I've had both rotator cuffs repaired, as previous posters have advised schedule surgery after hunting season. I delayed mine for other reasons, surgeon was O.K. with doing it on my schedule, in the meantime it may be advisable to do some physical therapy to maintain shoulder strength. Follow your doctor's advice as to how soon post surgery to resume shooting. After waiting the advised period my doctor gave me the O.K. to shoot without restrictions. I hunt with 12ga., .30-06 and .35 Whelen without any problems post surgery. Good luck !
