Got Harvey to the range yesterday. She's learning that shooting uses different muscles from anything else she does and the bionic shoulder gets sore and tired fast because of her neglect.
However, she expected to be rusty, stayed relaxed and shot well. Groups were centered, not off to the left like normally happens when she gets rusty.
I also took care of something I neglect. Actually shot my daily carry gun.
I skip shooting it because I am carrying it and the range rules forbid drawing your carry piece. That means it stays in my pocket rather than getting shot.
The good news is I had nothing to worry to about.
Fun was had by all!
For my shoulder rehab, I was issued a giant rubber band and instructions on moves. I have since expanded and extended these, using a 4 ft. bungee when the Theraband wore out.
ReplyDeleteShe's still doing those exercises. Shooting just uses different muscles.
DeleteHers is a bit odd because she got a bad post-surgical infection and the best muscles and attachments had to be removed because of tissue damage. Her bionic shoulder uses the next best geometry and that affects how well she can get strong.
