Shooting after shoulder surgery

Sorry to hear about your troubles, CaptCaveMan.

Hope it all works out well...

I had a triple-bypass New Year's Eve of 2009, and it was not until late Feb 2010 that I was able to resume shooting.

Recovery from any type of major surgery is up to the individual...

their ability to overcome pain when going through rehab, their age,

even their state of mind comes into play...

Are you in any type of therapy for your injury ?

I'll be 10 weeks post-op tomorrow and just started PT this week, so I'm probably rushing things. The weather is getting nice and I would love to get out shooting, but I need to be smart about my recovery.Instead of me going out and shooting, I should take my 12 year old granddaughter out with her Christamas present from me, a Mossberg 702 Plinkster and enjoy some time with her at the range.

I had my shoulder operated on in January of 09. I was out of work for 8 weeks then had therapy for 8 weeks. I was on light duty at work for 3 months. once I was off of light duty and got all my strength back I was still Leary of shooting my 30.06 so I shot my .22 for quite a while. I think it was the end of July till I started shooting the bigger rifles.

My shoulder still is 100% since I recovered from the surgery and I hope you make a full recovery to. It was my first and only surgery and I hope I don't get laid up like that again. Good luck to Ya
