Rebel Hog. Many years ago I lost my right eye when the head flew off of a nail and went clear through it. I had to start shooting LH. Now my left shoulder is worn out partly because of shooting to many big rifles. I have a tough time getting the rifle up to the bad shoulder as it doesn't want to lift that high. The answer in the not to far future may have to be to shoot with my left eye and right arm. This may mean hunting with the Encore or Contender.
I have an appointment with one more specialist next week to see if surgery would be of any use to me. The old saying about if I knew I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself sure holds true for me. One day I ran about 50 rounds through my 416 Rem Mag. For about a week I had a pain in the area where the collar bone hooks on to the shoulder. It went away after a few weeks but kept comming back once in a while. A couple years ago it came back to stay. If I shoot a big recoiling gun now, I pay for it for ten days or so. Not just a bruise but pain through the whole joint. With anything from about a 308 on up I have to limit my sessions to four or five shots then call it a day. Oh the joys of living this long.
