Total shoulder replacement.
I put up my 12 gauge (Rem 870) and .270 (Ruger No.1) away. (fixed actions)
"Heavy Hitters" now are AR15 6.8mm Rem SPC, Remington "Sportsman" 16 gauge and a Mossberg bolt action .410. (semiautos/small caliber)
The Sportsman is okay for a few rounds, but I don't think I'd care to shoot a round of trap or skeet.
Pain:
Pre surgery, I hadn't slept all night for years. Shoulder was bone on bone. Anytime I moved it at night, it woke me up.
Post surgery, FINALLY! Between the anesthesia wearing off and no bones rubbing together, A FULL NIGHT'S SLEEP!
PT was painful...but necessary.
Post PT.
Life is good! 😃
...but I constantly have to remind myself I can't be snatching up cinder blocks, feed sacks, mounted tires, etc.......
