Let me know how it works. By the time I fix one up heavy enough to soak up the recoil, I will have to hire someone to carry it for me. The left arm will carry a lot as long as it is straight down like a bucket of water. However there is no power in it at all when I get it past waist high. I may end up hunting with a contender handgun again so I can use my good right arm and my good left eye.
