Sugestions
I have been shooting since 1970, IN 1975 I was league champ with a 292 average bullseye.
That was 42 years ago. Now I have a torn, fixed torn rotator cuff in my right arm. Been shooting combat style and not doing too bad. But Bullseye is real tough I am shooting like 220-240 I have a model 41 which weighs in just over 3lbs. I tried my P226 with a .22 conversion kit, weighs about 1.8 Ordered a new volquartsen scorpion, but will not have it until after the matches for .22 are over. I can't seem to make my arm stronger since that muscle is not here. Really sucks for me. Anyone else out there have a similar problem?? |

I am a 61-year-old 1911 shooter who still wins bowling pin matches.

Supposedly 40% of your skill from one hand transfers automatically to the other hand. From there it's just practice.

A torn, fixed torn rotator cuff takes time to heal. Like around 2 years to get back to normalish.
"...that muscle is not here..." Yes it is, but it needs something called exercise. And in 1975 I could do things I can't anymore too.

Unfortunately, it tore again and is not repairable anymore.
