Been way too long

[Teber66]

Tore my shoulder up last October and the MRI didn’t look good. So had surgery first week of December and it ended being a tear in my bicep tendon, tear in my labrum and a spot on the rotator cuff that needed cleaned up. Today was the first time I’ve shot a springer since sometime in October and man did it feel good. Got my R7 out and shot this at 13yds. I definitely am going to put the scope back on it because shooting irons there’s too many fuzzy things lol.

Shoulder recovery is really tough!! Glad you're back shootin'

Did you need "air gun detox" at any point in the 5 months ? Maybe the pain killers took care of that ?

Glad to hear everything has worked out , welcome back , good shooting

Thanks it definitely felt good, won’t be going overboard on shooting the springers for a bit but I think my shoulder can handle it now and then. Just gotta keep up with my stretches and strengthening my shoulder.

That is a long time away from springers, glad you are back in the saddle. Take care of that shoulder and that shoulder will take care of you! Slow and steady wins the race!

I think I got the same problem with my shoulder. I have to go through physical therapy before they approve the mri. I'm glad yours is on the way to being behind you.

Shoulder surgery is easy, the recovery sucks. Glad to see you’re back in the game. Good luck

Anytime not slinging lead is a bummer
Had my share of surgeries; glad your back at it

Welcome back.

Had the same problem 3 years ago. Surgeon looked at the mri pics, turned and says, looks like you hit a homerun, then explained what he meant.
Complete tears of bicep, tendon, ligament, cartilege and he was going to have to shave burrs off both sides of my collar bone that were putting pressure on nerves in my shoulder. I got 5 new scars from reattaching it all, 2 months in a sling and 8 months before I could even consider trying to shoot anything. Total recovery was a touch over a year and I still have some problems with it.
My R7 .20 was my saving grace being the only rifle I owned I could do everything one armed with.
Welcome back from someone who definitely knows your pain...lol.

Had both of my shoulders operated on...the right is back to normal, the left will never be. It sucks....but being right handed I'll persevere. Hope yours comes back 100%

Went through something similar. Take it slow!

yes at least once a week for a year or two , keep doing those stretches' with the rubber straps , that's what i did and still do . IT prevents scar tissue from forming .
