RE: newbie needs advice on cocking
I will be able to carry enough weight on my left side. I just can't abuse my right side. I can pick up a gallon of water without falling over.
pushing, pulling & twisting are not good, Very controlled slow movements I can get by with. I will know if I am exceeding my capabilities. I am able to pick up a 12 ga shotgun but not shoulder it. I could set it on a rest and shoulder it. I very carefully and slowly changed the thermostats on my truck. I had to make my wrench/ratchet longer to cut down the poundage of effort.
