!

my BIL had his done like i said, and my chimney guy was over doing the yearly inspections.

they talked about it, now mind you a chimney guy, has to carry x amount of bricks to the roofs...

heavy :poop:

he told my BIL that once you are healed, you will be like a mother hen to the shoulder and every little thing you do, will make you scared into thinking you did some more damage...

he said his doctor told him, "that's a normal feeling"

my BIL goes bowling, that's how he totally lost his arm, his arm fell to his side with the 16 pound bowling ball in his hand.

indicating a tear, and for him, it was a severe tear.

he had the operation, and had to wear that stupid appliance for like 10 weeks, and after 1 full year of no bowling, he and his wife go weekly, and it's like nothing ever happened.

it was all done laparoscopy..??? small incision.

so hopefully if it is a torn cuff, you may have caught this earlier than my BIL......meaning far less recovery times, and PT

best of luck, and if you need help shooting your guns, i'll volunteer to shoot them for you.

you just supply the ammo...of course.

When I took LFI-1 in the fall of 1988, I was impressed with Booya Sam's story about receiving a hand injury of some sort and having to shoot for months with only his left hand. When shooting season 1989 started, I devoted a certain portion of each range trip to left-hand-only shooting. I seem to remember each one of these sessions including 50 rounds with at least one semiauto, 50 rounds with a DA revolver single-action, and 50 rounds double action with a DA revolver. When I started this routine, the gun felt like a completely foreign object in my left hand. By the end of the summer, it didn't feel what I'd call "natural," but it didn't feel completely foreign either. I haven't done that much actual shooting left-handed since then, BUT I've spent a good deal of time while watching TV just handling and manipulating various guns with my left hand only. When I went back for LFI-2 in the fall of '89, I had relatively little trouble learning the one-hand reload with both Colt and Smith DA revolvers, both left and right-handed, which IMHO is a darn good skill to have on file. Will I ever NEED that particular skill? Probably not, but it's good to know that I know how to do it instantly if I ever have to, and won't need to waste any time trying to figger out what to do. ;)
